Quality of Knowledge Counts.

What is needed to elevate the soW 1s, not that man should know aE that has been thought and written in regard to the spiritual nature-not that man should become an ency. clopedia; btt that the great idea, in which all discoveries terminate. which sum up all sciences. which the philos. opher extracts from infinite details, may be comprehended and felt, quotes William Ellery Charming. It is not the quantity, but the quality of knowl edge, which determines the minds dig. nity. A great mind is formed by few great ideaS not by an infiD. 1ty of loose details. have known very learned men, who seemed to ne very poor in intellect, because they had nc grand thoughts. The illumin. ation of an age does not consist in tue amount of its knowledge, but In the broad and noble principles of which chat knowledge Is the foundation and inspirer.

Placing OF Embargo 10 Urged by Gar

Up Traffic.

Washington.-An urgent recommen-
dataion that an embargo be declared
for few days on acceptance by the
railroads of any freight except coal
and food was submitted to Director
General McAdoo by the fuel adminis-
tration.
This action is imperative, Admins
traitor Garfield said, to assure ade-
quate movement, when the general
transportation situation east Of the
Mississippi threatens to become worse
daily, owing to the prolonged strain on
railroads of deep SHOWS and intensely
cold weather. ~
The five-day period Of industrial sus-
pension ended Tuesday, and, with the
resumption of manufacturing. railroad
officials look for a new food Of traf-
fic which the railroads cannot handle
until normal weather is restored.
Director General McAdoo was not
inclined to look with favor on the en-
barge proposal. He held that under
government operation and consequent
pooling Of facilities and short haul
routing, the railroads would be able to
clear all freight offered for transpor.
tation without priority and without
embargoes. Coal and food already
have preference over all other classes
OF freight, he pointed out, and are be-
ing moved to tidewater and to local.

TO ERECT LONDON MEMORIAL.

The trustees of the University, at their
semi-annual meeting in Raleigh, Tues
day, Jan. 22nd, adopted the resolution
offered by Perrin Busbee, of Raleigh, and
seconded by W. N. Everett, of Rocking
ham, to erect tablet in Memorial Hall
in honor of Maj. H. A. London.
The resolution, as passed, follows:
"The Board of Trustees of the Uui.
versity have learned with deep sorrow of
the death of Henry Armand London, of
Pittsboro. North Carolina, and the Con-
federacy of the old South. Henry Lon
don was member of this body and had
served on the Board of Trustees for
many years. His death occurred early
last Sunday morning. Punctual and eff
cient as trustee, devoted and loval as
an alumnus, diligent and learned as a
lawyer, fearless and trenchart as an edi-
tor, jealous and unhesitating as soldier
and patriot, devout and beneficent as a
churchman, affectionate and indulgent
as parent, patriotic and unassuming as
a publicist---. he has entered into we'll

and useful life and has left behind a
heritage of love and affection and a
spotless character to his family, and Of
honor and faithful service to his acquain.

Mr.. London. His particular subject was
to sustain the proud claim that North
Carolina was last at Appomattox, which
he did admirably. And he associated a
few gentlemen with himself and OBJ
tanned title to spot on the field of
Appomattox and there he caused to be
erected an appropriate monument in
commemoration of the fact that North
Carolina fired the last gun at Apo
mattox. Indeed, the services of MIR.
London to the cause of the people of
North Carolina in these matters have
been invaluable. At the annual meet
ing of the State Literary and Historical
Association in the fall of 1916 he was
elected President, deserved recognition
and an honor to the body.
HIS SINCERITY OF PURPOSE.
The keynote of Mr.. London's conduct
in life has been sincerity of purpose,
while steady application and punctuality
have marked his career. He had always
been constant attendant at the com
mencements of the University, of which
he was trustee, and with fidelity dis.
charged the duties of secretary of the
Alumni Association for many years. He
never failed to attend any church con-
vention, any political convention or meet
ing, press convention or bar association
which it was his duty to attend. In the
observance of such duties he was indeed
so constant and punctual as to have won
the merited commendation of his asso'
ciates. Speaking of him one of the edi'
tors of the State has said: "He wears
the white flower of blameless life"
that "he is charming orator and one Of
the most lovable of men,; and to this
may be added that he was faithful in his
friendships and always earnest in his
endeavors to promote the political for
tunes of his friends.
