mander Reads education was COM
pleted at Annapolis Naval academy,
and Mr.. Hollands at Harvard univer.
sity. where he graduated in 1906. But
there must be something in the stock
and something In the system which
brings it to pass so often that when
great things have been DONE or great
things are to be accomplished. and the
doer is necessarily forced into the spot
