Professor g. T.. Phillips. Of Denver. He
pointed TO him as a former West Vir-
Eintan and one who was glad TO Est
back 20 the old state he told % tho
school life Of Professor Phillips and the
strides he had made In the educational
world.
Professor Phillips. with all the decor
GUS personality OF finished speaker.
delivered an address on the Essentials
Of Success. Not Foun" in Books" lie
began by paying "A deep compliment 90
the class Of 1915 and the fact that ~
was the largest class he had ever seen
graduate from any High school. He also
spoke % the vast audience which nnei
the theatre an evidence Of the en-
thusiasm which prevailed along cduca-
uoual lines. He related several per
sonai experiences Of his early high
school life and spoke Of the teacher who
had Influenced him In finishing a high
school course.
His address follows.
Elements of Success Not Pound in Books.
In as much es ! shall be obi ~cd u
he plain. bold. and critical IN my lecture
this evening. let me preface the main
body OF my thoughts with prologue
on you. have never seen you before.
yet i have en- honest opinion about you.
At least 80 per cent 81 YOU absolutely
mean right. are noble In soul and spirit.
I II has never been my belief that stu
dents violate rules and decorum Of hfc
deliberately. More than that. I do not
believe anyone starts out intending To
become "A liar; ever steals intending To-
become n thief; ever takes the first
drink intending to become a drunkard.
For any youth deliberately TO plan his
own wreck and ruin T. abnormal. and No
who believes that he does 80 has nth"
knowledge OF human life and the forces
behind human conduct
In a measure We all know that school
life f. the axe Of folly. but not intcE-
tional folly. \ recent book draws
vivid picture of an indignant father who
is dis gusted with his dudish son. Final
Is the much grievcd mother presents 60
his youthful days. one look NJ b. aud
his whole dcmcanor changes. And the
author then says 90 the young readers
I 'Whstsocvor you arc low he sure your
parents were the same and more to-
Il also know another aspect OF your
life. 1 know that the deepest longing
. Of your life b. Co succeed. 60 accomplish
something worth while In life. 90 life
life 81 peace and happiness. II ] did not
have such faith In you would not spend
my time and energy In advising you.
But why then are all the paths and uy
ways strcwn with failures in life"
Partly because the proper advice has
not been given; partly because they are
advised wrongly. and partly because no
amount Of emphasis cen bring the over
confident youth To- accept or have faitu
in some forms 81 advice where h. has
had no experience. This over self-couii-
dencc Is one Of the most sacred and yet
the most dangerous thing IN life.
