PRESIDENT POTEAT AND HIS
IDEAS.

The election of Prof. w. l.. Poteat,
LID, as president of Wake Forest
College, gives to that institution as its
executive head North Carolina schol-
ar whose life has been spent as a
member of the faculty. He has been
a student all these years and think
er, and in his chair has stimulated
the young men with ambition to high
Intellectual attainment Recently
called to the presidency of an institu-
ton in another State, Mr.. Potcat
elected to remain in his native State
and with the college; to the growth
of which he has devoted all his ability
which he will undertake he will have
the earnest cooperation of all The
friends of Wake Forest College and
of education in North Carolina.
Writing recently upon Education
and Business" President Poteat
warned young people against the mis-
take of cutting short the improve
ment of their minds" and making "a
short cut to business or technical
preparation" when not necessary. DR..
Poteat went on to give his ideal of
education:
THE bottom idea in education is
development. It's aim is character
and efficiency 1t is liberaiiZing
and an enlarging influence. There is,
therefore, in an educated man more OF
manhood, in an educated woman,
more of womanhood, than in the UNI
educated That is, more of capacity
to set to any task whether of learning
or of business; and it goes without
saying that the task is better done.
Besides drawing out ones native pow
ers and putting one in control of them,
education does this other invaluable
service: it stocks the mind with
ideas Accordingly, the educated per-
son is resourceful, is able to find
path through the tangle of unfamiliar
circumstances. is not nonplussed by q
new situation. Obviously this, en-
larged capacity and this stock of ideas
go as far toward insuring the success
of the business career as they go to-
ward insuring the success of the career
of scholarship. In the future, <Vel
more than in the past, the prizes OF
the Industrial and commercial world
will be won by educated men and Wo-
! men. tttt.<
1--WE must remind our young friends
I of another and a higher consideration.
IT is to be hoped that we aim, not
simply to make living, but to live.
