Celebrate 175 Days

"Thank God, and thank the fathers of the republic who made, and the men who carried out, the promises of the Declaration, that in this country there are no classes with fixed and impassable barriers. Here, in our society, permeated with the light of American freedom, there is no American boy, however poor, however humble, orphan though he may be, who, if he has a clear mind, a true heart, a strong arm, cannot rise through all the grades of society, and become the crown, the glory, the pillar of the state."
