WHY MANY FAIL.
Boys and girls of Chemawa, do not
let jpeople point to you as "failures."
The expression is common that uso and
.so is a failure" in life. Of course the
unexpected may happen and give the
appearance of failure to what will ul
timately prove a success. Of such cases
we are not speaking, but of what is prom
ised by the conduct the youngsters who
come under our notice day by day.
! The boy or girl who "does' things,"
shows energy, ambition, the right spirit
in whatever position he or she may be
placed, will grow to be men 'and women
respected by all and a credit to them
selves as certainly as night follows the
day. But the youngster who is al ways
tardy and slow in starting whatever task
is allotted him, or who shirks all he can
when face to face with duty, bids fair to
develop into nothing worth while and
in all probability will never rise to be
anything but a drone among his fellows.
The opportunity is offered everyone
to be honest, to , be industrious, to a
credit to himselfit is an inheritance to
be accepted or cast aside. He who ac
cepts it is wise, but he who refuses the
gift is a fool and bis life can serve no bet
ter purpose than to illustrate to others
the folly of such a course.
