SCHOOL MEN MAKE ADDRESSES

cipal Graf Speak Sunday
at Y. M. G. A.

The crying need in the business world
Is the qualities that make men. Honesty,
energy. tact, application, punotuality and
many other qualities are what employers
say their men lack in too many cases, and
II a man has these the world is waiting
for him with open arms"
This was the idea Principal Ellis U.
Graft of the Omaha High school expressed
in an address to men at the Young Mems
Christian association Sunday afternoon. His
subject was Character and Character
istics."
Modern institutions OF learning are top
heavy aud one-sided." said the speaker. I'm
the present striving after high mental Gull
ture character is inclined to be sighted. 1t
is left for the individual to cultivate and
develop, so a personal obligation is placed
upon each one OF us.
1T is as easy to develop yourself along
lines of good character as IL is to go
through life in a slipshod manner. The law
OF processes is the secret of character Gull
ture. Like learning to play a piano, to Gull
tivate the right kind Of characteristics one
must practice these characteristics until
they are cultivated. The mere desire is
all right, but It is not sufficient. Go TO
work on the characteristic you want II a
man wants to be benevolent he must be

him"
Taking humility as a characteristic held
up by Christ, Franklin and Shakespeare as
one to be praised. Principal Graft asked
the question, Does this quality suit the

argument showed that although meekness

highest realization of character.
Taking the enumeration of the king-be-
coming qualities found in the third act OF
Macbeth, the speaker stated that after a
careful study Of famous historic characters
by one of his classes in English literature
it was found that only one man aside from
Christ measured up to the standards OF
Shakespeare, and that man was Abraham
Lincoln.
What is It that makes men great? Is II
the call of the times, or some other equally
accidental fortune that raises men TO tho
height of fame and greatness?' In repiy
to these queries by himself Prof. Graft de
