Because I've always accomplished

calls me lucky. As n boy ! was laugh
ed at. finally ran away to New
York, and my first job paid SO. But
| gave Sc worth of service. And that
has been my key to success. always
gave more than got. My employers
knew that when had thing in hand
it would be carried out successfully.
Often during rush hours stayed a
lone ut the office until after ten. No
one else knew it. ] never had to tell
my boss | wasn't paid enough, and
never had to ask for raise. 1t came
unasked. Today can command my
own price. Do you call that luck or
grit?"
Young man or young woman, if
you aren't delivering the goods for
your employer, then why aren't you ?
If you resigned tomorrow couldn't
he get hundred more of the same
caliber, no better, no worse?
Why not lift yourself above the
average? Do your work SO that he
would have to try a hundred befo"
he could get another like you. Then
you'll be in a class by yourself.-j d

Institutions of learning cannot neg
lect the moral education of their stud
ents. Each year universities of learn
ing are placing more Importance up
on the moral training Of students than
they have ever done before. Many
men are efficient economically, but
cramped intellectually. The culture
of the world of thought into which
they have been born, the work of
great minds for past ages, is but a
blank.
We can teach mathematics as q
cold, reasoning science, but not as

that is enduring is that set on fire by
pressure. Nevertheless, it has been
produced countless times by a mere
everyday touch.
It is, therefore, necessary that the
