One of the fust things a pcison must
know how to do in oi dn to walk on his feet
ndo a bicycle oi fly an an piano is to keep
his balance. A slight mtenuption oi km-
jwiiiiy loss may cause a seuous disaster and
even puiuanont liijuiy. At least it lvsulls
in an unpleasant situation

Anothii thing that i itelus most of us is
oiu method of studs ing Moie studying is

Thought is the essente of an act and the
hlrongtt clement of action een as steam

The ssns to keep oui country bound is to
keep the white light of publicity playing

But wo need to keep our consciences ahs'c
