sailingI don't expect it； but； if I live； I'll do something to be proud
of；〃 said Ralph； squaring his shoulders as if to meet and conquer
all obstacles as he looked into the glowing west； was not fairer
than his ambitious dreams。
Here we will say good…by to these girls and boys of ours as they sit
together in the sunshine talking over a year that was to be for ever
memorable to them； not because of any very remarkable events；
but because they were just beginning to look about them as they
stepped out of childhood into youth； and some of the experiences
of the past months had set them to thinking； taught them to see the
use and beauty of the small duties； joys； and sorrows which make
up our lives； and inspired them to resolve that the coming year
should be braver and brighter than the last。
There are many such boys and girls； full of high hopes； lovely
possibilities； and earnest plans； pausing a moment before they
push their little boats from the safe shore。 Let those who launch
them see to it that they have good health to man the oars； good
education for ballast； and good principles as pilots to guide them
as they voyage down an ever…widening river to the sea。
