 OBTAIN SUCCESS
So University President Tells Business WOmen's Club in Address-"Be an Expert" He Advises

An all-round knowledge. an entirety of devotion to the cause, will not suffice to. make woman a success in the world of affairs today. She must be more than that-she must have per sonality and Individuality to dedicate to the solution of the problems of the day.
 This was the statement made by pr. R. B. von KleinSmid. president of the University of Arizona, before the Busi- ness and Professional Woman's club last evening. There were 100 women at the club supper who gave their undivided attention to the speaker, who discussed the demands made on the woman in business and in pro- fessions.
 An exactness of knowledge is one of the requirements, said Dr. von KleinSmid who declared that business asked even more than efficiency, de- manding of women it does of men that they give their whole heart and devotion to the cause.
 At this point the university head paid compliment to the audience by asserting that when it came to re- quiring sacrifice and devotion he would place the woman ahead of the man.
 In his introduction. he reminded the club members of the new standards for men and women which resulted from the war. He spoke of the birth of ambition. holding that the purpose
 
 vicable, if anything is to be accom- plished. "The curse of America has been it's mental slovenliness,' said Dr. von KleinSmid. who believes that the people since the war have recovered from slovenliness and laziness to a surprising degree.
 He believes that the men and women have taken a new grip on things and that business and profession will not tolerate the degree of efficiency which was recognized in 1917.
 To Succeed, Be An Expert
 ''To succeed one must be an expert. An employer can secure 10000 medi- ocre persons where he can get but 10 experts. You must be able to perform just a little better than the other man or woman or you will be outdistanced. The thing business demands is an ex- actness of knowledge. Know all there is to know about something and be sure your knowledge is right" The speaker urges the women not to consider their work a paStine, but to give themselves to it and to be conscious of what they are trying to do and what all others are striving to do. This he said was another of the war lessons that of unselfishness.
 You will not be a success unless you are more than a business or pro- fessional woman. You must give to the people of the community, lending your Individuality to solve the relig- ious. educational and social problems"
 Dr. von KleinSmid was enthusiasti- cally greeted and his talk was received with the keen attention that is always given him. He, as usual, injected many amusing little stories into his address, which brought him close to his audience. He was introduced by Miss Leila Seaman, president of the club.
 The meeting was also notable for the fact that the first issue of the club [ hfIl1efiv dtSfp f1o members.
