are there. Suffice it to say, how

Popular Lecturer
DR.. Milton w. Brown to Deliver Lee

A highly recommended lecturer will
speak in Alexandria, on Tuesday, jan
uary 18th. He is DR.. Milton W. Brown,
who has had long and uniquely sue
cessful career on the Lyceum and
Chatauqua platform. His subject will
be Putting the Edge in Education
and is particularly opportune at this
time, when think and indeed, unthlnk-
'ing. people. are realizing more and
more the value of education and, more
over, it is being stressed the coun-
try over. The fact that DR.. Brown is
said to be one Of those rare and pleas
ing speakers who gives you
something worth while and
at teh same time entertains
you makes this offering the more at
tractive. He has addressed and charm
ed every variety of audience from
educational institutes to training
camps, and has repeatedly been~asked
for return engagements. The auspices
under which Dr.. Brown comes here.
feel fully justified in urging their
fellow citizens not to miss hearing
him. If one is interested in the great
subject of education he will not need
to be uregd to hear the lecture, few
will admit that, still he would enjoy
hearing such an indisputably first
class lecturer. Tell your friends about

FORD AND MUSCLE SHOALS

1t seems that Henry ford IS
planning a city at Muscle Shoals
that is to- be seventy-tlve miles
long. SO far the Government IS
apparently OF the opinion 4 that 1
Ford's proposition to develop the
the power and relieve Uncle Sam
of all responsibility is the most
advantageous that has been offer
ed. We have already expressed
our opinion that Ford is one OF
the rare geniuses that appear from
time to time in one field or another
to accelerate the progress of the
human race. A genius is one to
whom the laws in his given
province are revealed without the
usual processes of the intellect. He
knows them in all their bearings
upon his work, intllitlvely. lie
reasons not from experience; he
draws his conclusions not by
1abored deductions from a syllog-
ism; his decisions are made with
lightning rapidity; he knows he
is right! Shakespeare understood
the hidden springs that move men
and women as no other mortal be-
fore or since; Napoleon knew the
absolute principles in moving large
masses of men; Beethoven pluck
ed from the realms OF silence the
innnutable laws of harmony and
and rhythm; NJ i c h e | a II 6 Ell 0
breathed spirit into the unhewn
stone; Raphael had the transcend
ent gift of form and color. But the
business geniuSeS OF the world
have developed in our own time
and generation. Rockefeller, Car
negie, the elder Morgan, James
Hill, Harriman;-ttese are the
giants that have wrought their
marvels in the modern world OF
business. We consider Henry
Ford TO be OF the same order. His
genius lies in his intuitive grasp
OF things. He could not tell you,
himself, how he arrives at his con-
illusions: he simply knows they
are right. Intuition is infalliblc;
it corresponds to instinct in an
finals. By some process now UNI
known and perhaps never to be
discovered, the human brain be-
comes conscious OF esoteric laws
and familiar with their applica-
ton. Mere talent and hard work
can accomplish much; can even
perform narvels. But the chaSm
between talent and genius is I'M
bridgeable. The difference is not
OF degree but OF kind.
We hope the Government will
award the contract to Ford. We
believe it will result i'll such a
stupendous achievement as the
world has not yet seen III the de
