MEN WHO SUCCEED.

The latest edition of Who's Who In expressed by a few successful men as to the value of college education as q factor in success.
 In this volume are brief biOgra ph'es of 11.551 Americans, living on last Au- gust 1. who had in some way won sue cess. All the notable figures in public life. in the professions. in the worlds of commerce. industry. finance, art and letters are here Probably some names are in that should be out and some ou. should be in. But. taken all in all. th:s is evidently a fair poll list of Amerl- cans in some way distinguished.
 Out of these II 551 men and women of note 3760 gave some educational data about themselves. of these 5.775 went to college and 4,S10 were graduated. Only about one in 100 of the able bodied males of this country is a college man. The percentage of college women is far smaller. Yet out of the Il, ,551 men an.l women who have won the distinction implied by their enrolment in this vol tune more than one-half attended col lege. Of those giving educational data. 59 per cent were collegians.
 The case may be stated in another way: If, all the men in this country could be shaken up in box and one d avn out at random the od6s against drawing a college man would be 109 to l. But if all the men who have done something of note in the various walks of life could be shaken up the odds on
 drawing a college man would be more | than even. If there be omitted from the calculation those who furnish ed details to technical education only
 and tbose edcuated at foreign institu-
 tions. the result is even more striking
 Out Of S.141 which furnished details as [ to general education. nearly Il per cent | were collegians.
 The old adage. Knowledge is pow er." was never more strikingly demon | started than by these figures. Tho
 men who are making the United State: today. and those who are determining 1 it's future, are largely the products o it's colleges. The young men and wo

 It Is true that man is a man, what ever be his education. and in the long run he counts just what he is worth as man. Nevertheless. in the battle of life the man who counts nowadays is evidently the collegian. His chances for visible success as against the man without his equipment are plainly at least 50 to 1.
