The arrival of this season of the
year, when the rural schools begin
their terms, brings forth memories of
the days gone by when we used to
march forth over two miles of hill and
vale night and morn to secure the
limited supply of acquired knowledge
we now possess. While the amount of
our learning is far from great, we
would not exchange it for piles of gold,
if il could never be learned again.
Those seem to have been our happiest
DAYS and were surely our most prec-
ious. as we labored over what seemed
TO us then as the most difficult prob
lens i'm the world. However, since, we
have learned that they were very tri-
vial affairs in view of the difficulties
and trials that come later in life. In
view of the fact we should like TO inn
nress upon the minds of our school
bows and girls of today that while we
probably can't al secure great wealth
in n material sense, we should at least
be able to acquire that vast amount of
practical knowledge furnished by our
common schools which will surely be
of great value to us in the years to
come
