The Feel.


I've finished the postholcs, set the posts
And strung up the wire and hung the gates:
And this is not one of tho idle boasts
That men spout loudly to cheat their Fates,
But I'm frank to admit that I'm feeling fine
Weary and Sore fellow can
Who has lined his posts down tho hard
fought limo
And feels the feel Of an outdoor man.
I've pruned the trees and the vines and
sprayed
And tickled the Earth. and I've sowed my
peas.
And the jobs OF which / once afraid
Arc nothing to tackle on days like these;
They're nothing to tackle-the hardest row
Is the easiest one. when a man digs in;
And It's full OF the vim, the tackle and Go
And it straghtens your shoulders and
squares your chin.
And ii isn't fad passing freak
OF fancy, that works in the thing mean
And it isn't idle foolish streak
That comes TO man when his blood runs
lean
But it's something that riches the blood-a
thing
That teaches tho sluggard that life Is
And it only can come when the souls on wing
OF the man who labors. and knows the

When tho whole story Is told OF American
achievement and the picture is painted of our
material resources, We come back TO the plain
but significant fact that far beyond all our
possessions in land and coal and waters and
oil and Industries is the American man.
To him, his spirit and TO his character
his skill and to his intelligence is due all
the credit for the land In which we live. And
that resource are ncslectinS.
He may be the best nurtured and the best
clothed and the best housed OF all men on this
great globe. He may have more chances to
become Independent and even rich. He may
afforded. lie may have freedom to speak and
to worship and to exercise his judgment over
affairs of the nation. And yet he is tho most
neglected OF resources because he does
we do not refer to that--but rich in the en-
dowmcnt of powers and possibilities such as
no other man ever was given.
Twenty-Five per cent Of the 100000 men be-
drafted into army could not read nor
write language, and tens of thousands
could not speak 1t nor understand 1t.
To them the daily paper telling what Won
the message OF their comma nder in-chlef were
as so much blank paper. To them the word OF
mother or sweetheart came altering in through
other eyes that had to read their letters.
There is something lacking in the sense OF
n society that would permit this in land OF
public schools.
Here is raw material truly OF the most i'm
portant kind and tho greatest possibility for
good we'll as for III.
The whole people must turn in that direc-
tion. We should enable ALL without distinc-
tion. to have that training for which they are
fitted by their own natural endowment. The
school Will yet come TO be the first institution
OF our land, in acknowledged pre-eminencc in
making OF Americans who understand why
