Schools were not so general then, ami your parents were probably as well equipped for the battle ot life as were their neighbors Now the facilities for gaining an education, vilh- out cost for tuition, from the kindergar ten or primary school, through the col lege or university, are open to all. hen vou begin business or a professional life, it will be tinder a competition of whose fierceness your parentshad no experience. I his is no longer the age of the stage coach and canal. Steam has annihilated distance, and electricity has outrun time. It is said that only one in five who ein- bark in mercantile life finally succeed; that halt who enter the legal profession remain in it no longer than five years; anti the same proportion in other pur suits. One reason for these frequent failures and changes is believed to be the lack of suitable preparation. The laws of trade have become so complex as to demand the widest knowledge and clos est attention for their mastery. The arts and sciences have so enlarged their boundaries that only a specialist with a good general training can hope for suc cess. The learned professions are so crowded that only the most thorough I preparation will enable one to reach a commanding, or even an honorable, po. sition. Let nothing, then, but the direct neces sity induce you to leave school. Run errands, chop wood, milk cows, fish, sell newspapers, do anything honorable to continue your education. Let your motto be, To him who wills, nothing is impossible. XVe are proud of the young men who have passed through our high schools, normal schools, colleges, and university, in the mean time supporting themselves, and, in many instances, their widowed mothers, brothers, and sisters, by the labor of their hands. They are the stuff of which great men are made. They have left behind them the legacy of their example to inspire you. If you fear that your entrance into active life will be to long delayed, remember that it is far better to begin life late well pre- rared than early and unprepared. Christ was thirty years old before he entered upon his public ministry, and he was a perfect man. The world’s greatest deeds have been done by men past middle life. \\ hen old and blind,Milton composed his immortalepic,Paradise Lost, and the un approachable Illiad is supposed to be the work of Homer, ‘ the blind old man of Scio’s rocky isle.” Then make haste slowly; do what your hands find to do conscientiously ; improve your talents, whether great or small, and you will sooner or later reap a rich reward.
