“What are, you going to do with your, Hife,” Miss Maria Sanford, for 50 years a teacher and college profes- sor, agked the students of. the Bis: marck, high school, in her address on Thursday afternoon. Miss Sanford made in Bismarck the closing address of her second tour of the present year —teurs which have taken her, a wom- an of 79, on @ strenuous round of daily lecture efgagements, extending far in- to Montana. In part, Miss Sanford said: “T want to ask you, students of the Bismarck high school, what are you worth? I don’t mean how good a house you live in, or how much moncy your father has, or how much money of your own you have in thebank (al- though I think it is a very fine thing for boys and girls to get the habit of laying up their dimes. and quarters). “7 have confidence in the young man or the young woman, who can pass a candy store, ice cream parlar or soda fountain with money of their own in their pockets, for it shows they have forethought .and self-control. But | when I asked, ‘What are you worth,’ I meant can you sce, can you hear, can you remember, can'you think?’ She then proceeded to illustrate her meaning by a few caseg, and went on 1 to say: \ lor What the World Wants. 181 “Now the world is just holding out} ty its hands. and begging for boys and | nd girls and men and women who can) ha gee, hear, remember and think. T It take it that’s what you are here at he} school for—to learn. You learn, of hit course, a great many things that you will not remember in later life. You all know that ‘there are things you learned’ in the ‘grades that you could not take an examination on now and pass, without ‘studying for it. But if you learnéd them well the principles will stay by you. “The world is testing you out—try- ing you out in many Ways. She then procéedéd: to “illustrate the demand and necessity for accuracy in the mod- ern business world of today. As Mr. Lowell has said, “Poor work ‘follows you, and just as surely, sin is always asking to be done again.” “By and by you will be wanting a place, ‘but don’t be-in a hurry about it—don’t be too eager to get to it. I seo boys that the dollar looks so big to that they quit school. They are cutting off their own tiodes, They are ruining their chances of success in lfe..- You can. exert your influence here—tell the boys ‘and ‘girls of the eighth grades how foolish it is to drop ‘ school—urge them to-go through the high school,-at least, and then go fur- ther, if{'they can. ~- Our Commencement.:' “We: call it ‘commencement,’ and so it .fs—commencement of a life of scholarship. You will come to your superintetident or principal ard ask him for a recommendation when you are ready to take your place, in the Pe world out there, and if you have been faithful,’ earnest’ ‘atid intelligent, he will-give. you 'a slip of paper and the reading ‘on it will be pleasant. It is valuable, but I want to tell you you tions—the most valuable one, most “accurate one that any one can write. The ‘things we do stamp us. tem i tool By an order issued by Secretary of torr ‘War Baker the relations between tne laois American Red Cross and the war de- partment have been clearly estab- “y lished.

It is the desire of the secre: tary of war, as it should be of all of- bs ficers of the army, to do everything possible for the comfort and welfare of the soldiers, and to make use of such agencies as are authorized and are in a position to contribute to that end, in addition to the: provis- ions .made.by the government.

You may do something wrong and may tHink nobody knows it, but your own eyes know it, your voice knows it, your legs know, it, and they can’t walk straight. When Opportunity Comes “When the opportunity comes there will be no time to prepare, and you want to always know. when the op- portunity comes, If you take care to do things right, your tools will be ready. “It is opportunity to be useful, op- portunity to do géod work. Only last week I learned of one of my former pupils, of an inventive turn of mind, working for the government on a lib- erty motor, at a salary of $2500 per| year. A firm in New York heard of) the excellent work he was doing and offered him $10,000. a year if he would come to them. ‘He sent back a tele- gram “I am of service to the govern- ment and am not willing to leave.” This is patriotism. The firm were so well pleased with the character shown in this reply that they wired back “We will hold the place open for you; until the end of the war.” Crippling Habits “Don't cripple yourselves. ‘Now if you say a boy who accidentally had his right hand cut off you would feel very sorry for him, but if you saw this boy monkeying with a machine with which he knew nothing, and risk- ing his right hand, and finally losing it you would say he was-very foolish. Now I say, boys and girls, don’t crip- ple yourselves, I see'girls munching fudge all day long, dancing until 2 o'clock ‘and then trying to study the next day, etc. and bye aud bye when they gét to'bo 25 years old thelr stom- ache bothers them, their faces are Jone, and they have crippled them- selves. ‘ “I see boys crippling themselves forming those habits which pre- vent their success later in life. Here she cited a particular case of the evils ‘of the cigarette habit—how it dulls the intelléct,- and prevents clear thinking condusive to advance- ment in later life. | “When David sent his son Solomon ‘out into the world he said “My son, be strong and show thyself a man.” “I say to you: “Be strong and show thyself a man.” 3 “Be strong and show thyself a wom-) an.” then you may hope for success- ful life. She then added a few words as to the necessity of both boys and girls cultivating a pleasing voice—not a rasping voice, or. an indistinct mur- muring jumble of words, but to speak | clearly ancy distinctly, not harshly but softly. | She closed with two poems which showed remarkable flexibility of her voice, and the marvelous control she exercises over it; her final admoni- tion being “Nothing can conquer. the heroic, “I Will.” manding officer. 4.
