cdhtihucii from Fit“ Part
One reason for ad-
vocating state control of the schools.
Mr. Ssrtain said, was becauso he knew
of one school which advertised to teauh
telegraph and did not have a telegraph
instrument at all and there was none
nearer than the station, He believed
that the teachers in all commercial
schools should have had a commercial
training. Mr. Sartain also spoke
.gly in favor of cpsnpulsory educa1
tion in the public as sole He said
that it is surprising, the number of poo-
pic who come to him and who having
left the public schools cannot recite
their multiplication tables. if this is
the way the publli schools are run. it
would be better to cut out some of the.
dead wood and get rid of some of the
things which are taught which are not
aocoasary.and substitute somc things
which are not taught which are vital.
Mr. Saxlaln spoke in hum of a Town
lilgb School and said that if it was im-
possible to have one in the center of
the town that there ought to be one in
each end of the town. He believed
that it would be better for the business
colleges.
Brown's Business College has had
during the year, over 400 calls for office
help and has filled 279 positions. Mr.
Sartain then introduced Captain Frank
1). Layton. the chairman of the even-
ing. Mr. Layton, in ii bright. little
speech, assured the audience that ho
was going to be brief. Amid applause,
he introduced Harry Pepper. Mr. Pep-
per rendered “The Message." a very
pretty little selleclion. and was enthu-
siastically applauded. As an encore
he responded with "Lullaby." which
also pleased the audience greatly.
lion. S. C. Palmer was then intro-
duced to deliver the. address to the
rlnss.
Mr. Palmer spoke at length and his
address contained a great deal of im-
mense value to the members of the
class. He warned the graduates to
keep on the road to success. There is
only one road to success and on the oth—
er hand there are a million roads to
failure. All the roads which do not
lead to success are down hill roads
and load to failure. They are bad
roads, though motions of dollars are
spent in keeping them in repair.
Chairman Layton then, after an or
chcstral selection introduced the speak-
er of the evening. Hon. James R. Scou-
tou, LL. 8.. Wilkes Barre. i’ll.. whose
Ioplc was "Tilt1 Law of the Road head-
ing to Succcss.” The. address in full
follows:
To the Graduating (‘ilnss of llrown

men:

to be called to this state. with its on
Iicnl and far- finned institutions of

it class of young ladies and gentlemen.
who, a few years hence, will be. among
lhc principal actors on the world‘s
stage of human activity, and its chief
performers in its arena of business;
and on answering the call to be gruel-
od by so large an audience who are cvi1
dcutly deeply interested in the rcnovn-
lion. education and elevation of man
kind. From the. large number of bright,
Intelligent faces present. it must be
concluded that suggestions as to what
conduct will be attended with pleasuro
and happincss are unnecessary. for
abundant evidences of both are seen
on every hand.
if you thoroughly oomprclirnd and
fully understand all that is taught in
The Brown Business College you need
no additional information for you are
the best educated persons of this gun-
oration. Neverlhoicss. education is
not experience; you are as full of
knowledge as a rose is of sweetness,
but you lack one thing, that is the up-

or words, how to use the knowledge.
when you know how louse it you then
will be possessed of discernment. judg-
msni, discretion, sagncity and skill. and
all.of these combined is wisdom. and
wisdom simplified is the best means of
obtaining the best ends.

in this connection it might be well to
quote from Josh Billings: “A brokcn

are always looking for the rial-.li "

ly who turn off on this road or that
and without hcsltuncy disappear in the
distance fearing that you will be scoffed
for pondering and doubting you Will
feel like proceeding. right or wrong.
but remember my words. many of tlIOse
persons asslng are. fully acquainted
with the ocuiion of the road they seek,
having passed over it before; lliis may
be termed experience. Howrvcr, you
should rcinembcr that you are in a
strange country full of Iiilllllil‘kt'ti
roads. ciicinlcs and pitfalls; a failure
to condemn the wrong roadsor to avoid
the dangerous enemies may result in
your destruction in the pitfall, thcrc
low. it behooves you to examine the
by-places. scat-oh the hedges and see if
therein nuiy be found sumo ancient
board that has fallen from its position
which will furnish you the inforamtlon
you desire.
Another method of discovering the
road is to examine with care. the road
your conscience tells you is right and
then scrutinize cvcry branch as you
pass along. You will soon perceive
that the road leading in the direction
you wish to go is not much traveled.
for Iiii.1 great mass of the people. are
now and always have. been journeying
over roads that did not load to finan-
cial success. Statistics show that loss
than five per cent. of the people who
embark in business succeed, and up-
wards of nlIIcly-flvc per cent. fall.
(’incsc figures l prcsuinc do not in-
clinic the people who having failed
started anew and are succeeding) it
is plain. therefore. that if you journey
along the road to success you will not
be jostlcii or elbowcd much while. on
the way. for l bellevc that no two per-
sons travel exactly the same road.
The word success appears but once
in the Scripture; Joshua i. 8. and
there tlIc meaning appears to be "to
prosper and have good." This mean
ing agrees with that of the present day.
The next inquiry that presents itself
consists of several interrogatories: Is
this law of the road leading to success
in book form? It is not. Who pub-
lishes it? Every successful business
man on the earth. Where can it be
obtained? liy watching the move-
Incnts. conduct. and action of men who

Tile immortal George Washivglon
in his first inaugural address ‘ga i»
teIu‘nce to words that will ring down
through iill ages, when he said, "The
foundation of our national policy will
be laid in the sure and immutable prin~
clples of private morality. " it is also
said: ”That if individuals be not in-
fluenced by moral principles, it is vain
to look for public virtue. "
Another prominent writer once said:
What we are. sooner or later shows
itself in what we. seem " Our char-
acter unconsciousli'. yet irresistibly is
expressed in our looks, speech. actions
and- manner. and thus we are portray ed
to our fellow men.
Character is the register within you
which indelibly records upon your
mind and heart. your thoughts and
deeds. and vibrating unconsciously
within ennoble or debaee you. Char-
acter is not added to your life. but is
the essence of life ” it is not the crea-
tics of a moment, but the combined ac-
tions of a lifetime. We build it our-
selves ihough unconscious of its build-
ing. We add to it day by day by kind
acts and enobling thoughts.
There are two classes of character to
choose from. the one consists of im-
pure thought. selfish motives, stolen
pleasures. and that which your con-
science disapproves: while the other is
composedof honeaiy. morality, and
kindness of heart. , a,
