by good club acquaintance. In its
social aspect the influence of the club
cannot but help to make manlier men,
nor TO teach them the value Of those
trifling incidents that go to make inter-

realizes the Importance of poIiteneSs in
everyday life, has done much to equip
himself for the position which his
abilities and his opportunities afford
him.
