as plants and some trees.
First and slowest, the invisible growth OF
the root. The second, the hidden growth of the
stem, and third, the root and the stem combined
throw out the blossom and flower.
The Pennsylvania Railroad over the
Schuylkill River above Girard Avenue was
almost whole year widening it's bridge to
increase it's trackage for the increased freight
traffic Much of the work was the broadening
of the foundations, and almost all out of sight
inside the caissons under the surface of the
water.
The beginnings of almost everything worth
while, the preparation by school studies,
learning trade or professional life is hidden
work; it must have roots deep in the mind and
heart; purpose the second step, and later on
the bloom, when the years of getting ready will
show the flowers of success.
Years and years of toll out of sight are
back of this enterprise that grew from little
acorn.
