Dr. Cadman of New York City brought a strong message to the Wednesday evening session of F a r m e r s' Week. Long before he began his noteworthy address on " T he the gymnasium for Democracy", Outlook was packed to the doors. Dr. Cadman went on to say that states men who urge the United States to main isolation are in tain a policy of national to govern our country; tellectually unfit Page 292 The M. A. C.

Foresters out culture The M. A. C. Record Page 301 To the W man out of college ten years TWO M EN stood on t he s t e ps of a f r a t e r n i ty house on the Sunday evening before Commencement. Said one of t h e m: "A college man ought to earn as m a ny thousand dol lars a year as t he number of years he has been o ut of college." Said the other: " T h at sounds fair enough. Let's keep in touch with each other and see how it works o u t ." At the end of the second year one of them was earning #40 a week, while the other was earning 335. At the end of their fifth year one was earning 36,000 a year, the other 34,000. At the end of their tenth year one was earning 312,500, the other 35,000. W hy did o ne m an stop ? Something happened in that five year period; what was it? The same thing which happens to many thousands. The 35,000 man got into a department of a business (it happened to be the engineering department; but it might as easily have been sales, or accounting, or advertising, factory or office management, traffic, or any of the others). He became pro ficient in the work of that depart ment—so proficient that he built a wall around himself. He knows too much about that one depart ment, and too little about theothers, ever to get out. The other man realized that large success demands a capacity for using and directing the work of other men. He will never know as much about any department as his friend knows about engineering. But he knows enough about all depart ments to employ others and to profit by their work. This case is not exceptional. Take the statistics of a typical class of a great university.
