"An old lady of 70 presented herself one day as a mombcr of tho class, and to ray In-qnlry In-qnlry If she Intended 10 'rub up x I Greek,' sho replied, 'Hub up nothing. I don't know tho alphabet. But you said tho other day that Cnto learned t Greek nt SO. and what a man can do at SO, n woman certainly can do at 70.' And sho did." Thnt spirit of determination which never, falls to win success shows forth In every word ot her Virlcf reply, and one hardly cceds the' added statement that sho accomplished her purpoHO. Such peoplu aro the mainsprings of progress. |
