E-text prepared by Roger Frank and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) "Vesper Talks to Girls" by Laura A. Knott is a collection of motivational addresses written in the early 20th century. The work is intended for young women at Bradford Academy, delivering insights on personal growth, character development, and the challenges of life. The book draws from Knott's experiences as a principal and addresses themes such as the importance of friendships, the value of school spirit, and the necessity of enduring life's hardships. At the start of this collection, the author introduces the idea of "new starts in life," suggesting that every individual has opportunities for renewal and growth no matter their past mistakes. Knott emphasizes the importance of maintaining a positive outlook and seizing each moment as a chance to improve oneself. She encourages readers to let go of past failures and focus on personal development, highlighting the transformative potential that often accompanies significant life changes, such as starting at a new school. The opening sets an inspiring tone, inviting young women to embrace their challenges with optimism and courage as they navigate their formative years.
