TACIKLING THE DUMMY Various symbolic figures ranging from the Classical Muses to the capped and gowned figures of our own day have been employed to typify the school student. A more modern, characteristic, and typical figure, however, than that of a football player tackling a dummy is difficult to find. Every examination, every knotty problem, every temptation, every campus activity is a dummy to be tackled. The speed and earnestness with which the- Tackler hits the stuffed image gives him something of the thrill of combat. With jaws set and muscles tense he plunges at the figure. To him for the moment it is the man carrying the ball-he must stop him. TACIYLING THE JOB As clever as the symbol of the Tackler might be, it is worth nothing unless it impels you to get the spirit of the Tackler into your work. The Ministry, Medicine, Teaching, Engineering, Business-all of these are in need of men who can help score touchdowns, men who can tackle their job with something of the sid and earnestness exemplified by Tackler. The player is coached in tackling the dummy in order that he be able to stop a living figure, a figure who is striving earnestly to evade those strong arms. So, too, the Job thrusts problems and situations upon you that require greater thought and earnestness to cope with than did the dummy problems and situations in school. Page fwelve
