HONOR I would not teach that boy of mine That only victory is fine, Nor preach material success To him as glorious, unless He gains it with his head erect, His honor, and his 3elf -respect. I first would have him learn that he Of self must always victor be, That failure's not a thing of fear, If he retains a conscience clear; That there's more joy in grim defeat, Than victory that marks a cheat. I want to teach my boy to choose The path of honor though he lose; 1 d ratner he'd come home at night And say to me: "I lost the fight, Ellt I Stood Ut ad 1f it. o-n nd never struck one unfair blow."

A large, attentive and interested crowd heard Mr. Polk. Following the address a contribution was taken for the Red Cross, and $33.10 was liberal ly donated by those present.
