It is quite likely that many of you have made your competence and are not dependent upon the securing of more enterprises here. If such is the case, It is all the more your duty to bring to Rensselaer as many enterprises as possible because you should have enough consideration for the younger generation which must have the opportunity here or elsewhere to earn its competence, also, and because you are not making any personal sacrifices at all in giving your aid and making It possible for our bright young people to remain at home and be a credit to our community, instead of someone else’s. «You like to see your children prosper, and that at children, or if they are not at home now it is none the less your duty to manifest your regard for others and provide opportunities for the young people yet at hmoe. x The spirit that has made America what it is, the spirit that has made any city great, or that has made possible any great movement, is the spirit, “What can 1 do for others?” not “What good will it do me?” Our pages of history are full of accounts of sacrifices made by our great men and women and, better still, by our whole-hareted forefathers who braved the hardships of an unsettled country that they might earn a subslstance for themselves and make It easier for their children to earn their livings Their consideration for the future of their children to earn their living, their own welfare. Now, you, their children, who have prospered so greatly as a result of the sacrifices of your parents, don’t you feel that you should help your children so they can earn their living even easier than you did yours, so that their lives may be happier, especially as your helping them this way would not entail any hardships on your part? Our forefathers made sacrifices of which wj are proud to boast and which make it possible for us to live freer and broader lives. It would be our duty to make sacrifices as great as they did so that the upwar<b*march of the human race, as set by them, should be continued; but, as it is not necessary that we should make and sacrifices, it is discrediable to us if we do not continue to advance, which Is easy for us, but which was so Lard for our forefathers. You, who do not need to increase the opportunities of our town for your presonal benefit, join us, of the younger generation, who do, so that we can Improve the conditions of those who are to come after us. Be square with yourselves and with others, and it is not likely that you can conscientiously remain indifferent to the improvement of our city.
