Fulltext: MARCH, 1941 THE YOUNG CITIZEN A POEM FOR THIS MONTH THERE'S ROOM AT THE TOP By LILLA . T. ELDER THE HILL of success may be steep, boys, And hard work it may be to climb, But the way grows smooth toward the top, boys, And it's .only one step at a I time. · Be sure you are honestly shod, boys; . ~--rake the staff of Self-Help ~ in your hand; ~; Wat~h out for the rough, ] rocky road, boys, ~ ~ And trust not to gravel or , sand. ~ Respect well the right of the road, boys; . L..et others more swift pass you by; And fail not to hold out a hand, boys, To all those who stumble and sigh. There's plenty of room at the top, boys, Though crowded the pathway and long; And no one need fail in the end, boys, If he's honest, and patient, and strong.
