Montana's Hospitality
ITO most of us, only a few months
ago. Montana was nothing but a name.
Now it is a state which has won our
admiration for its scenic beauty, our
wonder at its immense potentialities.
and our utmost respect for it's enor-
nous distances. We shall carry home
with us the most cordial feeling to-
wards your people.
Some of us. who have Travelled all
over these United States with the Ma

past. know from experience that the
American people Of every state are

and women of the nation. but somehow
you Of Montana have put just a little
more cordially into your greetings.
just a little more sincerity into your
welcome. and just n little more pride
into your praises of the wonders Of
your state.
Montana's Record in Education
I'VE have seen your peaceful valleys.
have been delighted with the beauty of
your waterfalls and have admired your
great crops of grain, but to most of us

Psalmist to say, Il will look unto the

state in matters of education. 1t has
hardly been mentioned. while such less

be more than proud of being
the leader of the whole country in edu-

of the nation for the work which
will fall TO their hands.
Il can admire your industry in mat

envy you from the bottom of my heart |
for your standing in matters of educa-
ton. And my best wish to you is TO
see TO it that that standing shall be
maintained for many long years TO
come.

beautiful scenery and fish in your
rivers and lakes, but will serve in build
