AuTocRAr ON EDUCATION
oliver Wendell Holmes DescantS On
intellectual Attainments.

Your educat on begins when what
is called your education Is over
when you no longer are stringng to-
gether the pregnant thoughts, the
"jewels hve-words louy," which great
men have given the = lives to cut
from the raw material. but have be-
gun yourselves TO work upon the raw
material fcr results which you do
not see, cannot predict. ana which
may be long in coming when you
take the fact which Life offers you
for your appointed task
No man has earned the rght to
intellectual ambition until he hes
learned to lay his course by a star
which he has never seen-to dig by
the divining rod for springs which
he may never reach. In saying tins
point to that which will make your
study heroic For say to you in
all sadness of conviction that to think
great thoughts YOU must be heroes
as we'll as idealist5
Only when you have worked alone
when you have felt around you a
black gulf of solitude more isolat,ng
than that which surrounds the dying
man. and in hope and in despair
have trusted to your own I'm haken
will then VIII you have achieved
then only can you gain the Sc
cret isolated joy of the thinker who
knows that, hundred years after he
is dead and forgotten men who
never heard Of him viii be moving to
the measure OF his thought the
subtle rapture Of a postCned power
which the world knows not because
it has no external trappings but
which to his prophetic vision / more
real than that which commands an
army
And if this JOY should not be yours,
still it is only thus that You can know
that you have done what it 10y in you
to do-can say that YOU have lived.
and be ready for the end.

REDEDICATES NATION TO
IDEA OF WASHINGTON
President Harding Makes Address at
Valley Forge-Sufferings of
Patriots Recalled

Valley Forge, June Ga sermon
Of faith in established American in
stitutions and Of hope for a day OF
peace and good will throughout the
world was preached by President
Harding yesterday from a woodland
pulpit overlooking George Washing
tons historic camping ground in Val
ley Forge.
The Presidents address was de-
livered from the cloister OF the Wash
ngton Memorial Chapel to crowd
of several thousand persons as
sembled under the auspices of the
Valley Forge Historical society. The
President said:
= Il have always been grateful to my
good friend Senator Knox for the
service he rendered to the nation as
one Of its ablest statesmen, but |
find myse'f paying the tribute of
added gratitude because today for
the second tine has made 1t pos
sible for me TO come to this shrine Of
American patriotism and join with
you in tribute to those who gave us
the heritage of liberty and national
it,.
Il thought while the rector was
speaking how indissoubly we are
linked with the beginning. Washing
ton came to Valley Forge in the max.
ing of the Republic, and you made
him president because OF the things
he did here, and u century and a
third afterward / come as president
because we share the heritage he left
us and we can join in paying trioute
to his service.
ut is good to come to this shrine
of liberty not alone to offer willing
tribute to those who perished here,
but to rededicate ourselves to the pa
triotism which suffered and sacrificed
here in order that our new standards
of freedom and democracy should
q hid,
