WEALTH AND SUCCESS.

The question is constantly ask
ed whether our colleges prepare
their students to be- successful In
after life. In nine cases out Of
ten the man who asks this Ques-
ton measures success in terms
Of wealth. lie thinks Of the whole
world as playing a game in which
money is the prize and the man
who makes most money is the
winner. II this were the right
way to look at life the inquiry
would be an overwhelmingly i'm
portant one. The true measure
Of a mans success is the service
which he renders. not the pay
which he exacts for it. The true
measure Of mans ability Is the
power to help others and to con-
tribute to their advancement.
The effort to make money is an
important incentive to social
service and industrial progress.
but the amount Of wealth each
man acquires is no accurate in
dication Of the service he has
rendered or the progress he has
made possible-President Had

from this source is exceedingly limited.
The theory that floods were less extern

the period when the country was almost
entirely covered with forest rests very
largely on unreliable data. Scientific In
