One o. The most stirring addresses
ever listened to By the student body
of the University of Arizona. was
( delivered at assembly yesterday
] by President Won KlenSmid. Tho
daily assemblies are being largely at
tended by faculties and students. both
realizing alike the inspiration to he
gained by attendance there. DR.. won
! KleinSmid is giving the students
morning talks ON the conduct of their
every day life. which for soundness
and literary execution have never
been eQualled in Tucson.
Nothing is occupying our minds
more today" he declared this morn
ing than the work OF the individual.
in other words. Of the duties a man
sets for himself In the words of the
/ commercialist, a man stands for the
/ amount OF machine work he can do.
At an institution with which | was
once connected i'm supplying boys for
work in commercial houses, we wero
told, We do not care. i'm this line
{ of work, for high school graduates.
/ Can YOU give us erammer choo,
! boys? in some of the positions. we

but we do not want one of superior
training. We have few college men
I here. II is a fact that If we engage
a boy who has not gone through high
school. he does exactly as we tell
| him to; he doesn't have ideas of his
! own. and we can give him the train
/ ing necessary Il other words they
want a machine, and looking from the
/ standpoint of the boy, there is no
/ opportunity of advancement for him.
| Don't take too seriously the remarks
of our steel magnates OF even our
good friend Henry Ford who is re-
/ ported as saying that he does not
use college graduates I'm his immense
/ factories. What he wants is a ma
chine, the most efficient human
machine that he can put to action
/ He is willing to pay well for that
machine, because he can get out of
that machine, not only the maximum
/ of labor, but something to put into
/ his own pocket.-a million. or two
millions, or three millions Il means
that what he wants is simply human
activity He doesn't want human in
! telligence But the conception of the
patterns of the Ford automobile shows
superior intelligence, and il is posi-
tive that these do not come from the
vulgar brain AS have said before
/ estimate that 100000 a year Us Gin,
worth OF a man who works i'm
mechanical way; that a high scho.
graduate is worth about $4,000
year, and a college graduate abor

the attainment Of ideals in the light
of ideals An idea always presents
to a fellow something or nothing,

From our four years investment
here, we expect to get the difference
between $4,000 and $1SO0.0O in
other words you get from here IL
you please. $4,000 a year more than
otherwise you would just so long as
! you work, and the world says, Yes,
because the world has found you
worth it, Now not all college stud
ents, because they have received a
diploma, viii be worth that to the
world
Most of us work without any de-

opens up to us a great many channels
of which we have never dreamed, and
