LANCASTER HIGH SCHOOL X-RAYS. 9 The Good Clothes f tore. West Main Street. Education and j Prosperity £ America at the present moment en- joys a prosperity which has never been equaled by any other nation. This is due in part, no doubt, to good administrations ot government, to our laws, to our groat natural resources and to the sustained and continuous policies which have governed the country. But the term, national pros- perity, really means the prosperity of the citizens as parts of the nation. Therefore, since the nation can be prosperous only in proportion to the prosperity of its citizens, It is worth, our while to consider the one thing above all others which brings pros- perity to the citizen by making him capable of taking advantage of tho great opportunities which our coun- try affords. Let us consider the re- lation which intellectual, individual and moral education bears to the prosperity of the citizens and hence to the prosperity of the nation. The first thing that intellectual edu- cation does for a man is to arouse in him the idea that he has been cre- ated for a purpose. As a result of this he seeks to better his condition. 10 advance In life. Thus education causes him to take his first step to- ward prosperity and it now directs his steps by showing him the things which will aid him tnd the methods he must pursue in obtaining It. At the same time that intellectual, education makes him a more prosper- ous citizen it also makes him a bet- ter citizen. He sees more clearly the relation of the individual to the state, his love and pride for his country In- creases, he strives to build it up and protect it and of necessity he will first build up and protect his home. In direct proportion to the increase in intellectual education comes a de- mand for improvements ot all kinds. Every invention, disoovery and re- form is the result of education. To verify this we need only to comparo the progress made by countries which have been enlightened by education to the condition of countries still under the clouds of Ignorance. It is a sig- nificant fact that no ignorant man ever solved any of the great prob- lems in the scientific, mechanical ami social worlds, hut that all great in- ventions, discoveries and reforms have been made by men whose minds have been so trained by Intellectual C ( education as to prepare them for those tasks. These invaluable labors of master minds contribute immeas- urably to the prosperity of the na- tion. One of the most important ques- tions of the day is that of internation- al | eace. Tho advances already made in this direction are almost entirely due to intellectual education. As na- tions become more educated they realize That.war is deadly opposed to prosperity. They are abler and more willing to settle their differences by arbitration and tlius create the con- ditions between nations under which man must labor if he would be pros- perous. It is possible that, under any view of the creation of man, human life, or the life of a people, may bo prolong- ed by intellectual education. Ignor- ance of the laws governing our physi- cal well-being has a far-reaching effect upon the national life. Education acquaints men with the laws of nature, teaches them tho result of disobeying these laws and thus tends to drive disease from the laud. We can not have prosperity without healthy men and women to seek after it: educa- tion helps to develop men and women of this type Industrial education teaches the dignity of honest labor. A man who has been educated In this direction becomes as willing to handle a spade as to handle a pen, as willing to re- ceive wages as to receive a salary. He will put brain into the ordinary vocations of life and by the law that Intelligence will bring to its possessor Its own exceeding great reward, he cannot help being prosperous. Poor- houses are not built for industrious men: policemen are not employed to watch men and women whose hands are busily engaged In honest, toil. • Moral education has to with tho QUICK JOOS, The Reliable and One Priced Shoe Men See Them for Snappy Shoes WEST MAIN STREET training of the heart. No matter how wealthy and intelligent a man may be. he cannot bo prosperous in the high- est sense unless his heart is right. Moral education makes a man recog- nize his moral ohrgations, his own rights and the rights of others. Every crime committed can be traced to some violation of tho moral laws by somebody. Therefore, if we would fight crime and enjoy prosperity we must educate tho hearts of the citi- zens, for prosperity and crime cannot exist together. With the development of these three lines of education—Intellectual, industrial and moral—prosperity must come to the citizen, for prosperity has no prejudices, it does not ask the col- or or condition of the person seeking It. but upon those who have developed all the powers of mind, body and heart, given them by the Creator, upon those alone will it bestow its blessings.
