IN ONE SYLLABLE.
A REMARKABLE ADDRESS TO AN
INDIANA SCHOOL.
The President of Fort Wayne's Board
of Trustees Shows thee Strugth which
Lies In Short Words,
The strength which lias in words of one
syllable has been often demonstarted, and
no doubt the simple directness of this
address delivered to a graduating class
ut Fort Wayne impressed itself on the
minds of the listeners with a force that
made them remember it, says the Chicago
Tribune. The president of the board of
trustecs was Mr. A. P. Edgerton, after
wards national civil service commis
sioner, and his advice, given eleven years
ago, is still worth preserving, The
greater part is here quoted ;
“This day we close for the year the
Fort Wayne free schools, and we now
part with you, the girls and boys we ar
no more to teach.
“I say giris and boys, for when three-
score and ten years have come to you
you will be glad to have your friends say
that health and peace of mind have kept
your heart warm; that you wear no brow
of gloom; are not borne down with age,
but still, tn heart, are ‘girls and boys.’
When these years come, and I hope they
will come to all, the tide of time will fall
back and tell you of your school-time
days, when the fair, the Kind, and the
true found love, but the false heart found
no friends, no tongues to praise. These
days bring rich gifts to age, and when
you shall cease to think of them you
tire has burnt low, and your light has
gone out. You have been here taught i
the hope that the free schools of Fort
Wayne would help to make you of use t«
your friends and to the world; wouls
give you faith in all that is good and
rue, and lead you to seek work: for this
you must seek and do if you would have
a good name, wealth, a home, a charge
to keep, or a trust to serve. Go forth
with a bold, true heart to seek the work
for you to do.
**Keep in mind that the hours of work
run through each day, and that God's
great law of life is: ‘In the sweat of
thy face shalt thou eat thy bread.’
*“‘Now for you, young men, this truth
is told.
**Go where you will through the
world, aud you will find on the front
door of shops and mills, of stores and
banks, and on ships, on farms, on roads,
in deep mines where men toil for wealth:
where laws are made that make some
men too rich, and men of worth and
work through all our land too poor;
where men by law are taught to plot
with sin, to spurn the right, that charge
and cost and spoil may make old ‘Quirks’ |
law firms rich; where the law is so plead |
that the judge must guess to find what's |

where types are set, and mind |

pray, and where schools are aught this |
sign: ‘Brains Will Fiad Work Here’
“Don’t fear. Step up and ask for
work; brains will get it. Don’t let ‘I
dare not wait on [I would’—like the cat |
that loves fish, but dare not wet her |
feet.
“If it be said ‘What can you dnt?
Will sou learn a trade! say ‘I have!
none, but I can learn one and put brains |
in it." When you go to a place where
brains should hont for work and will Le
aure to find it, it may be said toy
‘Do you see that plow?! Can you held |

wise use gives all men food,
“*Do you see that wheel snd that crani

you hear the rush and hiss of the steam
which moves them! can you make and |
bold and run them! ean you build and |
drive the works and wheels which make
the wealth of the earth and cause it to
roll and to float to and fro from place to
place where it is best for man to use it?
“*Can you spiu the thread and weave
it, which makes ropes for kings and silks
for the rich and vain, and dress for the
poor, snd alli that skill and art have
wrought by loom and hand for man's
use!”
‘“Toese things are all shot through
with threads of light—the light of mind |
and art and skill which shines zach day |
more bright and dims all the old by
some new found light, as the ye rs go
on.
“‘If you say that you do not know how
to do all this work, but will try to learn
somes of it and do it well, then will be
said to you, ‘Can you aad will you work?
and will you spesk the truth, and in all
things strive to do no maa wrong? If
you say * Yes,' then all the doors where
man's good aud great work is done will
swing for you to pass you in to do your
part; and thus you will see how God
rules in all His ways, in man's good
works and deeds. Home may hope for
fame, but if they doubt that God rules,
bave not trust and faith, they well may
fear their fate. New books, not old
coins, keep charge of fame. Look well
to books, for through them the world's
best thoughts and deeds now speak.

“What should you bring to a good

“It is not a curl, nor a bang, nor a
