Ben D. Wood of Columbia
University Addresses
Mission Rotarians
(Special to The Herald)
MISSION. Sept. 3.—“The present
commercial and mechanical age
has outstripped the system of edu
cation completely” according to
Ben D. Wood of Columbia univer
sity. who spoke on the “Weakness
of the Educational System” at last
Monday’s Rotary luncheon. Mr.
Wood is a brother of A. Wayne
Wood, Brownsville developer.
According to Pro lessor Wood edu
cation must be placed first or all
else will prove ruin.
He placed emphasis on the need
of cooperation of parents with the
school authorities, citing the fact
that one of the present day alarm
ing tendencies is the noticeable lack
of parental control of the children.
“The traditional form of educa
tion has been hampered largely be
cause of the lack of proper educa
tion in the home ” he said. “The
child must obey his own desires
and impulses to become educated
education cannot be poured into
him. Individual genius is the most
precious thing we have.”
Talents have been lost for lack
of notice in youth,” he added, as
many of the great discoveries have
been made in the early age of the
individual.
Mr. Wood, who is visiting his
relatives here and in Brownsville,
gave a very convincing address, at
the close of which President Tracy
Card asked every Rotarian to make
himself a committee of one to keep
a lookout and talk with every boy
on the “back to school” movement

WARRIORS FOR LOST CAUSE
IN 37TH ANNUAL MEETING
»_
NACOGDOCHES. Tex. Sept. 3 —
UPh-A faltering band, scarred by
battle and marked with age, met
here today for the 37th annual
three-day convention of the Texas
United Confederate veterans.
It was a brave and pathetic rem
nant of a proud army, and this
town, understanding, prepared to do
it fitting honor. President Seale of
the chamber of commerce an
nounced to the Dallas Confederate
organization the sentiment felt
toward all the visitors.
"Their money." he said, “will be
as worthless as in reconstruction
flays, and nothing will be spared to
show the boys the time of thel;
lives."
The general himself—General J.
H. Summers—promised to head a
committee to meet the men who
went out to fight for a lost cause.
r=
and a program abundantly full
enough to meet the likes of ex-sol
diers was planned.
The first meeting of this reunion,
faintly touched by the inevitable
shado wthat will fall on some of its
participants before aribther oppor
tunity for such reminiscence comes,
was to be called to order by F A.
Beall, commander of Stone Fort
Camp No. 966. Sons of Confederate
Veterans. The United Daughters of
the Confederacy were represented.
