In Particular, His Record as the Gov. ernor of New Jersey Shows Him Worthy of Highest Position in
 the Gift of t.ae People.

It would be hard to find a school boy over the age of twelve years who has not heard of the name of Wood row Wilson.
 Woodrow Wilson was born in Staunton, Virginia, December 2Sth, 1856. His father was the Rev. Joseph R. Wilson and one of the most in- fiuential churchmen of the south
 At the age of two years his father moved to Augusta, Georgia, where he took charge of one of the largest and most influential churches in the south. Augusta was then city of about 15,O00 inhabitants, and it was here that the boyhood of the future governor of New Jersey and presi- dent of Princeton was spent.
 Rev. Wilson moved to Columbia, South Carolina, in the Autumn of 1870 and became teacher in the Southern Theological Seminary which position be held for four years. Woodrow continued to attend school, but most of his training was under the direct supervision of his father. and in spite of his late years to start at books he soon qualified for college and at seventeen he was sent to Davidson College. North Carolina.
 Princeton Training Valuable.
 In the autumn or 1875 he entered Princeton, where he graduated with the class of 1879. His going north to college was fortunate, for it gave him at an impressionable age an op- portunity to understand the north ern, as we'll as the southern, point of view.
 Tn the autumn of 1885 he was called to the chair of history and po- litical economy in Bryn Mawr Col lege. This he held for three years, when he was called to a similar po- sition in Wesleyan University. He remained there two years and was called to his alma mater, Princeton, as professor of jurisprudence and po- litical economy. Later in 1902 he was elected president of Princeton-the second oldest university in the United States. He took his Ph. D. degree on examination in 1886, sub- hitting as his thesis Congressional Government" This is considered the highest degree conferred by institu- tions of learning.
 When pr. Wilson came to the presidency of Princeton he had been known as scholar, author and pub lie speaker, but he was untested as an executive.
 In his presidential office he carried out the idea of leadership which he pronounced in his first book, and has held ever since, in office and out of office He proposed something at Princeton that was radical change from the old way; it was the com plete reorganization of the university in such way as to bring into daily communication and companionship representatives of all classes and of the faculty. The proposal was against the tradition of Princeton, for it lent toward breaking up the self-elective clubs. "It sounded startling note of democracy and point ed out broad ways by which the | youth Ol tue COuuliy COulu be DtOuSut up for the service of the country
 Young Men Look Up to Him.
 Woodrow Wilson has been an in- spiration to many young men who have looked up to him as a master of his calling-always helpful to oth- CTS, as individuals and as a body pol itic. He copies after no one and in. dividual thought is traceable in every essay and book that he wrote, but always regardful of the rights of oth- CTS. The reforms he has inaugurated since he has been governor of New Jersey-probably the worst corpora. tion-ridden state in the union-has put him prominently before the world. All over the country thoughtful men are writing and saying that he will be the Democratic nominee for the pfesi. dency when the convention convenes next summer He is by nature and adaptation the fttest man for that of. l fec to be found iE the United States
