Poaaibly the miwl important re. qulslte "of leadership ta knowledge. Th first type of knowledge that la needed for leadership la technl cal knowledge. The student I given th opportunity to apeclal Ue in some field of work if he o desires, or h may take coume which prepare him for life. In either case It la the duty of a student while attending school to learn as much as possible, for upon his assimilation of knowledge during school days depends his success In future years. He must know his work better than his competitor In order to be a leader. Th world respect mental astute ness and brilllanrv. Some men larklnr other qualities have yet been leaders because of a colossal Intellect. Thi rails to mind the case of Steinmet, the electrical wlrard, who was a genius through sheer mental brilliancy. During his student days his greatest de light lay in the solving of knotty mathematical formulas. His work became a passion with him and he surps-ssed his instructors with re markable ease. As a consulting member of the staff of the Gen eral Electric company, Stelnmets prepared the way for numerous inventions of great value to the people. Mutt Know Human Nature Rarely, however, does a person become a leader who secludes himself and does not enjoy the society of others. It is necessary to have that common touch, an understanding of his fellows. It is seen, therefore, that a know ledge of human nature is essen tial to leadership. The student, if he is on the alert, can find a school of human nature all about him in the rooming house, the classroom, the student activities, and the social world. He can ad vance in his understanding of people through observations and contact. Edgar Guest, although criticized by many as a versifier rather than a poet, has a wide knowledge of human nature. The subject of human nature is fur ther discussed under the heading of tact and poise. Perhaps a quality that might be placed next in importance to knowledge Is initiative. The abil ity to go ahead and accompnsn things constitutes this quality. Henry Ford began life as a poor boy, but by his initiative he built These Demure Frocks are Darlings of e ...... a 4L - i - - -a And all because they're so bewitchingly young, so spring-like in the way they flaunt a cape or a flare or a ruffle.

Walter S r.tfford. who la the president of the American Tele phone and Telegraph company, t one of the outstanding figure In the new eia of busineaa. Yet he began hi buiiinr.ia career a a clerk in the employ of the Weatern Electric company. One could go on and mention numerous ex amplea of leadera of the present day who have .iiircrerded because of lhlr coinage. Of course, these men possessed other qualities alto, but these qual ties would not have been of grenl valu unless they were upplemented by courage. Henrtty Neeenary Honesty ha always been con sidered a requisite for leaderahip. A student will never be able to get others to follow him unless and until they hav implicit faith in hi integrity. The importance of honesty is " too often disre garded when the qualities com posing leadership are discussed. Magnetic personality Is the su preme gift which sttracta follow ers as a micnet does penny nails. AH of us have a personality of some kind, because we all have "outward expressions of our In ner selves." In order to be a leader one reeds a compelling per sonality. F Stanley Jones, the great evangelist to India, displays this quality remarkably well. By the very force of his personality, he guides the spiritual lives of his followers. Although one may excel In other qualities of leadership, unless he has that quality of per sonal magnetism, his range will be limited. Graham McNamee has become the premier of radio an nouncers In-muse of the magnetic enthusiasm of his voice as he re lates the details of a stirring foot ball game or visualizes for us the excitement of a poliUcal conven tion. Sense of Humor A sense of humor is the salt that seasons life. Many leaders have found that not only a soft but a wittv answer "turneth away wrath." This quality is usually a precious heritage, but by patient endeavor it can be acquired. Will Rogers has employed his sense of humor for the benefit of our gov ernment in times of need. His un official goodwill trip into Mexico marked the beginning of cordial relations with that turbulent country. Boundless energy that fairly crackles with the electricity of en thusiasm is a by-product of su perb health. One unconsciously follow a person racuaxing pcysi- cal energy. Theodore Roosevelt s father realized that his son s lacK cf good health would be disastrous to anything the future might bold for him. He therefore placed good health first in his boy's life until young Theodore gained a strong resistance to disease.

Th following illustration show quite clearly the result of thia quality. Somewhat more than flit v year a to a little Dutch boy came to thia country with hi ' family to make a home, lit education wa extremely limited; in fact, it was almost negligible. Yet by aome curious decree of fata, this lad was destined to write for a period of years to the largest body of readers ever ad dressed by an American editor, i His services ss sn editor, suthor, and philanthropist are Intematlon-, ally known and recognired. His j recent death has deprived the na-1 Hon of one of her most valued j clilsens. In analyzing the reason for hla ' success, one quality Is found to be supreme, that of perseverance. It was perseverance that led him from a lowly station in life to a position commanding the respect of the world. Edward Bok, donor of the one hundred thousand dol lar Peace plan of the Bird Sanc tuary containing the famous Sing-, ing Tower, ts the little Dutch lad : who climbed the ladder of leader ship and success through persever ance. Service Is Important Then service is necessary for leadership. This simply means the act of helping others. Her bert Hoover, who served as food administrator during the late war, rendered great service to human ity by feeding the starving Bel gians, and by alleviating their sufferings in other wsys. Herbert Hoover, however, is not the only personage who has given hia time and effort for the wel fare of the nation. The educators, for instance, are constantly ren dering service. Angelo Patri, one of the foremost pedagogues in America came to our shores as a poor immigrant boy. He has served ignorant immigrants by hia understanding of their problems, and he has given a great deal of his time to the betterment of their conditions. By unselfishly giving of his time and efforts to the helping of others, the student will be able to develop a distinct type of leadership.
