AS EDUCATOR AND EXECUTIVE In Particular, His Record as the Gov- ernor of New Jersey Shows Him Worthy of Highest Position In the Gift of tne Peoplp, It would be bard to find & school boy over the age of twelve years who has not heard of the name of Wood- row Wilson, Woodrow Wilson was born iIn Staunton, Virginla, December 28th, 1856. His father was the Rev. Joseph R. Wilson and one of the most in- fluential churchmen of the south. At the age of two years his father moved to Augusta, Georgia, where. he took charge of one of the largest and most influential churches in the south. Augusta was then a city of about 15,000 inhabitants, and it was here that the boyhood of the future governor of New Jersey and presi- dent of Princeton was speat. Rev. Wilson moved to Columbia, South Carolina, in the Autumn of 1870 and became & teacher Ia the Southern Theological Seminary which position be held for four years. Woodrow continued to attend school, but most of his training was under the direct supervision of his father, and in spite of his late years to start at books he soon qualified for college and at seventeen he was sent to Davidson College, North Carolina. Princeton Training Valuable. In the autumn of 1876 he entered Princeton, where he graduated with the class of 1879. His going north to college was fortunate, for it gave him at an impressionable age an op- portunity to understand the north- ern, as well as the southern, point of view, In the autumn of 1885 he was called to the chair of history and po- litical economy in Bryn Mawr Col- lege. This he held for three years, when he was called to a similar po- sition in Wesleyan University. He remained there two years and was called to his alma mater, Princeton, as professor of jurisprudence and po- litical economy. Later in 1902 he was elected president of Princeton—the second oldest university in the United States. He took his Ph, D. degree on examination in 1886, sub- mitting as his thesis “Congressional Government.” This is considered the highest degree conferred by institu- tions of learning. When Dr. Wilson came to the presidency of Princeton he had been known as & scholar, author and pub- lic speaker, but he was untested as an executive. In his presidential office he carried out the idea of leadership which he pronounced in his first book, and has held ever since, in office and out of office. He proposed eomething at Princeton that was a radical change from the old way; it was the com- plete reorganization of the university in such a way as to bring into daily communication and companionship representatives of all classes and of the faculty. The proposal was against the tradition of Princeton, for it lent toward breaking up the | selfelective clubs. “It sounded a startling note of democracy and point- 'ed out broad ways by which the TELEGRAM LAKEIAND, FLA,, EBRUARY 14, 1912 !m(‘ual thuu;.ht is traceable in every cay and book that he wrote, but ways rw:mlml of the rigms of oth- | r's. sinee hc hz Torsey—pro uhl\ lhe worst corpora- .fl§ b k4 2' n-ridden state in the union—has put :f» MAKES '3 or ountry Fs 'n are | A i Y i & it vl caving that he will be ‘;; CALL A_ND SEE THE‘I‘ CAN S‘aVr_ XOU e ;‘; o L m;wm:i;- nomince for the presi- 3;; Crushed Rock, Sand and Cement :d ney when the convention convenes | ”, r s i 1 hmisr.

B, ZINMMERMAN. Proprlcm ! At all times and places, says & | vQiGHQOIGININRGIOTCIOIVIGIHIOTQIQIPTOIG I ,3 writer in Success, Woodrow Wilson has counselled opening our govern- mental processes to the light. Thus at Minneapolis: “Every community is vaguely aware t..at the political machine upon which it looks askance has certain very defi- | nite connections with men who are engaged In business on a large scale, and the suspicion which attaches to |¢ the machine Itself has begun to at- tach also to business enterprise just because these connections are known | ¢ to exist. If these.connections were open and avowed, if everybody knew just what they invoived and just wiat use was being made of the alliance there would be no difficulty in keep- ing an eye upon affairs and in con- trolling them by public opinion. But, unfortunately, the whole process of law-making in America is a very ob- scure one. There is no highway of *-gislation, but there are many by- ways.” At another .me he pald this hu- morous tribute to publicity: “There is one very disturbing qual- ity in man, and I have experienccl it myself and I dare say you have. When you are a long way from home and see no neighbor from near your home you give yourself an extraor- dinary latitude in your conduct, but If you were on the desert of Sahara and met one of your immediate neigh- bors coruing the other way on a camel you wou'l behave yourself until hs got out of sight.” Reaching the Root. “Radical” means “rootical” and these laws merely got at the root of the things. We supposed we were electing our public officials. We were electing them, but were not selecting them. Certain gentlemen in private office were making up the slates and then permitting us to accept them, I want to have a voice in the selection of men I shall advocate. What is “radical?” Why, merely giving back to the communities of New Jersey what they supposed they bad all along.—~WOODROW WILSON. -——— Throws Away $39,160. Misers have great resourcefulness fn selecting hiding places for their treasures, but they rarely adopt the methods employed by a traveler on the railway line between Lescar and Pau, in France. This individual, who owned an estate worth about $48,700, sold all his property and insisted upon being pald the full purchase price in nego- tiable, bearer shares and in coupons payable to the Bank of France, He disposed of some of his money, and then during a brief halt of the train approaching Pau threw his pock- etbook containing the remainder, ap- proximately $39,180, into a hedge bor dering the line. There it was found recently by a hedge clipper, who deposited his find at the nearest police station. By the laws of France it will become his property at the end of twelve months unless the original owner claims it and proves his right. Uses of the Monocle. “Why do you wear a monocle in parliament?” “Well, you see,” replied the candid tourist, “some of those speakers are deucedly dull, but you can’t well go to sleep, you know, with one eye propped open with a bit of glass.” Wanted 'Em Back. *“Oug engagement fs at an end. Leave my presence at once, sir, and forever!” said the angry maiden, stamping her foot. “Oh, very well,” answered the young man, calmly, “I'll gladly leave your presence, but I shall take my presents with me.” Great Expectations. Now and then a man does some- thing really worthy of praise; but the trouble with the critter is that he gets into a blue funk if he isn’t per- petually reaping verbal bouquets for the thousand and one unimportant eand very ordinary samples of his handi- work.
