M-Qi ass---94: GI ly e S 1 u i n r :b444--m::--+- - - - 1--ffidcw STEPS T0 SUPREME POWER By Helen Emery Austin Emerson once said, Self-knowledge, self-reverence, self-control, 'these three alone lead men to supreme power. As the boy is father of 'the man who is to aspire to supreme power, one should be- gin in his youth to develop these three characteristics. Consider first self-knowledge. Altho it has been said that people know less about 'themselves 'than about anybody else, no normal person can help knowing his natural tendencies, 'talents and apti- tudes. Knowing these, he should de- velop a desire to use them to serve oth- ers, so that when need arises for the things he can do, he will offer his serv- ices. Ability is like the widow's barrel of meal-the more of one's ability he puts into action, 'the more he has left. In other words, the more one will do. the more he can do-and the more he will be askt to do. This practice can well start right in high school-or even bu- fore. If a pupil knows, for instance, that his long suit is selling tickets, he should offer to aid along this line when- ever entertainments come along. If he can print, there is always a demand for posters and other forms requiring print- ing. If he has a knowledge of transpo- sition of music, he may often come in handy when parts are printed for an in- strument in another key from that of the instrument in the school orchestra. If one has imagination in making effective costumes at small cost, there is need for her in the occasional productions that are put on in the school. And all these things bring recognition and more work to the one doing them. Know yourself, and develop capacity. -'Nl 5 As to self-reverence, a man cannot re- spect himself unless he knows he is up- right in all things. A slump in sell'- respect is a symptom of spiritual under- nourishmentf' Considering oneself, as he should, but an instrument of God. one should make it his policy to instil into his character traits that are strictly godlike-clean, wholesome and wholly admirable. Believe with King Arthur that Man's word is God in man, and therefore hold as sacred all trusts plac- ed in you. This means to be depend- able, prompt, truthful, loyal. Again, advocate justice seasoned with mercy. Desire to see justice rendered to all, even your enemies-or your rivals in athletic and scholastic activities-and enfnulalc Jacob Riis, who said, Never convict a man on circumstantial evidence. li' a schoolmate is late in meeting you the first time you make an appointment with him, don't condemn him-it may be an exception 'to his usual rule of conduct, .ind he may have a perfectly good ex- : use. Self-control is a knotty problem for some people. Some are handicapt by red-plush tempers, but they should real- ize that the man who covers his fellings and speaks carefully forges ahead in the world. About the best advice to peo ple endowed with quick tempers is the well-worn caution to think before you speak. Think up a respectful answer for your superiors-this includes teach- ers-and conciliatory replies for others -like schoolmates. True, some of the outbursts of temper of famous men have been awarded space in history: but they were usually justifiable, and the celeb- rities who gave vent to 'them had 'the other 'two qualities which help mold men for supreme power-self-know- ledge and self-reverence. 1+
