An Early American Design HBe sure you learn something every day. If you stop learning, your minds Will pine and fam- ish too. You all desire that your bodies should thrive and grow. But if you do not feed your minds as well as your bodies, they will stop growing; and one of the poorest, meanest, grid most despicable things I have ever seen is o little mind in CI great body. The creation is Ct museum, c111 crowded with won- ders. One door only is open, by Which you can enter this temple. It is the door of knowledge. Horace Mann. i26i
