the First National Bank gave an
especially interesting talk to the
students. His speech was Of gen

business very creditably. His theme
was that success is not measured
by the amount of money you amass
but by the hard work, and the repu-
tation which you build. Money is
always an aftermath to success and
| always follows it. The only way to
gain success is by hard and inces-

and perseverance to stick 10 one
thing, with always a definite object
in view. These talks are Of an eS-
pecially helpful and instructive
nature and give the student body
