I have p«at two days more full of 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 » Jong, long time about books. »pintu>n. of more heart-warming j “The first reason for education is npani.-nship as these have been. 1 self-enjoyment, seif-Aniprovement; those things you can’t do.
