LINCOLN’S EARLY LIFE
As time goes by the name of Abraham Lincoln
shines ever brighter on history’s scroll. That name,
which all the world is honoring today, is perpetuated
in the great Lincoln Memorial in Washington, the most
massive and beautiful structure yet erected to any
American. But is is in the hearts of his countrymen
that his greatness is most imperishably recorded.
Born in a Kentucky log cabin 122 years ago today,
Lincoln’s boyhood was most, unpromising. His father
could hardly write his name. Abraham’s own schooling
did not amount to a full year. He wielded an axe in
clearing the forest from the age of eight; his mother
died when he was nine. In his tenth year he was kicked
by a horse and for a time was thought to have been
killed.
At the age of 12 Lincoln was employed at $12 a
month; at 23 he served for a short time as captain of a
volunteer company in the Black Hawk Indian war, and
upon returning ran for the legislature but was defeat
ed. Then he and a partner bought a second-hand stock
of goods on credit and failed. He then was without
money or occupation until he got work assisting the
county surveyor, which, he said, “procured bread and
kept soul and body together.”
About this time he studied English grammar un
aided ,and in 1834, wdien he was 25, he again ran for
the legislature, and was elected. Then he studied law
entirely without assistance and was licensed to prac
tice two years, later.
Lincoln recognized his need of education and dili
gently devoted his spare time to acquiring it. He stud
ied and mastered six books of Euclid after he had been
elected to Congress. He lost no opportunity for self
improvement.
Thus, in spite of early handicaps, he prepared him
self for his great destiny.
>:■ 4: V *
A little awkward and a little rough,
Yet fit to walk with commoners or kings.
A heart that leapt at homely, simple things
And yet a spirit made of sterner stuff,
Wistful and fond, yet adequate and strong
To bear the burdens which grim fortune brings;
A high imagination on whose wings
He soared beyond the passions of the throng.
He was the very soul, the sublimation
Of that America he died to save.
In him we read the genius of a nation,
Stalwart and tender, humorous and grave,
By fate unmoved, by love and pity swayed,
Masterful, whimsical—and unafraid!
• —Bertorf Braley in the Washnigton Post.

BY SCHOOL eon;
| After an inspection of the Sew- I
| ard school building by School j
i Board members, the board is j
: prompted to solicit the coopera- ■
tion of parents in making every1
effort to keep the school building
in first-class condition.
This cannot be done without j
the cooperation and assistance |
' of the parents. The board re-1
j quests parents to assist them ;
j in eliminating the lack of con
sideration on the part of child
ren concerning the property of j
tax payers. The school building j
cost in excess of $50,000 and that
sum of money expended for the j
public’s good, should command
| the respect of the pupils who are
benefiting directly by the expen- !
diture.
“We are insisting,” stated W. C. j \
Erwin, president of the board, \
“that no pupil be permitted in- ■ j
side the building, with ice creep- j ]
ers attached to their shoes, nor I \
will any pupil be permitted in 1 |
the school building that has pro- j \
truding nails or hobnails in their j i
shoes; such nails scratch the j j
floor beyond repair, and cannot j 5
be allowed. Any pupil that breaks | \
a window^, deliberately scratches | \
the desks will be required to re- ! \
place same or pay for such dam- j j
age. The coat hooks that are! ♦:
broken and pulled from their
place in the boys coat room,
must be replaced by the boys
themselves, as it must have been
done deliberately, and such acts
cannot be permitted. Any cases
of disregarding any of the above
reasonable requests, will be cause
for dismissal from school by the
School Board.
The School Board hopes, by j
bringing to the attention of the j
parents, the lack of consideration j
of school property by school chil- !
dren and that the parents will ;1
make it their business to instruct 11
their children concerning proper
respect and care of their school
; building.”
