Our greatest are not stars who live by exhibition of themselves and abilities, but quiet people who think and work in modest seclusion. Walkley, brilliant dramatic critic of the London Times, makes this observation, It is tree. History will remember the “great” men who plunged the world into the world war. History wifl paint in bright colors the men who carried on the work of destruction for more than four years. But history will be strangely silent about a greater than these—the plodders who Its very skeleton. ‘filtes to the war debt. ‘more than he deserves, 2 i ref fyi i, i!

All Watt did was gather up these loose ends, put them together, add a new idea and march into history with credit for the whole thing. All famous men “borrow” nine-tenths of their invention, skill or art. Men work with many things, from farm soil to metals and chemical magic. In combinations, these bring fame. But the greatest material man works with is man himself—his charecter. And the eatest men are the ones who emerge with the greatest character, Character, by its example and contagion, ts the only thing a man can bufld with per- ce.
