we had been to Ruffin for no one

we motored out to his home. To

president of the State College,
but he did not have any more
sense about pedagogy and his
ability to know and select a real
teacher was hardly up to that
notse I am thinking of Ralph _

in the summer school here. Pro- fpssnr
Miy.pllp is an honor grfldnate
of the University of Illinois
and a lawyer of fame and practice
with the New York bar?
he isTrrrore than that he has all
of the characteristics of a great
teacher who is able to humanize
education and mal^T his disciples
love him. Mizelle is on the lips
of 400 teachers "attending the

saying good things about him.
