different demands made upon him. He
must develop new brain mechanism, new
powers OF adaptation in order 10 succeed
as well as his father with the three RS
in much simpler circumstances.
The man of authority is be who has
solved his individual problem and under
stands his relation to the larger things OF
life. He is the man OF power. No one is
so weak as he who allowed his moral fibre
TO relax. Power Is developed through
ethical. not to say religious, principle,
which enables a man to face the world un-
abashed and unafraid, while standing in
the strength OF an honorable record and
high ideals. The great hope OF the nation
today is in the strong men and women
who are capa bic Of forcing the high ideals
of their Own lives into the lives OF others.
