is known by It's ideals, ard that
the fate Of the commonwealth de-
pended upon the moral victory Of
the clean mind and stout heart,
DR.. CIoyd II. Marvin, president of
the University of Arizona, chal-
lenged the evil forces which are
gnawing at the vitals of our edu-
cational system in a ringing a1-
dress before the delegates of the
Parent-Teacher association at the
banquet given at the Masonic Tenn
pie last Saturday night.
More than 100 delegates and Wis
itors were in attendance and the
affair outstripped by far anything
of its kind ever held in Winslow.
The ladies of the Eastern Star
served the sumptuous fOur-course
feast and many were the praises
voiced by those in attendance.
Grady Gammage, city superin-
tendent of schools, acted as toast
master and responses were made by
H. E. Gounkin, superintendent Of
schools at Holbrook; G. F. Jones,
superintendent of schools at Lake
side, and Sam Proctor, of The
Winslow Mail.
Mrs. Bruce Matthie rendered two
splendid vocal selections, accom-
panied by Mrs. j. Day at the piano
and the high school orchestra con-
Quoted by Charles A. Goodhall fur
nished pleasing music throughout
the evening.
DR.. Marvin's address, which
closed the finest program ever
heard in Winslow, was in part as
follows:
"The best social economy of to-
day is the care and culture of men.
Culture, not coddling, but rigorous
training-not something put ON
from without but development from
within. Harsh experiences of con-
turies show men are not made by
easy processes. Character is a
hardy plant that thrives best where
the north wind tempers the sun
shine. You can't make nlen by
sheltering them; only by making
them stand four-square and on
their own responsibility can that
be accomplished
when | hear parent say that
he doesn't want his son or daugh-
ter to have the hard time that he
had, put it down in my little note
book that he is depriving that
young person of the birthright to
learn self-reliance.
What is the best way to educate
a man, to help him build himself?
The first way is to put him to work
at something which interests him.
One way to interest him is to vital
ize his task in terms of everyday
activity to show him that lie has
vital part to play in life.
"No man is well trained that his
own soul was not brought into the
process by himself.
Power to choose right and wit
to know and power to attain, is
the armor needed for the one who
would build for himself a character
worth while. This can only be
done by the casting off of weak
ness and the fostering of strength
for to rid the life of vice and folly.
Strength must grow in their place
and only the diligent heart search
ing to size up the future in the
clear light of Truth can ever ac-
complish anything worth while.
Zone of the best results of edu-
cation should be that you should
know a good man when you see
one.
"To detect error one must study
truth, and to know good men one
must study good men.
"The man who knows nothing of
courage, of endurance, of the un-
expressed faith, of the unspoken
loyalty that knits together COM
is without vision and can
never hope to fill mans place in
the scheme of life.
There is an ideal community if
there is an ideal humanity-it is
for us to so live that it may be
more nearly realized for our having
lived. To live Alright is to guide
our lives in the direction in which
is going-not all hu-
not average humanity, but
that saving remnant from whose
loins shall spring the better man
of the future.
"Sin is mans failure to realize
his highest possibilities. 1t is the
between the actual and
possible man. Misery is the pro-
test of nature against personal
Nature makes us
neither good nor bad, but gives US
of being so.
"The nature of successful life is
that of contribution. Money does
not mean success. Arizona stands
for preparation for success in life
financial standing, surplus accu-
only an incident, a minor
factor.
"The fate of Arizona depends on
the moral victory of the clean mind
and stout heart.
"The real Arizona is known by
its ideals and it's results"
