his wife brought him very

confessed that he was at a loss
to offer any solution. Why this
condition prevails, he could no

gested it might be due, to lack
of interest and ambition, cr to fi
nancial inability.
Plan for High School Students
In making a college education
available to n larger number of
high school graduates, he empha
sized the fart that the number
of students who are yearly poten
tial recipients for positions here
in Athens ai) a means of defray
ing the cost of attnding college,
would have to be lowered. To al
leviate this situation, he suggests
that high school students take ad
vantage of any opportunity for
earning money in their respectiv*
communities. By saving #200 ocr

in hirh school, he offers a plan
whereby high school students

“haa become an obsession that Is
