I'VE inherit a government stable
fundamentally. we are people whose
house is founded upon rock, but
the superstructure Of that house is
weak. We have social and industrial
evils. There are far too few people
at the top and far too many at the
bottom. We shall be unworthy in
heritors if we fail to make the most
unselilsh use of those goods which
the great army of dead have be-
queathed to us
Our greatest responsibility is the
training OF our children. the genera
tion which must bear the extreme
pressure of reconstruction. which
must remodel the world With a
keener insight than was ours before
the war into the meaning and pur
pose OF education, and with an in
spired faith in our ultimate success.
we must use the agencies OF the
home, the school and the church to
secure our ends In order that these
instruments may be OF greatest serv.

ed. by bcnor and recompense as to at

ambition, fine minds and Wills.

the best possible manhood and wo.
