  • I believe in the training of my HEAD for the power it will give me to think, plan and to reason.
  • I believe in the training of my HEART for the nobleness it will give me to be kind, sympathetic and true.
  • I believe in the training of my HANDS for the ability it will give me to be helpful, skillful, and useful.
