A Fine Showing

Ilion High School is very proud, and with good reason, of the large number of graduates who are just now going to higher institutions of learning. Village schools are only preparatory schools; the best schooling must follow that the local schools do; the education must be gotten slowly, painfully and at great expense and loss in the hard school of experience, or lost forever, or gained in the college or technical school. Untrained, unskilled, uneducated men are at a discount everywhere. The training must be had; if not in the schools, then elsewhere at greater time, labor and expense; the man who never gets the higher training never gets above common labor.
