a THE ROAD TO SUCCESS What is this so-called “road to suc- cess”? If you were asked that ques- tion today, what would you reply? Wealth and a high social position? No, you would answer without hesita- tion, ‘Education’. And it is true; in education lies the great highway to success and happiness. Many years ago education was con- sidered of little importance in this country. If a man had a roof over his head, and could gain a sufficient Viving for himself and his family, he had all that was necessary in those times. As time passed, however, the people of this country began to realize more and more the growing impor- tance of education; and in the years that followed, each generation has ad- vanced a little further in this field of knowledge than did the one before it. In the past century, science has pro- gvessed by leaps and bounds, and such men as Morse, Bell, Marconi and Edi- son, making use of their education, hard-won in most cases, have given to the world such important inventions as the telephone, telegraph, electricai appliances of all sorts, and even the radio. At the present day we have in this country of ours, a highly civilized Dl wor lAL 2. 2 ps — — aS class of Americans, advancing stead- ily in every branch of science, and learning. Foreigners, now from every nation, have come to recognize America as the land of golden oppor- tunities. What has brought about this great change in affairs? Cer- tainly it did not just happen that America has progressed so rapidly. The answer is here: education for all means advancement for all. Ignorance has caused the downfall of more nations and empires than any other case. Ignorance and illiteracy mean all manner of crime and destruc- tion; whereas knowledge and high education mean right, power, and prosperity. It is for the young peo- ple of the present generation to de- cide now whether America shall keep on steadily upward, or like Rome, fall never to vise. Education opens the door‘of opportunity to anyone and everyone who will turn the key. Will these young people realize this fact and make use.of their great chances, or will they allow this wonderful door to close before them? That is a question which is worthy of consider- ation by everyone today if he wishes America, the rarest gem in the crown of nations, to remain steadfast, strong, and upright.
