Education Is Best Gift Parents Can Give Children, March 5, 1925

If parents can make any better investment for their children than providing them with the means of getting an education, we do not know what it is. Sometimes people work hard and deny themselves all their lives in order to leave some property to their children. Then it happens all too frequently that these savings of a lifetime are lost in a few years after those who made them are gone. A good education is a thing that will last for a lifetime and is therefore a valuable possession. Its value can hardly be measured in dollars and cents.
