VERGISZ-MEIN-NICHT no matter how strongly financial gain in other pursuits may draw him. I am means self-reverence, and the self-reverencing person reveres all mankind, its best achievements, its best possibilities, its work, and its goal. To every boy and girl now in Randolph High School, and to all those that have passed from its portals, I would say, assert the I am, make the most of yourself and throw your whole force in the work of life with all of your heart and let it be your own very best self and your own very best work. SUSE!! Extract From the Address by Dr. Geo. Goodhue to Pupils 'of 1883 on the Value of an Education Grasshoppers may ruin wheat, drought may bring on famine, the hurricanes of Wiggins may devas- tate everything in its trackg but an education perishes only with death, nay, even then the lustre of its in- fiuence will shine farther and far- ther in ever broadening circles un- til the end of time. There is no in- vestment that pays so high divi- dends as money invested in obtain- ing an education. This world is a world of competition, it is a grand race course, and brains, combined with muscular strength, are the es- sential elements of victory. I would rather prefer to leave a boy with an education than to deliver into his hands the accumulated treasures of a lifetime. Education has more than pecuniary worth. It makes life worth living. It raises his thoughts above the plane of animal existence. When not en- gaged in the active business of life, he is seeking mental food, some- thing that shall ennoble him and make him more of a man. Do not pursue your studies sim- ply because some one wants you to, do it of your own free will, under- standing that your success or fail- ure in school affects yourself alone. The most important habit to ac- quire during your course of study is thoroughness -the habit of grasping the subject in hand with a determination to search it to its very foundations. The habit of close and searching thought is worth more than all the knowledge you will obtain during your school days. To get your minds well dis- ciplined should be the object of your study, the obtaining of facts is only of sebondary importance. Another habit which every pupil ought to acquire is to study with his whole mind. Aimless imagery unfits the mind to grapple with the hard realities of life. It is the thief of time and lessens mental vigor. Another grand thing for a student to acquire is confidence in his own power of reasoning. The ability to reason accurately and quickly is an essential element of success. Every step forward in the march of progress is due to independence L. A. ALBERT, NOTARY PUBLIC, Englewood, Ohio 31
