Other forms of training may bring personal satisfaction and pleas- ure to one's mental life, but the education that enables you to actually DO THINGS better and more efficiently, will give you a broader training and a firmer grasp of those things that make for your betterment, socially, physically, finan- cially and religiously. -'- -'- -'- -'- -'- -'- -'- The live, wide-awakeicitizens of Clarksburg and com- munity have determined to give the young people an oppor- tunity to advance and grow into useful men and women. To do this, they have planned for a real school -one that is thorough-one that will teach high aims and ideals, honesty of purpose. promptness, alertness. courage, agressiveness, morality and many other things, that make for success. -' N our industrial, social, civic and religious democracy everything waits on education No real progress and no lasting improvement in any line of life is possible except through the better education of the people. -'- Q -'- V If - -Philander P.
