he had to cultivate industry, tact and

of household, that same self-pro-

spring. Dutifully he titled the soil,
cut the forests, challenged the trcach-
erous seas, all to provide for and sus-
tain his family.
With succeeding time, mans indus

his unfailng zeal to make the world
better place to live in. The children
