"OLD GORGON"
ON COLLEGES
They Make Neither Fools Nor Bright
Men-They Develop Them
From Letters From a Self Made Mer-
chant to His Son." by George
Horace LOrimcr

Dear Pierrepont-Your ma got back
safe this morning, and she wants me
to be sure to tell you not to overstudy,
and I want to tell you to be sure not
to understudy What we're really
sending you to Harvard for is to get
little of the education that's so good
and plenty there. When it's passed
around, you don't want to be bashful,
but reach right out and take big
helping every time, for l want you to
get your share. You'll find that edu-
cations about the only thing lying
around loose in this world and that it's
about the only thing fellow can have
as much of as he's willing to haul
away Everything else is screwed
| down tight and the screwdriver lost.
I'm anxious that you should be
good scholar, but I'm more. anxious
that you should be a good, clean man.
And if you graduate with a sound con-
science l shan't care so much if there
are a few holes in your Latin. There
are two parts of a college education
the part that you get in the schOOlroOm
from the professors and the part that
you get outside of it from the boys.
That's the really important part, for
the first can only make you scholar,
while the second can make you man.
Education is good deal like eating
"a fellow can't always tell which par
ticular thing did him good, but he can
usually tell which one did him harm
After a square meal of roast beef anC
; vegetables and mince pie and water
melon you can't says just which ingre
; dent is going into muscle, but yo'
; don't have to be very bright to figur
> out which one started the demand 70
pain killer in your insides or to guess
next morning which one made you be
lieve in a personal devil the night be
fore And so while a fellow can't fig
ure out to an ounce whether it's LatiI
. or algebra or history or what among
the solids that is building him up il
this place or that, he can go right
along feeding them in and betting
that they're not the things that turr
, his tongue fuzzy.
Does a college education pay? Does
it pay to feed in pork trimmings at
cents pound at the hopper and draw
out nice, cunning little country" sau
sages at 20 cents a pound at the other
end? Does it pay to take steer that's
been running loose on the range and
living on cactus and petrifed wood
till he's just bunch of barbed wire
and sole leather and feed him corn till
he's just a solid hunk of porterhouse
steak and oleo oil?
You bet it pays. Anything extra that
trains a boy to think and to think
quick pays. Anything that teaches a
boy to get the answer before the other
fellow gets through biting the pencil
pays.
College doesn't make fools. 1t de-
velops them. 1t doesn't make bright
men. 1t develops them. A fool will
turn out fool whether he goes to
college or not, though he'll probably
turn out different sort of a fool

yourself and make your buyers take
stock in you at par and accrued inter-
est. You've got to have the scent of a
bloodhound for an order and the grip OF
a bulldog on customer. You've got
to feel the same personal solicitude
over bill of goods that strays off to a
competitor as parson over back
slider and hold special services to
bring it back into the fold. You've got
to get up every morning with deter
mination if you're going to so to bed
with satisfaction. You've got to eat
hog, think hog, dream hog-in short, go
the whole hog-if you're going to wiz
out in the pork packing business.
That's a pretty liberal receipt, l
know, but it's intended for fellow
who wants to make a good sized pie.
And the only thing you ever find in pas
try that you don't put. in yourself is

PLAY AND PIE
Both Good. but II Isn't Wise to Make
a Meal of Either

OF course all this is going to take so
much time and thought that you won't
have very wide margin left for golf
especially in the afternoons. | simply
mention this in passing, because l see
in the Chicago papers which have been
sent me that you We're among the play
ers on the links one afternoon fort
night ago. Colts a nice, foolish game
and there amt any harm in it so far as
l know except for the balls-the stiff
balls at the beginning, the lost balls in
the middle and the highballs at the end
of the game. But a young fellow who
wants to be a boss butcher hasn't
much daylight to waste on any kind of
links except sausage links.
OF course a man should have a GER
tain amount of play, just as a boy is
entitled TO a piece of pie at the end of
his dinner. but he don't want to make
a meal of it. Any one who lets sinkers
take the place of bread and meat gets
bilious pretty young, and these fellows
who haven't any job except to blow the
old mans dollars are a good deal like
the little niggers in the pie eating con-
test at the county fair-they've a-plen-
ty of pastry and they're attracting a
heap of attention, but they've got
stomach ache coming to them by and
