of faithful service, but he betrays the
lack of it's spirit; and the latter is the
element that counts in the eyes of an
employer who is looking for a man who
can be relied upon to fill responsible
place." Mr.. Miller also says the de-
mand for young men OF more than av-
erage energy and soundness was never
SO great as today, and the rewards of
special ability and faithfulness were
never SO large and tempting as at pres
ent.
THOMAS Il. Bryan. ex-president of the
Worlds Fair, lawyer. capitalist, scholar
and man of affairs, presents many good
points on this subject. He thinks that
Chief among the causes which bring
positive failure or disappointing por-
ton of half-success to thousands of
honest strugglers is vacillation The
lack of undertaking application to one
pursuit is cardinal Weakness in the.
younger generation of toilers in almost
every line of effort. The young men.
who keep their eyes fined ON a definite
goal, never yielding an inch until their
! efforts are attended with absolute sue
cess, are not as common types as we
! might wish. Indomitable will is a quail
! ty of character that the young man of
I today may we'll afford TO consider and
eultivate.
lt is also my observation that uni

expressed in graeiousness of conduct
contributes, TO a larger degree than is
4 generally appreciated, 10 the advance
ment Of the young man who fosters this
4 trait. On the other hand. surliness and
even Indifference initiate against the
promotion of the one who is so unfortu-
nate us to allow these repellant forces
Ito influence his relations With Others
4 Politeness is so easy of requirement
and so protitably entertained that
1 marvel its cultivation receives so little
i serious attention. Certainly. the failure
rightly 10 prize this clement of charac-
K ter gives the key % many a life failure.
The disposition TO look on work as a
task to be thrown off at the earliest
\ possible moment is a too common fail
y ing. and is the reverse Of that stalwart
n faithfulness which attracts the atten-
tion and approval of employers and
gains promotion and advancement for
those who thus Identify themselves
with the interests of those whom they
4 serve
Generally there is an agreement in
j these opinions that is We'll worth the
study Of young men.
