NAMES MENTIONED FOR ERSKINE HEAD Alumni and friends of Erskine i College are much interested in the ; selection of a successor to Dr. J. S. j Moffatt who was elected president emeritus at the meeting of the board of trustees at commencement. Dr. < Moffatt has since declined to accept i the office of president emeritus. According to the following from the < Charlotte Observer, a Charlotte man is being mentioned for the position: i Rev. Dr. Ernest Orr, native of Mecklenburg county and son of Dr. and Mrs. W. W.

Bush is the man who i found a wilderness in New York har-1 * ? I H>or and built there the largest ship terminal in the world. He is America's greatest genius of distribution. And it is as important to move things as to /make thorn. He created the Nash terminal. which covers 200 acres, and can ac-! commodate 27 steamship lines. He did'for live people in America what the pyramid builders did for aeaa people in ^gypi. In a recent issue of the American Legion Weekly he contributes an article which contains a deal of sound sense. Here are a few of his ideas, which, as you might suppose, are worth thinking on. I have taken! the liberty of condensing. The way to get at the top, he writes, is to begin by being the best man at the bottom. These are hard times, but young men now beginning business are lucky, for a career founded in such times will probably have firmer foundations than a career begun in times of extravagance. The success of America as a nation is not an accident. It has come because our forefathers took off their coats and worked. (Prom this we might coin an excellent epigram: "Accidents do not happen/') Two things determine success, the right policy and hard work. r In England the labor union leaders have adopted the policy of limited production. Often a workman is allowed to do only a certain amount of work each day. That is based on the theory that the less the workers do the more jobs there will be. I IHL.V . .1* Ml II J.* .1 ? ! mis poncy wiw speu national disaster and a low level of wages. No nation can regulate its own I wages. They will be (brought down to the level of the wages of those nations with whom it competes, unless it protects its own markets. The buying power of the world can be increased in only two ways. One, toy inflation of the currency, printing more money, which always brings on collapse. The other by increasing production. If I were a young man today I j would go into the country and en-j gage in farming or In some business closely related to agriculture. The attractions of the city are great, but on the whole those of the coun-! try are greater, considering health. comfort and freedom from social dis- J aster. Good times on the farm are as good as anywhere else, and bad, times are lesi (burdensome. Every once in a while I get all puffed up with world ideals, but af-, ter a mental spree I come back to j the realization that I can serve the world best by doing my own little job well. JUNIOR JUDGING CONTEsH^ ' Clemson ^College, June 21.?-The < annual live stock j-udging contest i among the animal husbandry section of the Junior class of Clemson Col- ; lege was held here May 30 and : was won <by H.

In Buenos Aires they go about art education in quite another manner. It is thought that paintings, whatever .else they may be created for, J are often meant to be sold.' Who I buys pictures?children? No, Well | to do and grown up people buy pic- | tures. These are the ones who need j art education ad propulsion. So at | intervals men are drawn from their J various occupations, whether they j be bankers, butter and egg mer- I chants, liver pad agents or what not, I somewhat as we draw grand juries, i These groups appear a? the National J Museum of Art ad are shown shoals J of paintings. They are lectured and J cajoled, and before their term of j art tuition expires they are given a I catalogue of some 2,000 books on art I and on aesthetics which they are to i look over before they are next called | I upon. Buying of pictures can only excuse one for aJbsence of these seances. Many pictures are sold in Buenos Aires. .
