He gives an impression of unusual alertness stead-
ness, precision, decision. He's the kind of a man
whom work worries. Perhaps the most re-
markable thing about him. in view of his youth and
consciousness Evidently he is bigger than his posi-

His Working Mind
Granted, then that the modern day corporation re-
quires its head veritabe truck horse for work. we
have here the prime requsites-namey, youth, ply
sque power steadiness. What else is needed!
The answer is-and that's the answer to the ques-
ton of this mans achievement working mind
Mr. Walker did not take credit to himself for having
one. In fact, arrived at a discussion of the sub
ject only indirectly and after a number of 1nconse
quential questions, which he answered good naturedy
but with pen held in hand and eyes dropping impa-
tenty and then to pile of letters which awaited
his signature
We were speaking Of colleges-Mr Walker is
graduate of Amherst class of 1S96-and their inhu-
ence good bad in fitting young men for success In
this practical age. A good many selfmade men OF
prominence have called the influence bad at least
unnecessary. Mr.. Walker says otherwise

sion is registered and retained. But the masterful
mind is the kind that give all its power to each
problem, and then quickly pigeonhole the matter in
very small mental recess, there hold it for future
use but not for present usurpation.
THAT is the ideal working mind, the kind that the
big corporations of to-day demand Of their chief Of
fcers. And" said Mr.. Walker ITO go back to where
started, believe that college course is perhaps
always necessary, but highly important, at least
in its development
-Four years of earnest study at the age when the
brain Is forming helps most to make working brain,
just mechanical apprenticeship makes skilful
hands You forget the things you learnand it Is best

THAT Is why / hold the old fashioned classical
course above the modern and more technical college

for the workaday world, that he can earn an Jim
mediate living in It, Perhaps that Is true; but is 1t
advisable to begin your life work with mind stuffed
stale with facts? And after ALL the greater problem
is, not how soon start, but rather how
high will he have gone ten years afterward.
81 simply claim that a working mind Is more Valu-
able possession than fact stuffed mind. The man
with the former is fitted to rise above the practical
and direct the latters knowledge and energies"

leaves his Office but his assistants do and the way
to court they lay all these details before him. omtng
Now, here's the point:-Mr. Choate's mind is such
and so finely trained that he is able swiftly absorb
what he wants and to forget all the rest forget 1t
swiftly and utterly so that he can concentrate alto
gether upon the essential the telling points,
"MOreover-and this Is important-he is able after

Itis often related of Mr. Choate that after the
say. in the evening at his club-and ask him what
1t all about.
Here is the apotheOss of the legal working mind
Consider what vast amount of highly important
work such man can do and do successfully. He Is
naturally leader. since his mind utilizes the work
of other working minds less highly trained.
$50 much for the great lawyer Now.~take the rail-
road president L. f. Loree, president of the DeIa-
ware and Hudson Company, mentioned prominently
as successor to the late e. H. Hartman is perhaps
the best representative.
Mr.. Loree's Opinion.
"NIr. Loree says that there new business
problems All have been previously and successfully
worked out. Why waste time and mental energy in
studying and analyzing them-why, above ALL waste

cerned? y
1.-The one novelty to-day in the business world
says Mr. Loree is the knack of handling many busi-
problems successfully in the briefest pOss
BILE time There is crying demand for minds trained
to do this; and the way to produce such working
mind is to learn how to forget.
You VIII find, believe that all men to-day In high
professional and business positions well cultivated

"By forgetting" continued Mr. Walker "I mean

A working mind. trained like finely organized ma.
chine to do and vast amount of mental labor
physique calculated to stand easily the excessive
tai strain and youthhese the great desiderata.
Herein lies the answer to the question of why did
they select him for president?'
1t is only fair to Mr. Walker and his people to state
that far from seeking this interview he did his

He has acquired, despite his youth that re-
markabe mental machine that the present day cor
poration must have to carry its burden of work.
There is another factor concerned-the legal train
ing Mr.. Walker had.
The legal profession to-day, never before In Its
history, is proving excellent stepping stone into
big Industrial positions. There many examples,
noteworthy among them Judge Gary, of the United
States Steel Corporation, and Judge r. s. Lovett the
successor to e. II. Hartman The list is very long,
ranging from a number of trust and railroad presi
denotes down to minor and subsidiary companies
whose names not well known, but whose chief
executives are lawyers and receive handsome SAL
aries.
The explanation Is simple. There so many re-
strlctions to-day-imposed for the part by re-
cent government legislatiep-that the president of
corporation, trust natural monopoy-or indeed of
any big industrial concern-must either be lawyer
himself else have legal counsellor constantly at
his elbow. This is particularly of railroad
poratons; the law undoubtedly helped Mr. Walker
up the ladder.
The fact that his father Aldace F. Walker, of Yer

member of the first Interstate Commerce Commission
and previously chairman of the Board of Directors of
the AtchiSon, Topeka and Santa Fe Raroad-may
may not have counted in the sons success A. II.
