AfiE TWO D. Rockefeller Jr; Delivers Ills First Commencement Address At 1928 Commencement, Fisk University Declares Education's Purpose Is To Fit The Individual For Useful, Well Rounded Life And Not Merely To Make Money Success Nashville, Term. John D. Rockefeller speaking at the fifty fourth commencement exercises of Fisk University, the South's oldest reasons coles of Fisk University, the South's oldest col lege for Negroes, cited three reasons why he was delivering his first commencement day address at any institution. In giving his reason he also enunciated his' philosophy of the value and uses of money.

The first reason for his presence, he said, was "as a tribute of irlmiratinn in A er irA tt fit and women of the South; the second was "as an evidence of in terest and belief in the Negro race" and the third reason was to hon or a man. A Man of Broad Viiioa. "There is a man among you of broad vision, imagination, fearless, indomitable, high minded, able, whose hands I have counted it a privilege to help hold up," said Mr. Rockefeller. Ihave come here to honor him.

He is my friend, your leader, President Jones. "Some of you are, thinking as I stand before you what you would Ul' Willi iiic uiuiicy aissutiitica W1U1 the name of Rockefeller. Money in itself is lifeless, impotent, ster ile. A man with a thousand dol lar in orAA rn tVu, Hcrt mio die of hunger or of thirst, He might go mad and perish under the sun's rays, and the gold would not help him. Hut men.

with his Dram, Drawn, imaRination, using money as his' servant, may feed the hungry, cure the diseased, make the desert places to bloom, bring beauty into life. The world sadly needs men with trained minds, vision, integrity, trie spirit of service. We are always look ing for men of tthis kind. Your president is such a man. You will never have difficulty in getting rid of him.

There are a dozen op portunities that would be immedi ately be offered to him were he free. "And now you know the three real reasons which have brought me here. At this point I find myself greatly embarassid. I never made a commencement address in my lift; have no idea what one is ex pected to say on such an occasion, President Jones implied that brevity ic Sk artlinal virtiitli3 a4. vice I can follow.

To tell the rji. auaicau, a merely want 10 yio ponnd a single question and brief ly suggest an answer. Phthami nf VAnf ariAi! inis is the question: What is tbe purpose of Education? Ir is not to cram the mind with dates, as such information is; to make shrewd lawyers whose chief ainv Is to make money, last concern that justice be done; to turn out doc tors who reckon their success in it .1 .1 aouars couectea rarner man in suffering relieved, in human life saved; to train teachers who think of their profession sim ply as way of making a living; to fit men for a business rife that is sharp, slick, shady; to make tisans and agriculturists whose in' hours, maximum pay, minimum output Obviously, everyone should make a living and properly, edu cation ought to help to that end, but the chief end of existence Is not to make a living, but to make a me. way not wen or. men that the answer to our question is to fit the individual to live a use mat uiti inn ipif.

vriiuiii 'ii la ful, well rounded life in the envir Work Is Essential "A useful rife not selfish, un productive, wasteful, vicious, but a useful life that means service; jt one talent, use it well; if you have one talent, use it well; if you fiave ten talents, ten times as much is expected of you. The modern torrM flitnVc mtw rwf 5t rifrtita too little of its responsibilities. The first aim of education shnuld 1 be to fit one to live usefully, kquaily should enucatron ht one to live a well rounded life. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Work is essential' for everyone, but other things are needed also play, recreation.

love, worship, beauty, birds, flowers, sunsets, art, music, literature, duty, parenthood, citizenship, social. Education should fit one to lead a useful, well rounded life, but it will have failed of the complete accomplishment of its task unless it fits the individual to live such a life in the environment in which he finds himself, wherever, whatever that may be. It is easy to gay fiow useful, well rounded a Hfe we would live if we were Somewhere else. But education's problem is tor fit TiY to live that kind of a life where we are, wherever our 101 is can. Julias Rosenwald Speaks.

SMITH I i I Summer Complaint Summer complaint, intestinal intoxication, acute intestinal cholera infantum, summer diarrhoea, are all names for the same condition.

Breast feeding is the surest safeguard against the diarrhoeal diseases of summer. Even on tlie breast there may be difficulties. Over feeding is as dangerous as the opposite. Many mothers interpret every cry of the child as hunger or put the child to the breast frequently as a pacifier. This establishes a vicious circle, cry feeding indigestion cry.

Soon this is linked with vomiting, diarrhoe and fever. Whether or not to reduce the length of feeding ot increase the interval must be determined by your doctor. We may have to deal with under feeding on the breast which is easily remedied by the addition of a bottle. The point is that under feeding will cause frequent bowel movements and colic. Thirdly, in the matter of breast feeding is weaning in summer.

By far the greatest number. of, cases of summer diarrhoea occur in the bottle fed. This is due to (1) excessive heat; (2) overfeeding of proper milk formulae; (3) feeding of formulae of improper balance ol elements; (4) feed'1 PW rrtilk; (5) previous nutritional disturbance. All of theie result in lowered resistance which give bacteria a chance to grow and may lead to a true (6) infectious diarrhoea. W't are not concerned here particularly with this latter condition, Sufik Ut to say mai a iiu.icnu Mnpi al manifestations is not influenced by withdrawal of food, whereas in the diarrhoeas of food origin, stopping the food initiates improvement.

We spoke last week of heat. Summer heat produces its effects by (1) tr.e production of an excessive body heat because the change of heat is not well regulated; (2) excessive external heat dimin: ishes bodily function so that tht stomach and intestines do not act nrnn.rtr Thi reduces (3) bodilv immunity power to withstand dis ease producing organisms; inus yv hartrrial growth. Diminish ed function, lessening of immunity and thus increase ot stisceptimmy to disease is also produced, even in the absence of summer heat, by im proper feeding over a long period ot time. What constitutes improper feeding? The answer to this varies witt the individual. Speaking by and nf bottle fed babies, the first offender we wish to mention is con densed Why? (1) Because it is used most of ten without advice of guidance of a physician.

(21 Because ts excessively nign in sugar, which though readily absorb ed needs for its retention, water. This is why the condensed milk fed baby is fat He is not fat in the true sense but water logged. Thus a slight infection with diarrhoea means sudden and great loss ol body weight. And as the child's resistance has been impaired meanwhile, it succumbs quickly. (3) Eves mir rntvh nwH milk is diluted to proper sugar proportions it' is "till very dertective in proxein comem fliot rlmwnl of trw food without which there can be no substantia) growth.

Then we have improper formulae of cow's milk. The solution I ere must be left to your doctor. The child may be overfed in anvmnt This causes excessive strain on the digestive organs and bodily chemistry metabolism the process br which the food having been absorbed is converted into tissue or bodily tissue is broken down into waste products. Regarding improper proportion of the element of the milk fat, sugar and protein the error here most often i too much surar or fat. In general with summer, re .1.

a auce me amount oi tooa given uw child. In case of fever, vomiting, diarrhoe? and prostration your job. as mother is dearly defined as follows: 1 Stop all food. 2. Give water.
