Self-control Is the quality moat needed
in human nature today, and the ono
moat rarely found.
Jurt In the decree that a human beinK
develops the power of elf-contrr4 he ap
proaches divine power.
Just In the degree that a human lieln
Is self -Indulgent. o ho wanders away
from the divinity which Is within hlm
elf and fi din every high attainment that
la worth while.
Self-control means the conervatlon of
all the powers of mind, brain and body,
and the ability to use those powers suc
cessfully for any high purpose.
Self-indulence niena the scattering of
all'theso forces at. their ultimate de
struction. ; Self-control should be taught first In
the cradle and In the nursery. Instead,
parents, nurses, Rovernesees and teachers
usually find it less taxing to encourage
their Charges In eelf-indulg-ence than to
teach them self-control. The chfld who
screams for his bonbons or his toys can
be taught self-control by being left alone
nntll he wears out his mood, and later
(.an be reasoned with and made to un
derstand the benefit which will result
from self-control. But such guidance and
teaching are taxing to the elders, and
therefore majority of children grow to
adolescence and maturity without having
been so taught.
-One possessed of powers of observation
and who has made any study of human
nature must wonder that so many de
cent hi. man beine.8 exist in the world
with so little assManco and guidance. In
the direction of self-control during early
youth.
The control of the appetite In child
hood and early youth Is the first step
toward self-control; the control of the
mind In the h-ibit of study is the next
step to thoroughly master one lesson be
fore another Is began, no matter how
long the time gien to the attainment
of this end is of the utmost importance
ir, the shaping of a child's character.
But how many parents and how many
teachers direct their energies to this end.
Our school destroy the powers of
concentration und lead away from self
control. Children enter our kindergartens
almost invariably possessed of wonder
ful powers of concentration. They leave
high sot-.ool with very little of this qual
ity remaining. The Bible lells us that
"he who overtometh Is greater than he
who taketh a city." The greatest re
wards are promised to those who over
come. Self-control in Us fullest sense means
the overcoming of nil that Is weak and
Ignoble in their nature and the develop
meno of all that is highest and best. It
is never too la'e to begin the attain
ment of self-control.
What Trait Do You Most
Admire in a Man?
Amt '"''jf'" ' ''ww-
I ':r-' 5
J By '"ADA PATTERSON.
jfcWhat trait do you most. aOmlre In- i
man?" a magazine Is asking its women
iveaders. I predict that there will be a
remarkable sameness In these answers ; If
the replies of the
women f eaders are
sincere; they will'
all -be summed up.
In' one word" man
liness. ' ' '
ffcJvery "woman, "be
she feather-headed
or of ' the' cranial
furnishing of a
inorva, a manly ;
man. No, the ad
jective is not re
dundant There are
creaturea masque
radlng as men who
are without manliness.
That which every
woman admires in a man and calls man
liness Is courage. Courage of mind,
courage of body, courage pt - aoul. A
sight to which every woman responds
Is that of the man who Is unafraid.
lie must have courage of mind. He
must have the willingness and tho power
to attack the world and wrest from it
those things which he wants. Women have
falsely been classed as mercenaries be
cause they are won by successful men.
It is unjust to women to say that the
dazxle of gold In their eyes blinds them
to everything else. What women care
for ia less the cold than tho power of
wresting tt from the tightly gripped fist
of present day conditions. They are
wooed' by the might of tho man against
his adversaries, the conditions which en
compass him. Often when a woman Is
being: criticised for marrying a man for
his money, ahe la loving him for the
atrength that la in him that has com
manded that money.
Weak women suspect that the business
world is a grim battle ground, strong
women know tt. The woman in the home
admires her lord, who goes out into it
daily and brings home the epolls of com
mercial war, the wherewithal to feed and
clothe and house his family, and to pro
vide the emergency fund against the day
of Illness or trouble. The self-supporting
weman admires him yet more, for it Is
with deeper knowledge of the fierceness
of the combat. The courage of mind to
attack and the force of will that keeps
a man fighting for what he believes to
be his own are winning elements with all
women.
Courage of body is to a woman always
admirable. A man won a girl's1 heart by
coolly opening a suspected bundle that
arrived that morning by mail, which
looked aa though it contained a
bomb. Another man lost a girl's
heart by the panicky manner in which
he received the nea that the sky
scraper In which his office was sit
uated, aa one of the cells in a honey
comb, was burning. That a man should
realise the danger and make hasty plana
for escape Is natural. That he should
turn craven and hang out the distress
signal of the white feather, is quite an
other matter. Every summer supplies
Its sheaf of news that girls having been
rescued from drowning rewarded their
rescuer by marrying them. Each of
these girls would say, "I fell in love with
a hero."
Courage comes, in large part, from con
sclous strength, cowardice from conscious
weakness. That a man has in him the
atrength that defies the bodily dangers
that frighten her always excite
woman's admiration.
rrberein, too, Is her everlasting claim
to Ida chivalry, for aha may acquire net
ono vote, but two or twenty. gho may
equal and distance him in some of the
professions and arts. But the fact that
she is of slighter frame and lesser vigor
than he should command his service as
the cry of a child stirs woman's pro
tective Instinct.
Courage of soul Is the finest form of
manliness 'and the finest women know It.
Courage to take aa unpopular stand be
cause he believes it to bs right; courage
to face unjust criticism; courage to fight
on though beneath a tattered flax; cour
age to do his life work with a smile and
to die without a slgh-'tls this kind of
manliness that keeps alive the diminish
ing art of hero worship. Ho Ions; as there
are heroes there will be hero worship.
