In view of the dignity Of work, I say
that all men In this country ou.ht to be
taught to work with their hands. That
they should be taught to think, that their
brain should be educated, is to be in~

thus far. But | hold, since work is
dignided and noble, creative and benifi-
ccot in its uses, that American education

There is no feeling SO peculiarly un-
American as shame of work. 1t is
foreign vice; it is vulgar; it has no busi-
ness here. The mau wht does not know

ashamed; the man who does know how

man to carry himself up. Any man
who inherits wealth is like man who

himself at pinch and improve upon it.
He will do anything sew on buttons,

write a Sc mon, listen to one, or any other
drudgery that society may impose upfn

faithful servants; and when all from the

thoroughly intelligent, then subordlnation
OF work will give to US again useful aud
trustworthy assistants. But We are
living at period when work aspires but

in every household complaints are uttered
