She talked on The Value. of Personality in Business and explained the difficulties that face our young people going into business today. Some of the qualities necessary to secure positions are: appearance, manner of approach, speech, self-confidence, good health, intelligence, characteristics on job, character, ability to get along with other people, self-control, application in one's work, right attitude toward work, diligence, co- operation, and sympathy. Miss Engle thanked Miss Russell for her splendid talk and said that 62 per cent. of the people who lose their jobs, do so because they lack the qualities she had mentioned.
