you ever wondered ruolly why you
were going to school? There are
two gnat reasons—one is so involv
ed in the other that nothing but
Pure selfishness separates them. The
f.rst is self-development to devel
op that thing which is best with you
to the highest degree. Self-improve
ment—a thing never really becomes
your own until you understand it.
j Books, education, open up to your
undcititanding all the whole wide
world of science, mechanics, geogra
phy, hbtory and literature and crafts.
A book is a ship with fairy wings
which takes one to far and distant
shores. Books are such happy thing.-
There’s n little verse that says—
’! do not care nbout being rich
Owning lots of motor cars—
I'd like to he a poet tho,
For they own all the stars.’
**Oh, J’d so like to tulk to you »

No jewels so lovely as the flash of

gins with ‘Oh, do you remember’—
and We do. I would learn to make
friends—it’ s so easy just being
friendly. I would learn not to make
excuses but to work. I would learn
no; to whine hut to forge ahead. I
would learn not to wait for so
body to help me—I’d help myself.
I would learn not to wait for
opportunity, but to make it. I would
learn to rely on myself and to scorn

opportunities for service—look with
in yourselves and see the beautiful
