Message of the President Cri JfKMHKRS OK Till-. I!»:;i (iiiAi)rATi (i Class: (%J f I oil are k ' iniii;; ' your (•()mi)imi()ii.s and liapjj.v student da. s to enter wlial, c hope, will prove a sueeessful and satisfactorv career. Ou now o forth into the real world of men and things to engage ii])on real ta.sk.s. The next few year.s will ])rove the acid test of your ca])abilities, sturdiness of character, ability to rise above discouragements and the lures of cit ' life. I ' hat which is worth having, is worth striving for. The fact that you have .s])e nt three years at The National Farm School, is an evidence of your desire to make some branch of agriculture your vocation. No business or profession offers more to the young man of individuality and pluck, who is willing to work hard, — than farming. Few projects can be startefl with as little capital, and bring better returns in proportion to the brain and brawn invested. No pur- suit offers greater opportunities for health, hap])iness and independence. A di])K)ma is in itself no open sesame to a well-paid or eas ' job. Promotion and success de])end upon yourself. You have been trainetl for your job, — go to it, — it is up to you to follow through . I voice the ho])e for your success, held in the thoughts of oiu- Faculty, Trustees and the generous ])ublic who make this School possible. I trust that you will achieve the best results from the advantages received here. In these extremely com])etitive and strenuous times, with city jobs greatly overcrowded, an agriculturist properly e(|uii)])etl for his job, who employs integrity, energy and ambition, is on the high road to satisfactory living. You must not always consider success on a dollar and cents basis, but rather in work well done, in contentment, in health and the knowledge that you are rentlering service for the common good. When on your job, always remember You must learn to obey before you command . Work steadily, honestly and conscientiously for your employer; save a good proportion of your salary, so that some day you may be able to ])urchase and manage your own farm. You are all our boys, and I want you to feel that your welfare and advance- ment at all times are very close to my heart. When in the neighborhood of Doylestown, or 1701 Walnut Street, Phila- ilelphia, we shall always be glad to see you. Yours for success, - Herbert D.
