IN DUR
VALLEY
BY G. NJ. HALL

IN next Tuesday school bells Will
again ring In Brownsville in
chimes which viii echo over the
Valley.
With the opening Of school ter
the Brownsville Rotary club Is in
augurating a move to impress upon
youths coming into manhood the
great advantages Of remaining i'll
school.
Here is one OF the reasons this is
being done. Out Of every 1000. who
begin in the grade schools, III finish
high school and IA finish college.
II is the trained memory, trained
observation and ability to know men,
coupled with a knowledge Of funda-
mentals learned In school that fit
a man for life's work in the broad
est sense.
The boy who remains IN school
will never regret II. The boy who
leaves undoubtedly viii.
From fifteen 70 twenty-four years
OF age every boy who overcomes OBJ
stacles and gets that foundation
will be amply repaid for 1t III the
years TO come, or else ne Will labor
all his life continually overcoming
obstacles and sometimes seeming
defeat because he does not possess
that background.
