Our Presidents,

The president OF the United States
is the highest position to which an
American can attain. Twcnty-four
men have reached this exalted office.
and during more than half Of the life
of the country college facilities were
very difficult indeed. Yet II of these
chief executives have been college men
and only three quite without what we
call academic training. while all, save
two, Of the nongraduatcs were mem
bers Of a learned profession. The col.
lese education does not appear to have
interfered with men seeking the high.
est political distinction. but to have
helped in n way that Is self evident.

A German custom. which The Rail.

duced with advantage in this country.
Is the sale OF platform tickets. which
admit the bearer to the trains about 10

companying friends TO assist them
with their hand baggage TO their seats
and help with the children when such
are present. In most cases the assist.
ance Is denied. as those n holding
