The average man is brave The men who
are called upon constantly 10 face dangers
develop this characteristic more than those
not called upon TO risk their lives. The po-
lceman, the fireman and the soldier are
equally brave. To constitute bravery the
act must be one in which the man realizes
he is risking his life and also one in which
he could avoid and yet escape censure. An
act Of physical prowess does not neces-
sarly constitute bravery.
