lions of youth. The future never pays
all that the present promises. Nature
holds back part of our wages lest we
cease work.
There is always hope for the young
an upward aspiration, like some trees
which have such a longing for sunlight
that they crowd past anything which
hinders their progress, bending in
their course around trees, reaching
up, until they get above the surround
ing forest and battle their proud heads
in the bright free air.
To grow higher, deeper, wider as the
years 90 on; to conquer difficulties
and acquire more and more power; to
feel all ones faculties unfolding and
truth descending into the soul-this
makes life worth living.
"A sacred burden is this life We bear
Look on it, lift it, bear it solemnly
Stand up and walk beneath it stead.
lastly,
Fail not for sorrow, falter not for sin,
But onward, upward, till the goal We
win"
Classmates: upward and Sunward''
that is the motto we have chosen for
this day. But is that enough? Today
will soon be yesterday. The memory
of this day will long be with us.
Shall it be only memory? No, let us
every day be spurred on in whatever
we may choose to do, by our resolve
that we must do our part and do it
we'll, ever looking upward and Sun
ward"

UPWARD AND sUNwARD.

Hundreds of children regard educa.
ton, books and schooling as evils brot
into existence to torture them. and
mar their childhood. Often this is be.
cause teachers and parents do not
place this matter before the children
in the right light.
There is work to be done in this
world by everyone and we cannot push
our share of work on to some other
boy or girl. God expects everyone to
do our best while we are on this earth
and we cannot do so until the brain,
that wonderful organism wherein lies
our soul and character, has been sown
with seeds of knowledge. II we did
not pillow the fields, fertilfze the soil
SOW the seed, there would be no crops,
no harvest. So with the brain; the
soil Is there and without education,
without careful sowing there can be
no worth while harvest.
In Europe by intensified cultivation
of the soil they produce twice as
much wheat to the acre as we do and
the brain If properly cultivated will
produce a harvest of culture several
times greater than the brain that has
been merely scratched over or not
touched at all. We only get out of life
what we put into it.
We do not know what the future
holds for US but it will hold very little
II we are content to stop at the eighth
grade or do not even reach that com
mon place goal on the golden highway
OF knowledge. Ignorance ties us to
the earth just as ball and chain con-
hnessa prisoner to one spot. Knowl-
edge sewers the chain of ignorance and
fills the mind with golden currency
that no robber can steal. Whatever
OF good there is In this world is the
result of knowledge, whatever Of evil
Is the result of lack of knowledge. We
can hide sin, crime and vice but no
one can hide ignorance.
The fate of this country depends on
the education of the people and this
education should be acquired in youth.
Some people in later years can make
up Tor the wasted opportunities in
early life but very few can. Educa-
ton Is the apprenticeship of life. Hor-
ace Mann said: "Schoolhouses are the
republican line Of Qualifications" !Theo-
dore Parker said that nearly everyone
In this country gets .m0uthful of edu-
cation but scarcely anyone gets full
meal. When this nation gets a full
meal for the brain as it does for the
body, heaven on earth will be close
at hand. ST 5

As now enjoy the home paper more
than ever, will also write few lines
in it. ::
My travels have been far since l
Joined the army. I enlisted in Grand
Rapids, Mich, after attending school
at that place one year. Was examined
there and sent the same evening to
Columbus, Ohio. Here only remain
ed two days when was sent to my
new home where still am staying.
The experiences encountered were
similar to those reported by the other
boys. The trip from Columbus to
Boston was very much enjoyed by
most of us; others were thinking of

in Boston Bay about seven or eight
miles from Boston.
have been over there and visited
the old State House, Bunker Hill and
other historic places.
It sure seemed queer to see the
streets in Boston. They are all so
crooked you almost find yourself CON-
ing back. The streets are all the old
COW paths with houses and buildings
built on the sides. 1t is known in the
History Of Boston and the United
States, that Boston has the most
crooked streets in the United States.
Life in the Army is not bad, as I
have been here month and know,
althO at first the change is great and
the sacrifices are great, more than
thought of at first. We have very nice
location on an island with the nearest
shore about one mile away. We must
have a pass to get off to Boston or
any of the Forts. We can see the
lights nearly all around us. At the
opening of the bay we can see the big
ocean steamers come in going to Bos-
ton
We see airships and submarine
chasers here every day but only few
submarines yet. It is an ideal sum-
mer resort only we got here three
weeks too soon and still saw a few
flakes fly. The weather is ideal now
and nice and warm to drill. It takes a
few pounds of sweat of mans body

ARRIVED at San Antonio, Texas, fine

omitted by editor.) There are ten men
in my tent all fine fellows, and we rep
resent nine different states. Every
thing is done to keep the men in per-

old fashioned. You will find an up to

monastery all jumbled up. Mexicans
abound, some parts of town are solid
are as common here as robins are up

are dressed so that they can't do US
any harm. After all, Texas is pref
ty good old state-a good climate.
While the days are very hot, we have
fine cool nights. 1t seems strange to
see the crops so far advanced. When
we came down we bought fresh straw
berries all along the way. Corn Is

different states, including Illinois, Wis

must say Minnesota is the one that
looks like home to me. Springfield,
Illinois is more like western Mime

big parade Decoration Day and It
certainly was a great sight to see the

behind the flag they once sought to

day, and you know I did justice to it.
