these qualities VIII help you to keep
these tools IN disable condition.
Certain elements appear IN your
education which prepare you for offec-
tive work and service-for efficiency.
Not the least among these II the physl-
cal education taken In the broadcast
sense. ! am almost assuming that
enough Is done to keep you In good

has said that in the life failures he
has witnessed the only cases of hone
less ruin have been those In which the
body has first been ruined through neg

and caring for and improving ME body
can not be too strongly urged To
girls and boys who look squarely into
the future this becomes solemn moral
duty. In your course at Kamehameha.
the coordination Of the hand and the
eye, the response of the muscle to the
call of the mind. should be carefully
developed Indeed the skill of the best
mechanics consists in the sure cooper
alive action OF the practiced hand and
the practiced eye. The locomotive en-
gineer and the motorman must have
steadiness of mind and alertness. With
them as with many other workmen,
there must be a very brief interval be-
tween the sight of a signal or of an
object on the track and the action
which is demanded. Our girls espe-
cially should know the principles of
personal hygiene and public SANTA
ton. Our medical profession now knows
how to combat and to sninimize fever.
diphtheria and tuberculosis. The homes
which Kamehameha girls are going to
make should be protected in health.
They should know how to prevent the
destructiveness of these and similar
diseases. If you can keep your family
In health, you will do a great deal to
keep it in money and in happiness.
The next quality which ought to take
root here and which will aid You in
whatever you are doing or wherever
you are is persistence. It's a great
help even to the dullest tool. 1 have
in mind several men. They have repu-
tation. friends, the respect of the pub
lie. the warm regard of fellow-work
men. People have confidence in their
estimates and judgments. They are
authorities in their respective lines.
The question arises how have they won
their place? 1t is not because of nat
ural ability; no, there are men on ev-
cry hand who are more able and more
brilliant who have no name or fame |
outside of their small circle There |
are men in inferior places who took |
higher rank in school and college. |
What then is it? 1t is the cost of the |
achievement, the price which the win
ner has been willing to pay for the I
victory-a price indeed that other men
have been unwilling to pay. Nothing
in this world is obtained without pay
nent to it's full value In starting out
in his career the man who lexpects to
win selects his goal, and his aim never
his gaze never swerves from
the objective point, nor do his feet ever
wander from the path which he has
marked. He has determined to excel
In his work. 1t takes more time more
thought, more personal absorption in
the work, but the result has proved to
be worth all that he has given to 1t.
Heart, soul, conscience have been put
INTO every task so that each succeeding
me has been an advance until he has
won the coveted place at the head OF
he line and is the acknowledged lead
n. A president of a large railroad
was once telling a friend
II the difficulties of getting enough
men of right sort. He was asked what
lie meant by the right sort. He said
If one kind of man, you tell him to do
| certain job which will require some
weeks and possibly months; he comes
back to you and gives you a number Of |
EXCELLENT reasons why he has not done

many difficulties about that job. 1t has ,
AIKEN me longer than 1 expected, but !
he job is done. Now, said the railroad /,
men, 1 have no use at all for the first a.
lind of men, but can't get enough of ,
he second. That is persistence which :
arms a reward.
Perhaps the best milestone that you :
an have for all your tools is character :
