Leadership important
Factor in Every Great
Enterprise or Movement.

An great movements, whether for
good or for evil. originate in the mind
OF some leader and so important is
this man that these movements are
often known for thousands of years by
his name. Christianity. Mohammedan-
Ism and the other great religions OF
the world bear testimony to this fact.
All great inventions and enterprises
not only have their origin in the mind
OF some leader. but they must be car

our leaders have been largely selected
at random. with the result that there
are In this country no generally ac-
