I read with special interest about the difficulty in Voorhees It so happens that while was Director General in Peru , had under my complete author ity forty nine colleges and a supervisor control over abou' 7f> private colleges, that is t< say institutions not wholly fin anced by the government In addition to that more than a thousand public schools, al though they were almost wholly financed by the government. I appointed all the professors as well as all teachers of the com mon schools Most of the population was native Peruvians, with a heavy mixture of Indians. Japanese, etc In some of the private col leges there was a strain of white blood, such as Spanish, Italian, German, etc. All the private colleges were under my control so far as ex aminations, and I personally helped with the examinations at the Catholic Cniversity of Lima and the College conducted by the Mothers of San Pedro, a Catholic College for women.

On several occasions students in government colleges were for several days somewhat rebel lious against the professors. In every such case I ordered, by telegraph, the cancellations of their matriculation and order was quickly restored. I cannot help but wonder whe ther my plan would have restor ed order at Voorhees. Discipline is not strictly ob served in this day and time, for we have outbursts in sorm of our common schools. Natur ally I, as a former teacher a. The Citadel, cannot regard light ly laxity in any school auth ority. As I said above, disorder has he ■•■me common in some of our co'h ges and universities and as i see it the great need is a firm grip by the authorities. Do you know something of the c ity of Edgefield? EJgeheld coun.y has produc ed many notable men, espec- iciiy in public life. You will re number Senator B. R. Tillman and his brother George, but not many millionaires. I was honor ed wath the special friendship of one native son of Edgefield who rose from the days of privacy and hard work to be come a multi-millionaire in Greenwood—James C. Self, son of a country doctor, in Edge- field County. His close friend ship with me I think grew out of the fact that I had taugh in old Edgefield.

For more infm mauon, write him at Box 1368, Tupelo, Miss. 38801) THE PACK IS STACKED AGAINST LITTLE JOHNNY (Copyright, 1970, Donald E. Wildmon) I saw a tragedy last Sunday mor ning. I hope I see it again next Sun day morning. For I would rather see the tragedy I saw than a greater one 1 fear will eventually occur. I will call him Johnny. That’s not his name, but for our purpose that’s what I will call him. Johnny is in elementary school. He is in his formative years. And Johnny is the tragedy—or miracle as it may turn out to be. Came By Himself You see, Johnny came to Sunday School and worsnip by himself last week. He’s been doing it for some time now. Sometimes Johnny will ride with a neighbor to the church, sometimes when the weather is fair he will walk. Sometimes a member of his family will bring Johnny to the church and drop him off. What’s the tragedy I saw? Just that. Someone in Johnny’s family bringing Johnny, dropping him off to go by himself. Johnny’s father and mother have something else to do, more im- portant. And so Johnny managed to get to the place that w 7 ould give him some direction in life all by himself. The story is repeated often in our society. However, I’m afraid it doesn’t happen enough. For most Johnnys never manage to get to Sunday School and worship. They simply find more important things to do like the rest of the family. How long little Johnny will continue to see to it that he gets himself to a place that can give him moral and spiritual instruction and guidance I don’t know. I hope he will find streng th in himself to continue the habit. But I’m afraid that one day Johnny will find it easier to sleep. Or one Sun day the family will make some plans that will require Johnny to be away, and that will be followed by another, Sunday with some more plans, and another, and another. Chances Slim I guess what I’m really saying is that the pack is stacked against John ny. The chances of his continuing his present habits are small. The odds against him are too heavy. Johnny will find, further dowm the road, that his visits to the House of God will have to cease. The family has other things to do, more important. Johnny isn’t a poor boy. His family is one of means. They have what most families long for—two cars, a fine home, modern conveniences, the w r orks. Now they are not millionaires, but they are well over the poverty line, material ly. And that’s the tragedy. Johnny’s family gives him everything he needs, except what he needs the most. And I guess, if you asked them, Johnny’s family would say they love him. Cer tainly there would be an emptiness in their home should Johnnv suddenlv die. But like I said, Johnny’s chances are slim. There’s just too much going against him. There’s always that slight hope for a miracle, however. So I guess we can hope. But in a few years if Johnny doesn’t make it and he turns out wrong, don’t be too hard on him. For as a youngster, he really tried. Johnnv isn’t kin to you, is he?— FIVE STAR governors than any other coun ty. The latest governor to come from Edgefield was Strom Thur mond, now the Senior U. S. Senator from South Carolina.
