the capacity 10 handle the work Of
the laboratory or seminary, will be If
; ; iEne GUreable value to you IL HAND
Ing the real problems Of life.
Tie next quality with which We
have to deal is that of leadership, that
IS. the capacity not only 20 work out
lIcblems aione, but the capacity to
work il cooperation with othe- men
and to lead them. This qua;icy is &C.
pendelt L. a large degree u3on one's
! CAPACITY te see the other fell. ,w-s
p2ir.' Of view. One who has charge
Of men Glould be a chief IN the best
eehs"' the word. Such a maa meets
the lowest with no trace of conde-
| scension, he meets the highest with no
trace of serVinty. All men are seen
with level eyes.
Worker Must Have Courage.
Many men who have the qualities
! Of leadership in the sense that their
ideas are in advance Of those prevail
ent, lack the courage to adhere TO
them in the presence Of opposition.
They are controlled by their fears.
They nave not the courage to say:
Ihis is the right course to pursue;
| this problem has been solved cor
Fectly; l shall proceed. They say:
1t seems to be to be the right thing
! to do, but Mr.. Blank gives many rea-
sons against the proposed course, and
am afraid Or if an ENTERPRISE be
| entered upon, some obste Gle arises =;
suCng opposition is met. Instead of
| stitening in their plan, calling all the
| faculties, knowledge, and capacity 10
! deal with men into play, they y:e!d
! their purpose. But obstacles exist t.,
| be overcome! When one has a
! righteous cause opposition should only
| make him more determined and re-
sourceful in the pursuit Of the end
/ sought.
'lt Is common maxim that if is
5 easier to destroy than to build up. It
! Is equally true that it is easier to %.
pose than to favor a departure flrn
| regular procedure. But all progress
! consists in departures. 1t is easy to
find men who are against many things,
| but hard to find men who are for
! many new things and who will labor
for these things with all the energy
Of their natures.
