Mr. Ellis spent his boyhood in the valley of the Wood Fork of the Gasconade River, Where he learned from his preacher father to do the things that were right even if it took the hide off his back. Although Dr. Ellis holds several degrees and has attended some of the larger universities of the country, he has never lost his understanding of the Ways of the hill folk, and they have never lost their love for the hillbilly schoolmastezuey once knew.

S-D71 CRULJ Ellllia I l , ,- 'J - if J' Q-fl xx-Awfff the succession of lean years through which we have recently passed, all ff formulae for success seemed to fail, for the time at least. This situation served as a cue for caustic critics of our colleges. Like frogs in a bog, they made noise out of all proportion to their numbers. The rather nebulous inference from their negative arguments was that all a college graduate needed to do in order to achieve success was to tear up his diploma and endeavor to forget that he ever attended college. Such statistical studies as have been made seem to indicate quite conclusively that college training not only increases very materially one's chances of personal success in life but also stimulates one's sense of social welfare and social values. Moreover, these studies indicate a rather close correlation between success in college and success in later life. The individual who makes the honor roll in college is much more likely to achieve distinction in later life than is the student who makes only an average record. There doubtless are and always have been a few educated fools but there are far more uneducated fools. There is no harm in adding the incident of learning to the accident of brains. 0311:-:Lxiclent
