Learn Perseverance
c. A. Balcomb of the Wausau Bust
ness Institute spoke on Business Me-
thods." Don't be doormat with the
word welcome on you or you will be a
sight for tired eyes after the public has
wiped its feet on you" he told the
business women. MAN is the only
animal that breaches -adnegation.
Every other creature holds up its head
and breaches what is in it. From
baby we ought all to learn a valuable
lesson. None other has his persever-
ence. If the little tot makes a mis-
take, what of it? When it falls down
only to bump its nose and hurt it's
face, perhaps the child cries but it
starts right in again. So, you see, we
ought to have the spunk of the baby.
There are number of idiots-the
one who lacks vitality, the one who
has nothing behind his ears and the
one who hasn't any will power. From
each OF these examples we ought to
learn lessons and accept them.
Seems Hard Work
"You can be within reasonble limits
what you want to be. Genius amounts
to SO per cent hard work. There is
only one thing the genius possesses
which you and do not and that is in
terest in his subject, such interest that
he eats it, thinks it, talks it and
breathes it. Nothing can come be-
tween him and this subject which alb
serbs him. If we want to stand above
the common herd we must develop
such interest that nothing can inter-
fere. People who are mediocre are
so because their one vital interest is
themselves. Everyone has dual per-
sonality, as he is now and as he is
going to be or what he wants to be.
Some business men may believe their
greatest desire is to accumulate monev
when as matter of fact their object
is leisure or to bowl 300 or something
of that sort"
Eleven New Members
The membership committee an
nounced that eleven new members had
been obtained and that there had been
six designations, three because of mar
riage and one because of leaving the
city The chairman of athletics, Miss
Beatrice Treutel, announced that a
basketball game would be played be-
tween the Business Women and the
Central school at the Y. M. C. A. on
April 18th Mrs. Jeanette Coates has
composed yell for the Business Wo-
men and Miss Amanda Bendixon will
lead the girls in roofing for their side.
The report of the music department
showed splendid progress. The pro-
ceeds of the recent old fashioned con-
cert given by this department makes
it possible for this branch to purchase
a share of stock in the club. The con-
cert, it was announced, will be put on
again in the near future. A rising
vote of thanks was given Mrs. Graft,
Miss Amanda Bendixon and the music
denartment for their work
The March number of the Indepen-

Wausau4 Have you heard of the
Business and Professional women of
Wausau, Wisconsin? Well, some day
if you live east Of Wisconsin and see

and good cheer. because they did not
have facilities for accommodating the
many more clamoring on their waiting
list. Otherwise they would have pro-

The Wausau Club was organized in

knows that expenses can more than
be cleared by cafeteria run to meet

plans. The ownership of the club
house is rapidly coming their way. AT
