He said the Jicads of the railroads were men who had grown up in the industry, and were more competent to manage -their own business than were men hired by the g0 nment to run the roads. Representatives Phillip Campbell of Kansas and R. Walton Moore of Vir- ginia stressed the point that the time for opportunity in the United States has not passed. and that the business success or failure of any man rests solely upon his individual effort. Rep- resentative Campbell deplored the ef- forts of labor groups or other groups who claim that the iime of opportu- nity has passed and attempt by group action to assert their supremacy. Rev.

TECH HIGH SCHOOL. In view of the remarkable success| claimed by Tech High Sehool in dr: matics in recent years, it is afe to that a treat is in store for patrons of | high school plays this year, when Tech presents “The " Road to Yesterday." This play, written by Beulah Marie Dix and Mrs. 'Sutherland, was very popular in its original production on the pro- | fessional stage and is certain to prove attractive in its presentation by the high school. 1t will be given in the Central audi- torium Friday and Saturday nights, Feb- ruary 23 and 2. and again Friday_and Saturday nights. March 2 and 3. This comedy hasa presentsday setting. The second and third acts. however, portray a dream which takes the audience back 300 vears. thus affording an excellent opportunity for coxtuming and the de- lineation of two phases of character. | The leading parts will be tken by students who have been prominent in the dramatic work of the school, many of whom appeared in last year's spring play and in the production of Booth | Tarkington's “Clarence,” which wus given by the dramatic club with maried | Buccess last month. !
