These qualities were developed, year by year, through intelligent direction. The Colonel's father was largely re sponsible for the great American's remarkable career his example taught the boy self-assertion, self-reliance, personal independence and integrity. This month's Cosmopolitan publishes a startling analysis of Roosevelt's character by Doctor X and related by Harvey O'Higgins in "Yourself and You." He tells of the boyhood incident that prompted Roosevelt to learn how to box. Why the Colonel went into politics. Why Roosevelt was a poor judge 'of men. Why he was called "Teddy" and why he liked his nickname. There's a wealth of new light on Roosevelt in this new article. There are valuable suggestions as to how you may yourself use the same theory Roosevelt employed to overcome apparently insurmountable diffi culties and, better still, how you may help your son to grow up to be the kind of a man you want him to be. Get the new Cosmopolitan today and read the conclusions reached by Doctor X in his study of the life of one of the greatest Americans. uv .
