A dynamo of energy, trained to the
work, a scholar and a speaker, and
infinitely comrade, DR. Poteat may
be trusted to show the lengths to
which a carefully prepared movement
may proceed. What he has, he has
won. What he is, is best told in the
confidence he inspires in the people
of his own denomination and in the
great Universities of the country of
whom he has been called in vain He
has that rare ambition which can put
aside for sentiment, which can choose
at less pay and more restricted notice
the field of labor among those whom
he knows and those who know him.
The instinct to use ones powers for
the helping of ones own is too often
stifled. That Poteat had the wisdom
to encourage the emotion is the best
proof of his future usefulness.

take in selecting Mr.. Wesley N. Jones
as President of the Convention. 1t is
a high and responsible position-the
highest in the gift of that viriie and
rapidly growing denomination. There
is no section of the State and no in
terest in North Carolina that the
Baptist church has not touched to
bless. 1t is progressive and agrees
sive in the home mission field. in edu-
cation, in caring for the orphans. in
temperance, in Sunday school work. in
sending missionaries to the foreign
field. and in every department of Chris
tian activity. In elevating Mr.. Jones
to the leadership of the church they
have chosen one whose devotion to
every cause for the advancement OF
his church has been shown in giving
his time, his wise counsel, his jealous
interest and of his means. His life
is an open hook and in it incarnate
the best aspirations and the best Ia
bors of his church. Conservative and
modest, he is typical North Carolina

life is the best product of the church
which has honored him. He was edu-

DIR. Taylor. the Builder.
Conceding his right after twenty
five years of remarkable building to
demand change, Wake Forest has
been both fortunate and consistent in
the selection of a new heard for the
old. Yet, from a surface view, there
are no two men more dissimilar than
the new president and his predeces-
sor. The one is all fire and dash and
enthusiasm: the other. also, had these
qualities but they did not show in his
person. The one is a scholar hid in
a very human and very interesting
personality; the other is an intensely
successful worker merged in the finish
of a scholar. The results, in either
case. have been much the same: while
the men are totally unalike.
What DR.. TAYLOR has done for Wake
Forest College outside of the incalcu-
liable value of his example and the
constant purity of his ideals. is seen
in a work which would put a "hust-
ler' of the most rapid type to shame.
Yet apparently he never hastened.
his activities eXerted themselves under
the mask of abstraction. When in the
late seventies DR.. Taylor came to
be chairman of the faculty and in
charge practically of the future of the
institution. the pitifully small endow-
ment fund of $4,000 remaining from
tho war. was in danger of being wiped
out. The SIS acres of college lands
had dwindled to 25. 1t did not look,
like q task for q student. Yet this
quiet man went his way almost in ST.
lence. He opened his mouth only to
announce what he had done. lie never
had to discount his productions or
confess the flaw on his hopes, Today,
monument. the wake Forest en-
dowment is $4,000 in securities SO
GOOD that the net return therefrom
is equal to six per cent on $4,000.
He has done this without Juror with
out exploitation, in fact-inexplicably
Yet the man has been simply a
student and scholar. his mind has
come to results and put forth de-
auctions with the quiet certainty of a
philosopher working from pat hypo>
thesis. He never took part In the
hurly-burly. His reason operated al
ways like a machine sure OF its pro-
duct. When the work had been done,
the man was done, Hls success has
been a triumph of intellect and of
faith.

A MORNING TONIC
(Horace Mann.)

An ignorant people not only is, but
must be, a poor people. They must
be destitute of sagacity and provi-
dence, and. of course. of competence
and comfort. The proof of this does
not depend upon the lessons of his
tory. but on the constitution of nature.
No richness of climate. no facilities
for commerce, no stores of gold or
of diamonds can confer e"en worldly
prosperity upon an uneducated ma,
ton. Such a nation cannot create
wealth of itself; and whatever riches
may be showered upon it will run to
waste Within the last four centu.
