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. I
was never confronted exactly as
in the case of Voorhees but 1
dealt with a variety of nation

alities.
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

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.
