The best educa tion is that which prepares for the necessities of life. No man can live in ignorance and make a success of life.

The i successful man must be trained to | think and to ezpresi his thoug Vs • forcibly. Jar-" Kccmat Instil •• gives such s i '•'.'■fnUmi us yourp people of f-> •■riil .•/: i.
