OBITUARY Of LENOA HUGULEY W e quote the following obituary f r o m the columns of the "Review." Miss Huguley attended Union during the year 1917-18 and the Nebraska University the following year. of God, and a blessing to society. Let your standard be high, and with indomitable energy, make the most of your talents and opportunities, and press to the mark. The true object of education should be carefully considered. God has entrusted to each one capacities and powers, that they may be returned to him enlarged and improved. All his g i f t s are granted to us to be used to the utmost. He requires every one of us to cultivate our powers, and attain the highest possible capacity f o r usefulness, that we may do noble work for God and bless humanity. I am glad that we have institutions where our youth can be separated from the corrupting influences so prevalent in the schools of the present day. Our brethren and sisters should be thankful that in the providence of God our colleges have been established, and should stand ready to sustain them by their means. Every influence should be brought to bear to educate the youth and to elevate their morals. They should be trained to have moral courage to resist the tide of moral pollution in this degenerate age. W i t h a firm hold upon divine power, they may stand in society to mold and fashion, rather than to be fashioned after the world's model.—From an address by Mrs. E. G. White before teachers and students of Battle Creek College at the time of the General Conference in 1883. Go to College If You Can Yale, Harvard, Princeton—a score of other colleges—disturbed by the enormous increase in applications f o r admission have adopted "selective" methods to exclude those they believe would not benefit either themselves or the school, and to secure the most desirable men and women. Their methods of deciding who is and who is not fitted f o r college education vary. They have psychological, intelligence, social, and even financial tests to decide which students shall be admitted; and because of the immense increase in number of those who want or think they want, a college education, they are in a position to pick and choose. If their various tests show a boy to be mentally unfit, or that he wants to go to college with no object beyond spending four years in what he regards as a glorified country club, they are saving time f o r him and f o r themselves. As a general thing, however, an earnest, sincere desire f o r an education is the best test f o r fitness. It seems to us that the boy and his parents ought to decide the question of whether or nofc he should attend college. They know probably better than the psychological experts, what motives impel him and whether or not he should spend four more years in school. W e believe every boy should go to college—if hfs circumstances permit. He should go as a purely commercial proposition, if for no other reason, since nothing pays so large financial returns as does education. The average college man earns $150,000 during his lifetime of work. The boy with the high-school education earns $78,000. The untrained boy of the grammar schools earns $45,000. And the shop-trained boy who has not finished the grade schools sinks below $25,000. The untrained worker, starting at fourteen years, earns less than $2,000 during the years he should be in high school. He reaches his peak earning of $2,200 a year at the age of thirty, holds the level till fifty, and then gradually loses his earning power. The high-school boy, starting at eighteen, passes the untrained boy in earnings before he is twenty-two, reaches his peak ($4,000 a year) when he is forty, and holds that level till sixty. The college man, starting at twenty-two, earns $1,000 a year at the start, and gradually increases his earnings up to the age of sixty, averaging about $6,000 a year. In value to the nation and to the community, college training shows even larger returns. More than 60 per cent of those whose names are in Who's Who have had college training. This is not an exact estimate, but it is a fair one, since Who's Who is a tolerably good index of success. The chance of the average man to get into Who's Who is one in 12,000. The college man has a one-in-seventeen chance to get his name Into that record, while his chance is one in six if he wins the Phi Beta Kappa key f o r scholarship. Virtually all members of the United States Supreme Court have been college men. .Nineteen of our presidents have been college men, and eleven were not, although four of those eleven studied law, which is the equivalent to a college course. Ten of the presidents have worn the Phi Beta Kappa key. When less than 4 per cent of the population supplies that proportion of men to the highest o f fices, the value o f education in achieving eminence is plain. We believe every boy whose ambition leads him upward in education, and is willing to work and sacrifice to attain his ambition, should have his chance to get a college education. We are in sympathy with the effort of college leaders to secure a better type of students, but we \vould amend their scheme by making it: More and better students.—Yale. Miss Lenoa Wilibel Huguley, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William J. Huguley, was born in Piano, Tex., Nov. 28, 1895; and died July 2, 1927. At the age o f twelve she first gave her heart to God. Her loving parents spared nothing in order that she might be given a Christian education, which gratifyingly rewarded them in her devotion to her Master. She was graduated in 1913 and 1915 from the Southwestern Junior College, near Cleburne, Tex.

Millionaires' Children Mr. Carnegie, who is on record as having written that the time would come when it would be considered a disgrace f o r a man to die rich, at a recent public dinner made another very striking statement which follows the same line of reasoning. He said he "pitied the sons of millionaires." They began life handicapped. They had usually little or no incentive to the effort and struggle that make for the development of character, and which produce the finest ,type of strong, able, virile manhood. With rare exceptions, such lives accomplish little; while those who have come up through the valley of toil and poverty and whose education has been received in the College of Hard Knocks, make the best men, the finesttype of citizen, the most representative Americans. A few years ago, the two sons of a Western millionaire were oh the platform at a meeting of workingmen. One of them made an address in which he said substantially: "I envy yeu, men, the training and development that have come to you through your own efforts. My brother and I were provided f o r from our cradle up. We were not allowed to study as hard at school as other boys. W e were kept f r o m playing with other boys of our age. We could not go out without an attendant. Our parents, through mistaken kind-' ness, made life meaningless and monotonous f o r us by depriving us of the joy of the struggle, the delight of achievement. All inducement to effort was taken from us. Wow, as young men, wo find ourselves without an aim in life. We have nothing to do, nothing to strive for, because everything has been done f o r us." It is true, the fault in this case was that of the parents. It might have.been different, had wisdom directed the training of their children. But it conveys a warning to many who are disposed to do just what this father and mother did, who erred in trying to make life too easy f o r their sons, instead of teaching them how to fighl the battle f o r themselves. We need more of the old Spartan idea in the training of our youth.-—Selected. HJi SAWJKJ) WOOI) Once there were seven sawyers, and each had a cord of wood to saw. Said the first sawyer: "This wood is green, and the saw sticks in it. I will go away and wait till it gets dry." He did so. Said the second sawyer: "This saw is dull, and I can never saw a cord of wood with it. I will tell the master to have it sharpened, and then I will saw the wood f o r him." He did so. Said the third sawyer: 'This wood is knotty, and will be very hard to saw. I will ask the master to change it f o r straight wood, which 1 will t'ladly saw f o r him." He did so. Said the fourth sawyer: "This wood is hickory, which is twice as hard to saw as oak. I will ask the master to swap it f o r a cord of oak, and then I will saw it f o r him." He did so. Said the fifth sawyer: " I t is very hot today. I will wait till it gets cooler." He did so. Said the sixth sawyer: "I have a headache, and will wait till I feel well." He did so. The seventh sawyer had green wood, and knotty wood, and it was hickory. He also had a dull saw, and a headache. The day was hot f o r him, too. But he sharpened the saw and set it, so that it flew through the knotty hickory, and did not stick at all. The exercise drove away his headache, and the perspiration cooled him off. At the end of the day the master gave him the six other cords of wood to saw.—AEsop Jones. FACULTY HAS CHANGES [Continued f r o m page 1 ] tory of music of the Colorado agricultural college.

The self-pitiers invite every variety of spiritual microbe to come in and breed. They are the clouds, mud, and slush of mankind. They are rarely efficient. No man that hasn't enough egotism to admire himself a bit ever amounts to much. John H. Schilling A rrives On September 7 a seven-pound baby boy arrived at the home of Professor and Mrs. H. K.

Bad as egotism is, it is infinitely better than self-contempt. The self-pitiers are hard to love, trying to live with, and impossible to please. They cannot enjoy riches, nor appreciate poverty. Self-Pity think they are worse. They are gloom spreaders and heart depressants. Self-pity is the most exquisite form of selfishness, the camouflage of impotence, the acme of disagreeableness. Self-pity requires no brains, no capacity, no worth. It is sheer and utter no-accountness. If you pity yourself, you are hypnotized by yourself. Come out of it! No self-pitying troops ever won a battle; no self-pitying clerk ever rose to be general manager; no self-pitying merchant ever made his business thrive; no self-pitying woman ever retained her husband's love; and no selfpitying human being was ever a help to another human being. Self -pity is the collapse of all the faculties; it is cowardly surrender in the face of the enemy. Don't complain! Keep your chin up! The courageous soul, in no matter what condition,, is a point of cheer, a lamp of brightness, a tonic draught, to his fellow men.
