MT. EdWdrd L. HdWk

R TITS piercing brown eyes flash.
 IH ing with a determination to
 0 0 put his work before the world and bring the world to see that better conditions can be ob- tained by a kindlier feeling from man to man and the reciprocity be- tween the man and his job, MT. Ed ward L. Hawk said yesterday:
 Ninety per cent of the everyday workers of the world are misfits; the whole subject of analyzing hu- man character which Is my work, is to turn the ratio directly around and make 90 per cent of the every day workers successful.
 AS to the employers side-there is always coming up between the em- ploye and the employed, questions ot difficulty, brought about mainly be- cause of a misunderstanding of indi- vidual characteristics, and in tfsN schools where so much of our work is to be done effectively we hope to see analysts in all our school de- partments who will lay out the course for students so as to develop the predominating natural talents of each child and keep him from en- terfng the wrong course of study or business. This we believe will put stop to the 80 per cent of children who never get any further than the eighth grade as a foundation; the other large per cent who never get further than the high school and the rest who never see inside of coll 1ege.
 Being teacher was what prompted my pursuance of the sub feet of 'Analyzing Human Character, which is entirely different from character analysis, because the latter includes inanimate things, stones and rocks as well as human things. 1 discovered, as I said before, the tre- mendous percentage of students who drop off after the eighth grade had been achieved and l began to try to fathom the cause. Then later l went into salesmanship and here 1 found that the same discouraging, unsatisfactory. things obtained; then books and the publishing of them attracted my attention and every line pursued the same discontent and the same restlessness was visible.
 Finally, I accepted the charge of salesmanship of the Knox Business company, and in addition I delivered lectures for the salesmanship school

pie are good than bad. or just the other way?" I asked cautiously.
 T can answer that in the lines of the verse which says:
 - There is so much bad in the best
 of us
 And so much good in the worst of us That 1t little behooves any of us To speak i'll of the rest of us.'
 "Of course our classes are made up mostly of intelligent people, those with highly developed sense of the good above the evil, but even in the lowest types, if we probe deep enough we find good.
 The mission of Analysing Human Character is threefold; First, for people to find themselves; second, to know themselves, and. third. to un- derstand their neighbors.
 ITO curb the predominatlng ten dencies and turn the mind and heart into the right channels is our mis- sion. Every undeveloped person is classified in his particular type; he thinks true to type and he acts as he thinks; so by recognizing a type we can definitely decide how that type thinks and following that, how the type acts.
 "'As a man thinketh,' comes to us from the Scriptures and as this is a fundamental and we work with fundamentals, our work Is founded on just that line of thought
 "I find that am pioneering in my work in Birmingham for there are few who have paid any especial att tention to 1t. yet my classes when l was here a short time ago numbered 75 in the afternoon classes, and 60 in the evening classes.
 "The Analyzing of Human Char aoter has nothing whatever to do with psyche analysis, but 1t envel- opes psychology, which plays a large part in our work.
 ITO get people placed right is what our work aims at, and if we can get people to understand that there won't be any lawyers working at the blacksmith's trade. or stenog- raphers working at music. or book keepers working at banks, or bod carriers working at art. In other words, every man will recognize his work when he sees it through anal yzing human character. and not only recognize his own work, but helR his fellow man to recognize his"

 MAN NEAR MOBILE
Body of Edgar RuiSe Foundin River-DempSey Is Held
 on Suspicion

Mobile, April -6Speola)--Fol- lowing the finding of the body of Ed gat Ruise, age 23 years. in Mobile river this morning. County Solicitor B. B. Chamberlain and Coroner Ste phen F. Hale immediately began an investigation to determine the cause of his death
 Last Saturday morning telephone message was received at police head quarters from one of the crew of the Warrior river barge, Tuscaloosa that a man was chasing another on the ship with meat axe. On arrival at the vessel the officers arrested C. H. Dempsey, of Jasper Alabama, an oiler on the vessel. on the strength of information given by other members of the crew. Pending investigation Dempsey was held and when Ruise failed to appear after the incident on the ship, Dempsey was held without bail pending the appearance of the missing man.
 Dempsey, seen in hls cell at police headquarters today, was told that Ruise's body had been found floating in the river. He denied having had trouble with Ruise or chasing him with meat axe, declaring they were friends.
 That relatives of Ruise believed he was dead was evidenced from the fact that J. k. Ferguson, of 62s St., Maurice street, New Orleans, called at the office of pr. Hale, coroner, on Monday and asked this official that in event Ruise's body was found to send it to New Orleans for burial.
 County Solicitor B. B. Chamberlain stated today that the grand jury had summoned all the witnesses tn the case who witnessed tho trouble on the deck of the vessel last Sat- urday.
