TWELVE CBoard of Education Daniel Webster said, Knowledge does not compromise all that is contained in the large term of Education? Education of every kind has two values-value of knowledge and Value of discipline, and they cannot be acquired without pains and application. The chief properties of wisdom are to be mindful of things past, careful for things present and provident for things to come. We wish to express our thanks to these men for the interest they take in our school, upholding its standards from year to year.
