-s. e 5 l mao My dear students: Many years ago on a bright May morning some little children went out in the fields to enjoy a day in the open. As they went out of do-ors that heautiful morning, they saw away to the west a house with golden windows. Certain that their happiness would be complete if they could only be near those golden windows, they set out to reach them. All day they struggled along through meadows and swamps, over streams and rocky ways until at last when evening had come, they found themselves in the yard of the house with the golden windows. They looked up expecting to hehold a beautiful sight. Imagine their disappointment to find that the golden light had disappeared and the windows were just ordinary glass ones. Tired and hungry they now directed a longing glance toward their own home and how great was their surprise to tind that their own little home had the golden wtindows. Like in a n y Others, these little children had made the great mistake of thinking that the souree of their happi- ness must he far away- anywhere hut near at hand. The facts are, the elements of happi- ness are always near at hand and may be grasp- ed hy everyone if he will only reach out and make them his. Daily work, refreshing sleep, sunshine and friends.,- these are things that are within the reach of all and without which life would he meaningless and sordid indeed. My hope is that you will all come to an early realization of the fact that enduring happiness must come from within and not from without- through an investment in character and intel- lect rather than through wealth or any othe r source. Your sincere friend, John ll. G1l1iS6'.
