n v rc Ao ' e) V rn y A TRIBUTE TO LUTHER BURBANK r ‘V , ' . v - c ' cS mf • 0 ■ ,-, l M. «•! j Luther Bur hank, he who loved everybody, lies, peace fully sleeping on his lone couch under the old shannon tpfa cedar. Under the tree which he brought to proud fruit- ri ' y at ion, he sleeps the eternal sleep of death. Ho was laid to rest just as the mellowing rays of the declining sun shot its golden beams through the Lebannon’s stately -Oy branches. The sun in its retreat smiled a blessing upon the little mound under the old tree. r I Though death, the consoler, has laid its hand upon Luther Burbank s heart ho will live in our memory for- V jyover. He has come as a meteor that has whirled its way ) from its void into the small garden of this universe to tarry awhile, nursed by the wind, the sunshine, and the cO-j rain. Should nature, his recognised God, will it so, the brilliant spark of his spirit shall live forever in ' the sweet fragrance of his flowers. It is impossible to estimate the wonderful wealth he has so generously showered upon humanity. Many of his plants have been of the greatest commercial value. Mr. Burbank would have been one of the richest men in the world if he had sought monopoly. But ho found more joy in giving than accepting, a joy that money can never bring. In reviewing his service to mankind, we recall the words written by Jonathan Swift, more than two centuries ago. Swift gave it as his opinion that whoever could moke two ears of corn grow upon a spot where only one grow before, would deserve better of mankind and do more essential service to his country that the whole race of politicians put together. Luther Burbank has accom- plished the seemingly impossible in life, among the cre- ations of Nature. Burbank was a personal friend and benefactor of our school; he was one of our most beloved of friends and pa- trons. The photograph which he so kindly presented us will retain a place of honor among our treasures forever. His encouraging words and best wishes still echo in our ears, and wo boar his name as proudly as our banner does, and love it. The pupils of Burbank throughout their lives will always cherish the gentle spirit that gave so freely and gladly to his fellow-men. They will strive to live up to his high ideals and teachings.
