now, if they were just. To make men and women 

 master of conditions. This by giving each one reserve 

 force. 



1. Thrift ; a virtue; may not always be such, but 

 will be for our day, and till Anglo-Saxon race is for- 

 gotten. 



2. Skill. 



3. Intelligence. 



4. Character. 



5. Reputation. 



6. Love. 



7. Family ties. 



Men without reserve unwise and would be ground 

 into dust even in Utopia. Unskilled laborer. Not do 

 more than bucket of coal and bucket of water. Scarcely 

 more effective than these. 



A nation can be made up only of men and women 

 who have something to lose by waste, lawlessness, op- 

 pression. Such as these cannot be oppressed. 



Of all reforms, the real one is reform in schools. 

 To meet every real need of people and to give every 

 child a reserve force to hold place in the world. To 

 every one without it a place should be given where 

 his race can become extinct with least possible suf- 

 fering. 



" My will fulfilled shall be 

 In daylight or in dark. 

 My thunderbolt has eyes to see 



Its way home to the mark." Emerson.
