EXPRESSIONS on EDUCATION.
NO. 10.
William Henry Ruffner.

(1824, 1908. Educator and scientist-)
A disparagement of the higher edu-
cation is sometimes founded on the
fact that men who never received lib
eral education rise to high positions
and accomplish great results. To the
credit of our race, and especially of
our age and country, such examples do
frequently occur, and such men are
worthy Of double honor. But they are
the exceptions. AS a rule, the higher
work is done by cultured men. And
many Of those who are called "self-
made men "Jhave been laborious stu
dents at home, as was true Of Charlie
magne, and to considerable extent
Of Patrick Henry, of Henry Clay, and
of Samuel Houston; and whatever may
be said of others, men of this rank
are rarely, if ever, found disparaging
education. They never forget how
much harder they have had to struggle
and how they suffer all their lives be-
cause they did not enjoy liberal adj
vantages in early life.

ASKS INFORMATION.
President Wilson Asks Boy Scout
Organization to Help Locate Walnut
Timber for Use of Government.

President Wilson has appealed to the
Boy Scouts of America to secure infor-
nation for the government as to the
location of walnut timber which is not
only very much needed just now, but
is also very scarce.
The President Is appeal follows:
"To the Boy Scouts of America:
In order to carry out the program
of the War Department, it is of the
utmost Importance that large quaint
ties of black walnut lumber should be
secured for its uses. Black walnut is
used by the ordnance department. for
the manufacture Of gunstocks and
by the signal corps for the manu-
facture of propellers for battle
and bombing airplanes.
"The location Of black walnut trees,
the names of the owners, the sizes of
the trees and the price at which they
can be purchased, is greatly desired.
1t is believed that the organization of
the Boy Scouts Of America is partic-
ularly well constituted for obtaining
this information. There are no longer
any large individual lots of walnut
timber, but there is very large sup
ply when collected into groups or cen
tiers; at the present time there are to
be found only a few trees here and
there scattered over the whole of the
United States east of the Rocky
Mountains.
81, therefore, appeal to the well
known loyalty of your organization to
secure for the government this desired
information.
g In securing data, the owners of the
black walnut timber should be advised
of our pressing needs, and they should
be requested to show their patriotism
by doing all in their power to assist
their government in this great war. y
The President s appeal was received
by Scout Executive James F. Knapp
of Kenosha Monday and steps are being
taken to carry out his request.
