would be found that persistent labor
was largely responsible for their ise
But industry to succeed must be intelli-
gently directed. That r vast amount of
energy is wasted today, not culy by peo-
pie but in mechanical c1ntrivances.
He said that people of high attainment
were modest and approachable, it being
unnecessary for them TO pretend as they
We're the real thing" Sympathy and
faith were also important factors in get

ideals and aspirations
