His dual personality may be explained by newly

his father-the itinerant medical man from
whom John D. gained his earliest knowledge
of business principles.
ITO my father owe great debt in that he
himself trained me to practical ways" John D.
says "He was engaged in different enterprises.
He used to tell me about these things, explain
ing their significance; and he taught me the
principles and methods of business"
A hint of what these principles and methods
were was once given by "Doc" Rockefeller to an
Ohio crony: 81 want to make my boys sharp.

in his autobiography in Cosmopolitan, makes
this statement that may be taken as the keynote
of his career:
81 fully expected to become the kind of country
lawyer saw all about me, spending my life in
the profession, with perhaps final place on the
Bench. But it was decreed to be otherwise.
Some Power that little suspected in my stu
dent days took me in charge and carried me on
from the obscure neighborhood at Plymouth
Notch to the occupancy of the White House"
In July Cosmopolitan this man who was led
through dramatic scenes to the highest place in
national history, recalls events of his boyhood.
We see him in the sugar camps; in the sheep
shearing; in his first trip away from home. His
tasks seemed to him common ones and yet
through it all we see destiny at work.

him to the Presidency you must follow, his
