the pleasure and delight of meetin,
that night, among Others, the distin,
guished and late Prof Richard i
Greener, who remained a staunch and
faithful friend and patron Of on,
school until his recent demise in Ma,
OF this year. Prof. Greener, as we al
know was a philosopher, thinker
scholar and a genuine patron OF pro
gressNe moves that tended to upIift
humanity, and was thoroughly con.
Fersant with the sciences taught a,
our school He knew my parents in
the East, and considered it unions
privilege to have met him here and TO
have had him consider me worthy OF
the extension Of the friendship he held
with my parents and surely to have
allied himself with my professional ef-
forts as he did. / believe all of US
here who knew him miss his presence
this afternoon; yet l am certain, il
such be possible, his spirit is with US
now.
The work of the Clio School of
Mental Sciences was opened formally
IN Chicago, January IS, 1917, in our
own building, at 1869 Calumet Ave
nue.. The following summer, how
ever, it was thought better for the
publicity OF the work that we locate
IN the new Jordan Building, at 36th
and State Streets where we remained
until the summer of 1921. In Janu-
airy, 1870, the school was incorporated
under the laws of the state of Illinois.
The work had grown successfully dur
ing this time, and indefinite plans were
afoot to extend the usefulness of the
school still further, by adding as a
side line a department for instructing
persons whose education for one rea-
son or another, had been neglected, or
who needed further training in the
subjects OF the higher grammar school
grades ard first year high school sub
jectS. The influx of our people from
the South and other parts combined
with reconstruction and readjustment
conditions through which the world
was, and is still passing, makes care
ful preparation along all lines so nee
essary that the training OF both brain
and mind or intellect and personality
seem Fery fitting to be grouped to-
gether in the same institution. Just |
about this time, however, the unem-
ployment condition and industrial de-
preston wave swept the land, strik-
ng Chicago with as full a force as IT
struck anywhere, and the wisdom OF
such an expansion arose. Our minds
we're, by this time, attuned to a plan
IF expansion, and when II became
evident that such expansion was I'M
wise, at least flor the time being, our
minds took an opposite stand, and
Ictive work at our State Street school
vas suspended temporarily. The year
II partial rest and business activities
hould have merged into the reopened
md enlarged activities OF the school
his autumn; but the hand of destiny,
let us say for want OF better world (

peak this afternoon; but since It is
courteous duty which ] owe my
riends and well wishers here to ad-

ume the pleasant obligation, altho

themselves whatever they wish to be (
Even the most slightly educated ,
erson today, knows to rather prae- :
cal extent that the body IS con- I

e should conclude that to be sue {
essful he needs to cultivate his mind
n both the objective and subjective 5
lanes; then by application and per- {

E can succeed. Yet, for perfect sue 4
ess even by this method one needs
, keep his mind as pure and as lair

Life and character are one and IN
