I Darrow Relates Story Of Life Says He Won Fame And Riches Despite Dislike Of Work; Great Poker Player Cleveland, (IP)?Fame and fortune came to him in spite of an abhorrence of work, through forces all beyond his own control in everything from eugencis to politics, Clarence Darrow said here on the eve of the publication of his biography. "I never was ambitious to work, I except to play baseball early in life and poker later," he said. "Work never appealed to me, but some time I had to work. Whatever work I did I just couldn't help. "If my brother hadn't a shop next to the village tinner's and the tinner hadn't happened to be a justice of the peace, I probably wouldn't be a lawyer now," said Darrow hearkening back to the days at his birthplace in Kinsman, O., when his parents took him out of school, which he liked because "everything came so easy," and sent him to work on a farm.

Journal Quotes Prof. Stoddard Organ Of National F.ducation Groups Prints Part Of Professor's Talk Dr. J. A. Stoddard, professor of education, is quoted from a speech made at the Washington Educational convention in February in the April issue of the Journal of the National Education association. "Unless educators furnish leadership in the present crisis it will come from the wrong source and will lead in the wrong direction. TJic demands for disastrous retrenchment at the expense of education do not come from the great mass of informed people. They come, generally, from self-seeking politicians, demagogues the privileged few whose large incomes are temporarily reduced, and from those who are either ignorant or deceived," the Journal quotes Dr. Stoddard as saying.

R. (CONTINUED FROM PAGE TWO) CAMPUS PROBLEMS The last morning period is for help on the problems, projects, and preoccupations of the campus. Local and traveling secretaries of the student Y. M. C. A., and other leaders will share their best experience with those who are trying to familiarize themselves with the genius and technique of this great instrument of Christian engineering. Parallel with these groups, will meet the group of those especially interested in the fraternities, their cooperation, and their contribution to student life. ATHLETICS Following dinner, the afternoon is left open, with the majority of the delegates participating in the various inter-delegation athletic contents. Nature study, sight seeing, hiking, and reading are also optional to the individual delegate. Help will be provided for those who want to go further with the study of their association problems. Immediately after supper a good many of the delegates assemble around the piano in the lobby of Ro! ert E. Lee hall for singing, while others stroll around the grounds getting acquainted. This free period is followed by the conference vespers, a service of worship which rests one, helps to assimilate what he has heard, and prepares him for broader vision, deeper insight, and greater effort. MAIN ADDRESS At S o'clock comes an address before the entire conference by one of the specially invited conference leaders which to many is the climax of the day's program. Probably all of these evening speakers will be men who have been used most effectively with students in other countries. Following the address, time is reserved for delegation meetings, usually by colleges; but sometimes by states or otherwise, when the.thoughts and events of the day arc examined for their bearing on individual and campus life. Then comes a glorious hour before bedtime, with nothing "organized." This hour on the grounds or among the hills may be the best of all. U. s. o.
