THE RIGHT MAN NTHE RIGHT :
PLACE-MISFrTS NOTWANTED.t !

ing man calls a "misfit"? We find
him in every phase of activity char
acterized by one result-failure-no
matter what may be the vocation at
tempted The progressive spirit Of
this generation has marked more of
these "misft-failures" than any pre-
vious era. The simple inability to
adapt ones original energy and dis
position to existing circumstances and
conditions, and the failure to materi-
alize rapidly developing opportuni-
ties in whatever field or activity
chosen are the dominant causes Of
the mis6ts.
A progressive spirit demands men
peculiarly fitted for the positions to
be entrusted to them. Success de-
pends upon this qualification and re-
suits from this careful supervision.
This is true of the private enterprise
and the principle is just as valid in
the administration of public affairs.
Does the average voter use this dis
criminate judgment in selecting his
county officers? Voters of Will
liamsburg, think! Con ider what
we are now facing. Never be-
fore was the dawn of the future day
so golden and promising. There has
been the awakening of mighty in
tellect--the intellect of the people!
Count our new and modern school
houses, where our children-the cit
izens of the morrow-are being
graded for thorough and careful
training. Compare the wonderful
increa3e in the enrolment of the
schools over that Of four years ago.
Take note of the fact that Williams
burg county has led the State for
several years as the county with the
banner district having the highest
rate Of special tax for schools. Yea
consider all of these and know that
the child of the "one-gallus" farmer,
though his father be dead, shall have
equal advantages for intellectual de-
velopment with the babe who came
into the world with the provertial
silver spoon in his mouth, and
that the opportunities of the one
shall not be one whit inferior to the
opportunities of the other.
The men of Williamsburg have
done much-and they are justly
proud: this high special tax; these
magnificent school houses, built and
given to the county; these hundreds
of bright boys and girls entering into
grander future than their ances-
tors have dreamed of-yea. justly
proud!
Now shall we sit down and con-
graduate ourselves? Soul, thou hast
much goods laid up for many years,
take thine ease?" Have we not done
much? Have we not voted high
taxes? Have we not given thousands
of dollars for erecting school build
ings? We have spent until even now
we feel the drain. Have we not done
our duty? True, even true-but shall
we stop the good work? Shall we
shackle the possibility of the good
already done? Do you ask, What!
Is more money needed for our
schools? Will you even drain u.s."
Men of Williamsburg, we'll done!
Yes, we have ploughed deep, and
the corn has been planted well; there
remains yet to bestow the fertilizer.
For after the Williamson Plan" we
must have bountiful yield, even a
hundred fold. Indeed the begin
ming has been we'll done-but re-
member we have only started the
work. Do not injure the work now
we have begun proper training;
we have started in the work; the
foundation is laid-now help us to
build the structure. Let it be in
