which he said developed the person
but did not create what was not
there in the first place. Every child

relisiouS nature and each was de-

education the United States was only
50 per cent efficient, though we spend
over $34 every year per capita for
educating a child in the grades and
over $50 per capita for educating d
young person in the high school. Less
than 50 cents per capita Is spent for
religious education per capita and #
our public school system, on which we
spend so many millions, is only 50

spoke of the influences for good or
evil around US and how the gang
too often influenced the bow against
the desires of his parents. He es-

in education as the one GREAT need of
young people in their character devel-

words, "and what shall it profit a
community if it rain the world and
lose its bows and girls, or what will
community give in exchange for its
bow and GIRLS"
