D. C. High School Graduates Lack “Pep,” Washington high school graduates were taken to task today by Roger Babson, statistical oxpert, for their lack of “pep” and other “indefinable qualities” Addressing an upper class assembly at McKinley Manual Train- ing School this morning, Mr. Babson declared that something should be done to remedy this situation, even 1f it meant the carving over the coors of every District school these words: “The world does not owe me & living, but I owe the world a lite.” “For some years I have worked ‘With Washington young people and graduates from Washington schools,” sald _the statistician. “1 did this in an official capacity in connection with the Department of. Labor during the war. and also in a private capaclty. Both of these experiences showed clearly that the graduates of the ‘Washington schools lacked some in- dennable quality. Finds “Pep” Lacking. “The physical teaching plant is well developed; the teaching staff is able, conscientious, and industrious; but there {s something about the Washington atmosphere which is harmful to the student. It may be the debility, humidity and heat of certain months; it may be the laxity and indifference which is so common among government employes; it may Dbe that the city is so infested with so many irresponsible children of well- to-do parents, who are setting a bad Changes in Stations of Army and Navy Officers Of Interest to Capital Army.

Helps to Success. Intelligence he described as a product of honesty and courage, while he defined initlative as the driving power of life. “Initiative is to success what gasoline is to an en- gine,” he said. On the subject of intensity he de- must concentrate their energies, spe- clalize on one thing and do it better than any one else. “Inspiration,” he said. “stimulates our other faculties, spurs us on to great achievements.” “If you are endowed with the six ‘I's’ of success and all of these are bathed in the sunshine of religion,” Mr. Babson said, in conclusion, “there Success is yours for the asking.” Polish Concert.
