We have assembled in this beautiful auditorum on a most auspicious occasion. It Is indeed an elevating moment when men, women and children lay aside their daily task and assemble to do henor to a noble service, when mater ialism, work and money are forgotten and people come together with their minds concentrated on the great ser vice of education. Twenty years ago when I walked Into the spacious oak grove which surrounds this-school, a bare-foot boy, breaking the ground of education tor the first tithe, little did I dream that the high honor of mak ing the dedicating address of this splendid building would be bestowed upon me. l am deeply appreciative, and my heart fills with tender Senti ment as I look back thru the years of happy boyhood spent under the guid ing hand and master mind of our own beloved superintendent, Hon. William R. Mills. How happy we are to possess this great new building and the equipment that it contains. As I look about this audience. I know that many of you have suffered and sacrificed that your little ones might enjoy the blessings of an education which possibly were denied to you, that your boy and your girl and your neighbor's boy and girl might have the chance of equipping themselves with the priceless treas ure of an education. It hurt at times, I know, but no good thing la ever at tained without sacrifice and suffering. And after all, my friends, what more priceless treasure can wf lqave to our children than the gift of education, the trained mind, the better understanding of God's great Idea of creation and life, and the better chance to go thru life's perilous journey, honest, kind, charl trble, noble and clean. Many of us are so swept away la the creeping *? *?J-11 aralysls of a coming materialism, lat we have not pondered over these 111 uaiv ?? - _ ner things in life. Let ae tor a few lOments today forget the things ma irlal, forget the lure of gold, forget uslness and glance at the real aide of use.? What Is educationT The uneducat ed will tell you that It la book learn ing. That it Is teaching the child a conglomeration of facta that do him little good In the coming yeara of Ufa. God pity this ignorance, being uned ucated they cannot understand. This It not a true definition or the true pur pose of education. Education le the developing of the natural resources of man-kind. It Is the training of the human mind, the developing of manfs power to think and reason, to better understand his relationship with God and his lellow man. And hand In hand with education comes the finer things m life, patience, that wonder-! ful trait that we all so desire to at tain, reason, which makes u? broad minded, courtesy, a high regard fori the views of others, charity, the de-I sire to help our fellow-man, and oon-i tclousness, the realisation our respon sibility for our actions and the *-*'?t of our neighbor*.
