mine to the laboratory, where it is
transformed through various chemi- !
cal processes until it comes out In |
shoes and finally watch springs |
In it's original form the clay is
worth twenty-five cents ton,
while in it's final form it is worth
many thousands of dollars per ton
This transforming process is due
entirely to education as applied in
the laboratory.
This finishing process, Mr.. Sou
len showed. may be seen in every
walk of life and in every industry.
TIL sagebrush land of southern Ida
ho, whose value was once nil, has
been transformed until 1t is now
worth a thousand dollars an acre.
The skill of the educated man has
used the forces that are inherent in
nature and, by combining two
great elements. such as soil and
water, made the land worth a
thousand times more than it was
before,
, Second, education pays because,
: in time of social upheaveI and un-
: rest, it enables one to formulate
: sane public opinion. The present
: day radicalism reveals lack of pro-
h per thinking. There is a lack of
: true patriotism, which applies tc
T capital as we'll as to labor. We need
: clear thinking just now There is
: something wrong when a girl thinks
n more of a French heel than of high
y minded principles.
: Third, the speaker emphasized
: the fact that education IS or great
e est value in the moral and religious
. ideals that it inculcates. The human
: factor determines everything in life
! and it does this for the very simple
reason that man may rise to the
y highest heights and sink to the
!. lowest depths Of all that God has
I" created.
= The speaker concluded his address
' by making striking appeal to the
- parents to cooperate with the
! schools in the mental and mora
:. development of the children. The
job is too big for the teacher alone
; Mr.. Soulen paid fine compliment
!. to the efficiency of the public
school system of Orofino, rankins
n it among the best. He paid par
% ticular compliment to Prof. R, r
