Re studious, do not falter though sometimes you full behind, But puh ahead with vigor 'till you catch your second wind. If something wraii to go amiss Just lightly pass It by. Cut your acquaintance with "I can't" and cultivate "I'll try." And, although at times you're weary, keep on and you will find That keeping up Is easy when you get your second wind. Tbo path to Learning's temple Is all tho way uphill And, to the topmost height attain, requires a firm "1 will." Hard study, strict olwdlcnce, be courteous and refined, And steadily Jog along until you catch your second wind. Cultivate your every faculty! In knowledge there Is power. Lose not one preclousmomoiit, but Improve each pnsslng hour. No Htciis backward, always forward, keep this ever In your mind, And put. forth every cirort 'till you catch your second wind.

This year you aro laying the corner stone of your life's educational structure, and in tho erection of that temple you should see to It that nothing be left undone that would mar its utility In any particular, for It is to be a per manent building and cure should bo taken that nothing but the best mate rial should be used. Don't patch and bolster It up trying to present a pleasing exterior, or It will be liublo to collapse and leave nothing but a heap of ruins. But rather build It strongly and secure ly, llttlo by little, as tho coral insect builds its Islands. Do your work thor oughly and systematically. Every man Is the architect of his own fortune.
