TO MY STUDENT FRIENDS

To the young Americans, by birth and by adoption, who cannot carry their studies beyond the grammar and high schools, who love their country and are true to its flag, and who desire to enter upon the duties of life with an intelligent understanding of their responsibilities to nation, state, and locality, this edition is dedicated, with the hope that in a measure it will pay something on the debt which the author feels he owes the boys and girls of our public schools who have worked with him these many years.
