In 1944, Mother Ambition called to her young son, 48: HMy son, the time has come when you are to be tested for four years to see if you are ready to go out into the world with strength and confidence. For nine months out of each year you must go forth on a journey of learning and return to me at the end of each trip to report your progress. Co, my son, ’48, and my blessings go with you. At the end of the first allotted nine months '48 returned and hesitantly began: “Many times groping in the darkness of ignorance, I lost my way, only to be set right again by my teachers and fellow classmates. Now, Mother Ambition, weary and forlorn I return to you. The path of learning is a difficult one. Please do not make me return. But Mother Ambition replied, I shall always remain near to help you. You must return. Creat things are in store for you. Fresh from adventure, '48 came back the second time. His face was bright as he reported: Mother Ambition, I am inspired with a desire for learning. I have become aware that my great fault is not knowing the worth of things. I am sorrowful of my ignorance. I have so much to accomplish and without your help I cannot exist. Many times I have been ashamed of my lack of knowledge, but I am truly stronger than I was on my first journey. “You have learned the key to education which prevents many people from acquiring knowledge. Since you have realized your ignorance, you will indeed learn. Co forth again and return later to me, she commanded. At the end of the third year ‘48 reported enthusiastically, “Joys are mine indeed in these many things which I have witnessed, Mother: a champion football team, a champion tennis player, the winning of the sportsmanship cup, a voice in the student government, recognition of my efforts in school work by the faculty, and all my studies helping to quench my desire for learning. What is greater than knowledge? Mother Ambition, well pleased, replied: “My lad. you are well on the road to knowledge. One more journey and you will behold the lamp, bright and untarnished. Cod speed thee on thy way. In May, 1948, for the last time '48 trudged homeward. Mis reward, the lamp of knowledge, was held high and burned brightly. My dear Mother, he appreciatively said, I return to you with my reward. It will always burn brightly for me and for those around me. For the last time I have gone forth into that dear old house of learning, and no more shall I hear the cheers of the throngs triumphant in her halls. Now- I shall go forth into the world. I have fought well and hard. Remembering the lessons I have learned, truly I shall strive to accomplish great things.
