Now, my friends, you will not be true to j our schools, nor your community, nor your own children, if you do not lay down everything, close your doors, both at home and the places*of business for one or two hours, and come out to hear these men. If you have any Questions which you wish to have answered, come out and let these school men answer them for you. Let them tell you what the trend of education is, and also, to show you how you can materially help in putting forward a plan for better schools and better results from them. Can you conceive of anything so impor tant as making men and nen out of your children? Nothing will compare with it. What will become of your money? In most cases, it is either swept away or it estranges your children, causing them to become life time enemies. Lets put our money, our efforts, our best into the head and hearts of our children, then it will be safe. Nothing can take it from them and then they will have a fair chance out in the world.
