COLLEGE PRESIDENT SAYS
NUMBER OF ENTRANTS
ARE TOO HIGH
New York.—Fully 50 per cent of
the American boys who will go to
college next fall would be better off
if they changed their plans and went
directly into business, declares H. P.
Faunce of Brown University, in an
interview published by the Ameri
can Magazine today.
From a study of statistics cover
ing nearly half a century, Dr. Faunce
finds that many boys who go to col
lege are “failures,” in the sense
that they fail to graduate. “More
over,” he explains, “these figures do
not include the uncounted thousands,
who, though they have been graduat
ed, have simply wasted four precious
years, and recovered no benefit com
mensurate with the time and money
spent. There is no other career, for
which men are so definitely pre
pared, in which there is silch an ap
palling proportion of failures.”
The question every parent should
ask himself, according to Dr. Faunce
is this: “Is college worth four
years out of my boy’s life?”
Slimming up his 28 years’ experi
ence as head of n great Eastern uni
versity, Dr. Faunce says: “The com
mon belief that college training is
suited to every boy and that every
boy is suited to college, is one of
the great tragedies of American life
today. Certainly half of the boys
whom well-meaning parents send to
(College ought not to go.
“None of us can get too much
education. But it should be the
kind of education best fitted to us
as individuals. We are making the
mistake of assuming that education |
can be obtained only in colleges, and
that a college diploma is good for
everybody.
“The standardized bit of advice
relative to boys in America has be- j
come, ‘Send him to college if you
can afford it.’ A great tragedy is
the result. j
“One of the oldest colleges in the
United States show's in its reports
that only 33 per cent of the students
enrolled have been graduated with
their class. The others have gone
from college, disappointed, disillus
ioned, some of them embittered, with
.shattered confidence at an age when
self confidence should be highest, i
“Students and parents should de-:
vote at least as much time to investi- 1
gating what the colleges has to offer
before they decided to buy as the
average man does to investigating
the suitability of a house or an au
tomobile. Students come to college
without the slightest conception of
what it is all about. Many of them
are as much at a loss as the man
who went into a jewelery store to
buy a pipe wrench.”
EASTERN CONCERN BUYS
WINDER MILL
Winder, Ga.—One of the largest
transactions in the business life of
Winder and one that means much to
the industrial development of this
community was the announcement to
day that a deal had been closed
whereby the Barrow County Cotton
mills has been sold to the Amoskeag
Cotton mills of Fitchburg, Mass.,
one of the largest cotton mill organi
zations in the United States. Includ
ed in the sale of the mills at Winder,
was the branch mill located at Laxv
renceville, which was bought a few
years ago by the Barrow County
Cotton mills.
The mill at Winder now has 17,000
spindles, with the one at Lawrcnce
ville having nearly as many.
The Amoskcag mills, whose main
mills are in New England, are fol
lowing the course of other cotton
mill operators, and moving into the
south, already having branch mills in
other southern states.

MAY OPEN GRAVE AS
NEXT MOVE IN CASE
OF HARRY K. SLIGH
(From Lavonia Times)
Since the indictment yesterday af
ternoon in Irwin county, Ga., of
Harry K. Sligh, formerly of Fitz
gerald, Ga., on a charge of arsen
in connection with the burning of
! his home near that place last Sep-
I tember and at which time it was be
lieved that he perished in the flames,
it is believed that Georgia authorities
will not take steps to disinister the
contents of a grave in Seneca, S. C.,
until recently believed to be that of
Sligh.
Some time after Sligh’s arrest in
Los Angeles recently, at the instiga
tion of insurance companies with
i which he was protected, Georgia au
thorities petitioned the circuit court
here for an order to disinter the
remains of the body buried in Moun
tain View cemetery of Seneca, S. C.,
and the order was granted.
• * *
Ocilla, Ga., April 15. —H. K.
Sligh, charged with arson following
the burning of his home in which
were found the charred bones of
what was thought to be a human be
ing, and subsequently arrested in
, Los Angeles after insurance com
panies investigated his supposed
death, was indicted for arson this
afternoon by a grand jury in Irwin
superior court. His trial is expect
ed to be held next week.
| Sligh disappeared after the fire
and the bones found in the house,
after having been declared those of
, Sligh, were buried near Seneca, S.
C., with funeral ceremony. He is
said to have carred life insurance
with double indemity in case of ac
cidental death. Attempts to collect
the insurance led to investigation
and the man’s arrest.
Sligh is said to have told police
he was a victim of amnesia.
When the prisoner was returned
here from Los Angeles he was re
leased on bond and has been living
on his farm and is having it culti
vated. After Sligh was apprehend
ed and brought back a court order
wa? obtained permitting the disin
terment of the carcass near Seneca,
S. C., supposed to have been that of
Sligh, but the grave has not yet
been opened.

"OCCASIONALLY I am trou-

pation and inactive liver,” says
Mrs. John L. Pence, Broadway,
Va. "I always use Thedford’s
Black-Draught when I feel a spell
of this kind coming on, for it
saves me a bad headache. My
color gets sallow at times. I get
real yellow, showing that the tro
uble comes from the liver.
"I have found Black-Draught to
be the finest kind of a remedy
for this. I take Black-Draught
and make a tea out of it, and take
it, along in small doses for sever
al days. I have never found any
thing that served me so well.
"Since I have known about
Black-Draught, I have not suffer
ed nearly so much with head
ache, caused from indigestion. If
I find my tongue is coated, and
I wake up with a bad taste in
my mouth, I know I have been
eating indiscreetly, and I imme
diately resort to Black-Draught
to straighten me out.”
