Family & Early Life. During the Civil War, his Confederate grandfather died in a Union prison camp, and Union troops devastated the family plantation in Lafayette County, Miss. Quarles's father, a dentist, moved to Van Buren, Ark. As a boy, Quarles roamed the Ozarks, fished in mountain streams, applied an old country remedy when a playmate was bitten by a snake (the remedy: a raw-chicken poultice). He sang in his high-school glee club with bazooka-playing Arkansas Traveler Bob Burns, graduated at 15, then taught school for $50 a month. In 1912-16 he worked...

A schoolteacher's child can conceivably become a successful lawyer, and a winegrower's son, with luck and capital, may operate a thriving tractor agency. One can be hopeful - to a limit...
...great toothless millennium is not here yet, and all over the world little children are still having their nerves drilled out every six months, and are still biting their dentist's fingers in return. At Harvard, specifically, downtrodden College students are still faced with the problem of the third floor of the Hygiene Building...
