The study of human nature‘is one
of the most interesting past times.
It is natural to inspect person
alities and classify our fellow
men. But the most interesting sur
prise awaits us, when we find some
one whom we considered the ri,.ht
man for a Mg job turns out to be
too small for the position they
now hold . There is also the op -
osite condition-—the genius who
can grow into any position under
any circumstances which may arise.
Every community has its genii—
iuen of the hour. We ■ are proud 'to
know we have them here. Men who
ore both willing and capable t.o
step to the front whole-heartedly
and heln manage our affairs toward
success. It takes a great deal of
courage, added to the willingness
to work for the good of a cause
with little or no compensation save
the knowledge that they heIced to
bring permanent success.
Persons shouldering responsibility '
of community enterprises should
receive more whole-hearted support
and less antagonism from the com
munity they represent.
Cooperation between leadership and
the project or enter rise they rep
resent is exceedingly necessary
oefore any great strides in accom
plishment can be claimed. It is
just as important to be a.good fol
lower as a good leader. In°other
words it takes cooperation in any
undertaking to make it the thing we
will be proud to claim as our own,"’
Whether it be our club, Lod0e or
Cooperative Association or any
department of such an organization.
Therefore, when it is felt changes
wii? improve the situation, let’s
offer constructive criticism in a
friendly way and in so doing im
prove end help each other*
