+ When a man of a family is sent
to prison for a term of several years

CULTURE AND LEADERSHIP

One Of the glorious things in a
free country like ours is that an
ambitious youth, though hampered
by lack OF educational opportunities
can, by dint Of industry and force
OF character, now and then rise to
positions Of great power and in
fuence. But the rule of success is
overwhelmingly against illiteracv
except in positions meneal and oh
scure. 1t is said that the last edition
OF Who's Who in America" pub
hsned about two years ago, contains
1885 nan es of those who are lead
ers IN the various departments Of
activity in this country. OF this
number 71.09 per cent are college
men and 1886 per cent attended
msn school, while only 1905 per
cent are to be found among the TN
educated Or lii tie common school
class. There is very close relation,
between Culture and leaders; il
