^^^^PoKENOF FAREwiW
Counsel From a WilliamsTeacher
to His Pupils.
^^^^H^Ythe patrons and pupils
' Graded scnool:
rlected principal of the
T^^bove school for the session of 1903'04,
then a sk ranger to the patrons.
It was an expression of contidence
which I appreciated very uiuch. At
the close of the first session, I was
re-elected to the same position for
"he session of 1904-'05 wit lout opposition?so
far as 1 know. Dur f"
ing these two years, I did all I could
for the up building of the school?
utilized every opportunity that circumstances
would permit?and I
hope ihat a foundation iias been laid
** upon which the school can live and
prosper, and that 11 will become a
/ great factor for gixnl in that com
/ mutiny.
And now in submitting my resig/
nation to go to other fields of work?
where, perhaps, I can nccooi plish
more, I feel safe in saying that f did
all I could for vou. and I am nut
leaving you to search for a people
that I may like better, or a people
that aie more agrceble to work with.
I hope that I may find such a
noble-hearted people as those connected
with the Johnsonville Graded
scln?oi.
Now to the pupils of the school:
1 feel that in after years, when I
shall hear that you are faithfully
v > discharging the dut'es of some noble
calling in life, I shall be proud of
you; proud liecause T have had the
pleasure of trying t?? pieparc you to
some extent for the battles of life
? I hope that you will let no oppor
tuuity pass not improved.
"Education is the apprenticeship
of life. *'
? It is generally conceded that a
man's success in life depends to an
9 important degree 011 his education;
not so much 011 the extent of the
knowledge he secures, as the kind of
knowledge, the impressions he receives,
the inspiration, the enthusiasm,
the ambition to do something
and be somebody with w' ich his
school experience fills him. Education
is the only sure foundation
which will elevate character.
"The possessions of men's hands
;\re nnicklr consumed, hnfc knowl
* ?" l? J >
edge, which is the mind's ric hest estate,
endures forever."
As the years roll by you will all
r> be brought to a station called the
crisis of life. According as the
choice is made at such times life becomes
invested with happiness or
mantled in misery. Much of future
character and destiny is wrapped
in the decision then made. When
you arrive at this critical period in
life, remember the words of the immortal
Shakespeare:
^ "There is a tide in the affairs of
men, which, taken at> the flood, leads
on to fortune. Omitted, ill the
voyage of their life is bound in shallows
and in miseries."
When you have launched out on
the tide and are figuring in the affairs
of men, standing as a man
among men, rememl?er the words of
Scotland's sweetest bard, who thus
wisely sings:
"But where ye feel your honor
g"P>
Let that aye be your border,
It's slightest touch is instant
pause,
Debar all side pretences,
And resolutely keep its laws,
Uncaring consequences."
1 think some arrive at the crisis
of life at an earlier age than others.
It has been stated that the foundation
for nine-tenths of the great,
successes iu business and professional
life is 1 -id before the twenty-fifth
mile-stone is reached. By the time
men are tu< ntv-five, they are in the
groove, out of w liich very few ever
twist the wheels. They have selected
their profession and have indicated
their grade of work, thereby
opening or closing the doors to pro
motion. They have secured, or forever
failed 10 secure, a liberal education,
and that absolutely establishes
the limits of human iiseful''
ness. Thev have fixed their "mental
*
. habits, so that they are thinkers, investigators,
or mere followers. They
have decided in what class their intimate
friendship will be found and
that is doomed for good or ill. They
have fixed their moral habits. Appetite,
tongue, passion, imaginations
*. are either trained or rampant at
twenty-five. Chaiacter is driving
on, downhill or up, aud olde; people
clearly see the direction it takes.
Faults and failings of that day are
remembered to keep men out of positions
at fifty. Thus early in life
do men pronounce sentence upon
themselves, whether their entire career
shall be uoble or mean,brlliaot

Little Breeches. a
By John Hay. we
The following is John Hay's most t
famous poem. It is a more J We
general favorite than even "Jim M
'Bludsoe."' The.e verses are includ!
ed in the "Pike County Ballads."1
| They show Mr Hay as a master of
pathos and as possessed of a genius Am
superior to that of Bret Harte's, for
j reproducing the racy dialect and A
