The Essentials ol: Success lt has occurred to me that the most essential equipment of the ex-stu- dent of today is rigorous self-discipline. 'llhat which leads to success is related to personal responsibility, adequate self-control and painstaking care to do the correct act. XVe live in an increasing- ly scientific and mechanistic age. Our physical strength is multiplied many times by pushing a button, moving a lever, mixing up a concoc- tion by chemical formula. XYe live in an increasingly complex age socially and politically. We are befud- dled by countless opinions of thousands of authorities. Vile are asked to take a I stand on questions ranging from neighborhood interest to world importance. VVe live at a time when morals are being exploded and sacred institutions are being attacked by the most astute minds of the earth. To use our newly developed physi- cal powers, to analyze the social prob- lems, to select what is best of the old morality and throw out what is im- practicable of the new challenges one's utmost ability. 'llo what degree is the ex-student of today efficient in this essential? One fact may help to answer the question. The American school represents the Page Sercix MR. R. M. DUFFIN, M. A.
