The battle of life is already half won by the young man who is brought in contact with high officials and the great aim of every boy should be to do something beyond the sphere of his duties- something which attracts the attention of those over him.

It was from my own early experience that I decided there was no use to which money could be applied so productive of good to girls and boys who have good within them and ability and ambition to develop it as the founding of a public library.
