is at the m of the magician
of dreams. always.
Through the darkness of the past.
young Palmer saw the briiliancy of
h future-so he threw his whole
sou into carrying the Message of
Chiropractic TO the world.
He knew he could not go the way
alone. SO he began teaching others.
Establishing a school was the first
big job.
Possessing only his fathers debts.
and discovery-to his mind, the great
est and most important of all time
with a smile on his lips and n song
In his heart, he threw his whole soul
into the work. Go there today and
see h material evidence that he has
done his work weli-think back to his
humble beginning-and you'll see
that faith in himself revealed and
summoned forth the force hat justi-
ned that faith!
That was but twelve short years
aso. Convinced of the boys deter
mination and burning sincerity. the
father returned to help. A magni-
ficent memorial building stands there
today. a sincere tribute to his life
and work.
There is a subdued sadness in DR..
Palmer's eyes. for he has won against
terrific o~dds-suffsred, known and
felt. The onward and upward climb
Is ever saddened by sad separations.
He won. like all big men have won
not because OF the help he got. but
despite the disbursement he re-
ceived.
He Is more than q teacher. He Is
a builder. ono OF the greatest of all
builders. a man builder. He teaches
and makes his men while they are
on the job and W of the teach
ing. He teaches them TO win success
by deserving success-which is the
only sure and lasting way.
He knew that no matter how much
he taught his pupils about Chiro-
practic, IL he didn't teach them how
I o sell that knowledge to their fellow
men, -they-like his fatherTwouid
drop by the wnyside.
SO he taught them that, and lie
teaches them today,
Unlike other institutions, the stu
dent leaving his institution does not
go out alone. Every week he gets a
letter from "homer-an enthusiastic
instructive newspaper edited by DR.
Palmer himseIf-giving him not oniy
news of the school. but tho latest de
veiopments In C~hiropractic through
out tho world. Also comprehensive
editorials dealing with the men who
are engraving their names on the
oorimn of things done. A print shor
does the graduate students printing
for them at small cost-advertise
| ments are written. moving pictures
are loaned them. In short. every
thing possible to help them Gomez
with a cheerful handgrasp from the
mother institution!
Other schools sprung up-some
good. some Indifferent. Instead Of
discouraging them, DR.. Palmer en-
| couraged them. He possessed tht
vision TO know that competition slim

| but when IL becomes destructive. it,
hell.
Realizing that the future of Chiro
| practic depended upon the strength
of its weakest link, he set about tS
| help them all. So he invited them tS

further: He invited them to Daven
port to receive a weeks lectures
Free!- each yearl Now TO his
"Lyceum" CONF four or ivo thou
sand practitioners each and every
twelve months.
And no does not forget their wives

the wives are silent partners"-con

wife takes tho course right alons
with her husband at The Palmer
School. at practically no additiona
expense.
So, all in all, you have with tbs
seven or eight thousand practitioner

School. 4.
How few, how pitiably Few. Ameri

future: That II pays-in dollars ane

But you can write 1t down as ar
absolute fact that II does-that you
will win that way and that you WI
win no other way but that wayl we

for It is through each other that we
become ourselves
For then we are practical philan'
