 body ot the High School, by Mir. Sheppard, a representative of the Sewanee University. Mr. Shepperd dwelt to some length on the fact that this is the age of the college bred man and that to make any thing like an eminent success a man has to have college education. The age of the lucky successes has gone and the man is judged now by what he can do, and college education is a preparation to cope with every situ- ation in life.
 Besides the fact" said Mir. Shep- perd, "that 90 per cent of the names registered on the Who's Who roll of illustrious Americans, there are are other reasons more vital and inn portant than these. College life breeds democracy It teaches a stu dent how to be a citizen. How to be governed and disciplined. It puts him on an equal with any man. Col lege life enlarges a mans points of contact. Two uneducated men have few points of contact and have hard time finding any common interest to be used as a topic of conversation A college bred man can be on con- mon ground with any class and can not only hold his own but can be the instigator in any kind of converse ion be it ever so suited. This is one of the main vital benefits of a college education. To broaden, to be dem ocratlc, to be able to mix and mix we'll with your fellow man.
 This brings us to main idea of living, and that is to give ourselves to our fellow man, to do our duty to ourselves, our state, and our God. In this way we can find happiness and that is the main teachings of college education to learn to become useful citizens, good neighbors, and enjoy happiness.
 "A college education does not guarantee to make man rich or to make him success in the world. as measured by riches. It merely teaches him to be able to find the best there is in life and be governed ac- cordingly. What we get out of books in a college forms but a very small part of our education. It is what we learn from association with men who have intellects as bright as our own, men who are broad and have liberal as we'll as strong views of life.
 "A college education is now being put within the reach of all now and the boy who fails to take advantage of the splendid opportunities will find the road to success rough and rocky, and while success is not all ways reached over smooth paths yet the benefits of college education make the way not easier but pos sible."
 ~ the conclusion of his magnifi cient address Mir. Shepperd showed some lantern slide views of the Sewanee University and the beautiful country surrounding that renowned college.
 The Sewanee spirit has been mark ed and marveled at. With less than two hundred students enrolled they compete With all the larger colleges in the South, i'll oratory, debate and athletics, and in the majority of cases win out. This speaks we'll for the student democracy and cooperation. Several of the students at the High School are interested in this school, with the view of becoming prospec- tive members.
 MT. Shepperd was visitor in sev- eral of the class rooms during the morning, and expressed himself de- lighted with the class of work done by the students and also compliment ed them highly on their almost per feet order both in the class room and in the study hall. He will make another visit to the school in May.
