Manual training in reformatories is
valuable influence. Men are often
driven to crime. not because there is
no work for them TO do, but because
they are not fitted to do any kind Of
work. They have not had the train

There is good reason why the leader
In an exploit such as Hobson's should
be given special credit. for experience
tells us that he must have Inspired his
men by his example. 1t is so also with
other leaderships besides those OF war.
These who follow may be as brave as
the leader after they get started. but
they have not his initial courage or
they would start without him. The
leaders In great social and political
reforms start out usually under most
diseouraging circumstances. but they
have faith and courage. and finally
through their persistence gather few
followers whom they inspire by their
example. When success crowns their
efforts their supporters are entitled to
credit. but the chief honors fall natur-
ally to the leaders. without whom the
movement would not have been under.
