In reading history, studying life,
is if not a fact that our greatest men
come from homes where the woman
has offered the inspiration to her
children?
In many a home it has been thru
sheer force of will, presistency in
the face of opposition, a woman liae
forced hor children thru school
always wanting tlitrn to ho belter
than she was, and to profit more in
life than was possible in her lot.
To be appreciative of one's own
city; of one's own schools: cf the
good in our community this is not
boasting. It is meeting honestly facts
as they are, and being able to he fail
in our comparisons. Thru this we
should feel inspired to work harder
for what we have, and to constantly
support progress.
We quoted Burbank once before
in saying "Nature is unconcerned"
this is the fault with our large cities.
In spasmodic periods, like the holi
days, special effort is made to spread
cheer to the hungry, underfed, un

cities. The rest of the year they are
met with unconcern.
