received by the audience, while the
lecture of Chancellor Bradford at

ever been delivered before Cam
bridge audience.
Chancellor Bradford iectured up
on the subject. This Way Up and
in his address he made a strong APP
peal to parents TO give less time 10
money grabbing" and more time TO
the care for their children. He en-
phasiZed the necessity for educating
children, showing how handicapped
the children Of the next generation
are going 10 be if they are uneducat-
ed. CCntradicting the statement OF
some persons that they are not"able
to educate their children, he stated
that~there were never such opportunl-
ties for young men and women to Sc
cure an education as today; deserV-
ing young men and women can hnd
plenty of means of earning their
livelihood while obtaining college
education.
illustrating the fact that where
there is a will there is a way, ne
smoke of his own experience. A
country boy. raised on the fear and
love of God, he determined 20 secure
an education: his father took nm 10
the nearest station, bought his TIC
ket to the college town, gave him the
eight dollars and some cents lett
from the purchase of the ticket, ana
started him off. He arrived at the
college. stated his situation, and went
tn work; in the winter he got up at
four o'clock in the morning and
cleaned the snow off Of paVements
in the city, at five o'clock he shovel
ed the ashes from the college heat
ing plant. got up steam. and attend
ed classes during the regular hours;
after school he did odd Jobs; during
the vacations he acted as coachman
for wealthy families, worked on
farms, anywhere that he could earn
and honest dollar, and when gradu-
alton time came he had the honor OF
being the spokesman for his class,
the leading Universities of the World
Speaking upon the subject OF OPP
portunities for$ young people, he
stated that never in the history ol
the world have there been Huch
splendid opportunities; today there
are not one-half enough trained men
to fill the vacancies that exist All
over the United States. The great
business interests /of the country
have men travelling from place 20
place in the country looking tor
Young men of capacity, young men
who are honest, who are straight
and steady, who have ability ana
have by training and experience Ut
ted themselves 10 occupy response
Bile positions and there is no limit 10
the salaries they can earn.
But, these are not the young men
who go through college because 1t is
considered the proper thing 20 do, Or
because it is the place to have q jolly
good time, or, the place to spend
fathers hard-earned surplus cash;
these are not the young men VINO
have been raised to believe that
their only mission in life is to have
a good time. instead they are the
men who realize that life means Op-
portunity, that there is an obligation
resting upon everyone OF Iod i'
creatures 10 be something more than
a butterfly, an obligation 10 put
something into the world instead OF
merely taking out; they are the
Young men who have courage and
determination; who stick 10 things
until they have mastered them; who
do not feel satisfied with the feeling
that that's good enough but who
do honestly and fully that which
they have 20 do.
The world today. the lecturer said
is looking 90 this country Tor re-
building and recreation. and those
who must do this work are the boys
and girls of today. In olden times,
not so many years ago, there was
such a thing known rs family pray
err" fathers and mothers gathered
their children together and asked
for Gods blessings upon themselves
and their children for the day; foI
Divine protection and guidance and
were strengthened thereby, but To-
day, that is old-fashioned; people 40
longer feel that they have asked God
for help or for advice or for ald'
Fathers are so busy grabbing dollars
and mothers so busy doing society
