Learn to Concentrate.

Concentration is the secret Of cor
rectness. We make mistakes when our
attention is divided. The young people
who are going into business should
never allow their minds to wander. Do
not read story and take part In the
conversation at the same time. II you
do not enjoy the lecture you are at
tending, listen to, it as If 1t were the
most fascinating theme In the world.
Whether the thing you are doing is Inn.
portant or otherwise, 1t is Of the utmost
Importance that you should learn to pin
down your attention and hold It un-
swervingly.

Makers OF Heroes.

Emerson says, 'Times of heroism are
generally times of terror" They show
true character. 1t seems that human
nature needs test to show the stuff
it's made of. Spirits of heroic mold
often lie dormant until aroused by q
mighty challenge. 1t seems as though
there is some militarism of the soul
that waits the fife call and the meas
ure Of the drum beat. Not fear but
lack of occasion keeps the latent might
unconscious of itself. But let the need
call and the sleeping giant rouses and

puppets of annoyance.
