Of course any intelligent school child of IA years can answer these tantallzing questions, but an A. NJ, B. C., or A. U. c. graduate will feel like the man who had
 a vision, and saw in the heavens the let ters "G. P c." which he interpreted
 "Go Preach Christ" A kind friend, after
 his failure interpreted the mystic letters
 as "Go Pick Cotton." Or, perhaps, he
 will feel like taking the advice of the man. who, when he asked his friend what
 to do when a man called him an "addle-
 pated donkey" advised him to call in a veterinary surgeon. But the club women
 say ignorance in county superintendents
 of education must not be tolerated. and
 the collegebred brilllants of quarter of a
 century ago will have to shine elsewhere
 or get that 1S-year-old sweet girl graduate to coach him.
