have been dealing in education and
educational matters. | have been &c
so many schools and associated with
so many college presidents and profess
sors until / am just feeling like my
head is larger than my body, and l
believe it is, but / do not want to get
that big head disease, for there is no
cure for It. If horse gets the big
head they kill him, and if man gets
the big head he dies at his own hands.
God help me to keep my head down.

few days at Kittrell, North Carolina,
at Kittrell College, and was the direct
