Aen awaiting discharge who are
Eea0y for college or who have par
italy completed q college course
snOuid consider carefully the advan-
ta3es OF q college education.
Army life has demonstrated more
clearly than it has ever been demon
strated before that the man who has
.eceived higher education, whether
!" DO general or special, possesses AN
enormous advantage over his less
trained fellows in the race for lead
eFsnip' A majority of the officers of
tne new army OF the United States are
college men-either former students
OF graduates. 1t was to be expected
tnat the college men, representing In
general the more prosperous classes.
would furnish the largest number of
candidates in the first officers train
ing camps. However, the superior
adaptabiiity and fitness for leader
ship OF college-trained men showed
itself strikingly also among the draft
cd men. A relatively large percen-
tage OF those selected for oficers'
training after o period in the train
Ing camps were men who had had
higher education. There have been
notable and numerous exceptions to
this tendency. Of course.
Higher education can not make a
leader Of a man who does not DOS
sess the proper qualities of mind and
character. Lack Of educational ad-
vantages seldom keeps the born lead
or from reaching his true level. But
1t must be obvious to the observant
young man in an army camp that the
fellow Of good average capacity has
q better chance to rise in q demo
cratically organized army IL he has
had the mental training which comes
from o college education.
What has just been shown to be
true In the army under extraordinary
circumstances has long been appar.
emit in civil life. In the period fol-
lowing the war, however, higher
training, both general and special, ID
evidently going to be a still more
necessary preparation for positions OF
leadership. A very large develop.
ment OF the applied sciences, espe-
cially engineering and agriculture, Is
bound to follow the demands made
on this country for Industrial and
agricultural products. Business Is
rapidly becoming professionali1ed
It's higher posts are being filled more
and more by those who have mastered
the science of administration, either
through practical experience or uni
versity study. The broad familiarity
with the social, economic, political
and linguistic achievements Of civil
igation which general college course
aims to impart. Is now especially val
liable to the men who will have to
help adjust the complex social prob
lens Of the next few years.
The opportunities for continuing
ones education at q minimum Of ex-
pense are now exceptional. Many
institutions have housing, or housing
and feeding facilities combined, de-
veloped for the s. A. T. c., which al
low them to make unusually low

Robbers Visit
Kathleen; Steal
Car And Other
ValuableS

Last night about two o'clock thieves
entered the Kathleen postoffice, To-
Gated in the general store Of Young
{ Prime, and ransacked the place, Sc
curing good supply Of ,edibles, an
overcoat, repeating shot gun and two
Smith & Wesson pistols. They at.
tempted to buglarize the safe, but
were only able to get the hinges off,
and never got any further. After
plundering the store and postofice,
they entered the garage of DR.. A. D.
Puterbaugh, just back Of the building
and stole the latter's Ford roadster.
The car is 1915 model, and bore
1919 license tag No. 1908 B. The en-
CINE number of the car is 7215a4.
The theft Of the car or the goods
from the store was not discovered
until about Z o'clck this morning
DR.. Peterbaugh has wired descrip.
ton Of his car to the authorities in
all nearby towns, and 1t will probably
be found soon. Aside from the car
be lost about $3.50 worth of instru.
ments, which he had in the machine
No one heard the thieves at work, bu
neighbors heard the car when it was
driven away but thought nothing o
it, as they supposed DR.. Puterbaugl
was going out on call. Every effor
is being made to run down the thieves
and it is hoped they will soon b
brought to Justice.
