The ‘basic principle for his conduct lald down on that never-forgotten occa~ &lon has been the rule of his life, and *has more than anything else enabled thim to accomplish so much as he has. ‘When he was five years old he struck against his primary school teacher, "“omplaining that she “went over the same thing too many times.” Qn that occasion he presented to his father “Charles Hughes’ Plan of Study'— this provided for a fixed task at every hour of the day—and his father ap- proved of it. All his life Secretary Hughes has been similarly systema- tizing his work. That he has never ed hly youthfully demonstrated llingness to stand alone in protest against what he believed to be a Wwrong policy is shown by the record he established as Governor of New York in vetoing more bills than any governor since Grover Cleveland—297 vetoes In one session.

The letter follows: ELpincs “My Dear Warren Harding—A friend of yours has written to let me know that you have arrived in’this worid within a few days past and have dem onstrated an early and appealing dis cretion by inducing your parents to give you a good name.

I hope you will try as hard as I have to do nothing to discredit the name, for I know your father and mother, like my own, would grieve if that should You have arrived here in a mighty interesting time for the world and will have a chance to be a use- ful citizen. “Please do your best to live up to all your possibilities in that direction. “I wish I could hope to remain as long as you may, for this world is going to be an extremely interesting place during the time You are en- titled to stay in it.
