WALKS 40 MILES TO COLLEGE;
ANOTHER II NCoLN, SAY TEACHERS

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 3.-Histo-
ries tell of the feats performed by the
pioneers of the nation to obtain an
education, but none Of them ever
walked 40 miles when there were
railroads all around them to enter an
educational institution. John Henry
Strickland, an Arkansas boy, claims
the copyright on such a feat, and he
expects to put in as hard work at
college as he did in getting there.
John Henry Strickland is a name
which would suggest books Of a friv-
olous nature, but there is nothing Of
that kind about this John Henry. He
knows nothing about the places visit
ed by the notorious character Of that
name. nor is he long on slang, as was
that h~aberdasher Of the queens Eng
lish. In spite of it all, John Henry
Strickland has been in the army, but

On the morning of September "a,
1913. Strickland, a strapping youth Of
the kind typical to Arkansas, left
Bonneville and started his 140-mile
walk across the mountains to Arka-
delphia. where he was to matriculate
in Ouachita college. On the first day
he walked thirty miles, crossing one
of the highest mountain ranges in the
state on his journey. He had covered
twenty-nine miles Of the journey by
two hours after noon, and in order
to get properly limbered up for the
balance of the journey, spent the re-
mainder Of the afternoon picking cot
ton. The second day he tloundered
seventeen miles through the mud and
rain. which continued through the
third day and limited his daily turn
to twenty-five miles. AS the fourth
day was Sunday, Strickland only walk
ed sixteen miles in the afternoon, end
ing the journey with a twenty-two-
mile walk on tn fifth day.
