Woodward Spirit Promotive of Best Citizenship 1. HE inquiry is often made by persons referring . to one school or another: iiDoes it really pre- pare young men and women for the more serious aifairs of after life, or does it merely afford a superficial polish that may easily be rubbed away in the rush and strain of living? In other words, the questioner wishes to find out how the school endeavors to fit its students for the most use.- ful citizenship in community or nation. In applying the question to our institution, let us try to show that the various carefully selected courses will be productive of a firm, industrial and cultural foundation for work in the sundry occupations of the complex business world. Woodward wishes the public to understand that she essays a cultivating as well as a polishing process through which those taking her training must pass. We all know that her moral interests and purposes are of the highest and we feel that words concerning him, whose purposes she was given to promote, can not here come amiss. Not that it is necessary to substantiate our l'Grand Old Man in any way, but that we may for a moment recall to our hearts and minds the ideals and practical good accomplished by the generous gift of the founder. How near to his heart must have been the happiness and progress of those poor, untutored children for whom the school was originally established! We all under- stand in some degree the attitude of pure brotherly love which prompted such an action. Never robust in body, Mr. Woodward might have refused public trusts of any kind and no one could have rightly censured him; with him there was no shrinking from duty, no cowering before hardship, no hesitation in the doing of a generous deed. Coming to Cincinnati in 1791, when it was a small but already thriving village founded by hardy men from across the Appalachian Mountains, he set up his tannery and went to work. At the same time he entered into the real estate business, making money enough in this way to warrant his consummating plans for publicly aiding the poor children of Cincine nati. In the year 1826 he entrusted a tract of seven acres of land to his staunch and sound-minded friend, Samuel Lewis, and a nephew, Osmond Cegswell, who were to act as trustees of a fund for the support of a free grammar school to be erected thereon. Childless himself, he loved children and gave to their cause with all his generous heart. As one studies his life two principles stand forth quite distinctly-his faultless honesty and his thrift. They seem the main springs of all his actions, and make of an otherwise quiet and uneventful life an example worthy of imitation. Knowing these facts it is but logical and correct to conclude that the principles of such a man consistently illustrated by his life, would neces- sarily impress themselves upon our institution and through it upon all life given to it for development. Indeed, it is a recognized fact that our benefactorls ideals are the ideals of the great school he founded, and that training towards them will always be one of the leading forces in the work of the institution. There surely is great reason for rejoicing that the machinery of our institution e the instructors and the
