There: is: ney plaee wholly comfortable ‘for the genius, or for the man much below the av- erage. The reason the average man succeeds is because he khows he must work. He does? not trust to luck or to some flash of brillianey to land him at the top. Consequently he applies himself hard to whatever problem is before him. The average young man is not wealthy. He knows that in order to live and to make a living for those dependent upon him he must work steadily. In the end he gets the most out of life. He is us- ually more upright and more genu- inely beloved that the genius. Real success .is never a gamble. It may have the appearance of luck, but in ‘the main it is a steady game, and the honors are to those who play it intelligently. Theodore Roosevelt admitted that whatever his attainments were he had reached thm solely by determination and by application. Franklin often sat up the greater part of the night reading a book borrowed in the evening to be returned early in the morning. He had had practically no ordinary believe that his was a rare talent be yond the attainment of others. “He’s a genius’ sounds compli- mentary and costs nothing. It is usually the description given to any one who lands at the top, whereas the real reason for his being at the top is almost always hard work. There is the case of the two boys | who started in business together with equal chances; one industrious but unable to go to college, and the other indifferent as to a career but gestion that he attend the vocational school in connection with his work; the second boy took advantage of this opportunity only after being prodded by his superiors time and again, and then he soon dropped his course, giving as an excuse that he “would rather be out with the boys.” ees ENROLLMENT AT A.

Every month we hear of many instances where they have been advanced in position and salary. The one motto which is the surest to lead to suc- cess is “Work as hard as you can and then work some more.” Among the many true things Abraham Lincoln said stands the statement “The Lord must like com- mon folks, He makes so many of Fors i Area DELEGATE TELLS OF THE TRIP TO DEN MOINES, IOWA One Man on Search for Piece of Pie Gets Left and Travels by His Lonesome to Kansas. Following is a summary of the re- port of D. D. Clinton, delegate to the Des Moines Convention on the topic assigned him, “The Trip to Des Moines.” Of A. and M.s eleven delegates to the Students’ Volunteer Convention, one went direet from Amarillo to Des Moines, one from New Orleans, and the remaining nine gathered in Dallas for the Texas Special which ran as second section of the Katy Limited No. 4, leaving Dallas at 7:40 p. m., December 29th, and from Kansas City the group traveled over the Chicago and Great Northern to Des Moines. The special rate to the Convention was $30.67 from Dallas, or one and one- third fare for the trip. On the way up the students found a number of interesting and exciting things. One of our students grew somewhat hungry; so he speedily left the train at Greenville in order to se- cure a piece of pie, but returned to the station to find that the special mmm nnn Che FIRST National Bank Of BRYAN, TEXAS Wishes you The first boy stuck steadily to his study at home as well as to his work. One followed the call of success, the other the call of “the boys.” Finally the second boy was discharged be- cause of incompetency and the first boy was advanced as swiftly as cir- cumstances permitted. Neither boy was a genius. Both boys were just average boys, only one happened to have the ability to stick to his work and to improve. Although occasionally we have A Prosperous and Happy New Year.

Later he joined the party at Parsons, Kansas, where the gathering stopped for breakfast. On arriving in Kansas City, Dec. 30 about 1 p. m., the representatives had a wait of almost twelve hours; so here the note books were used for the first time; the young people be- came acquainted; and then visited the boulevards, zoos, parks, and ‘had sight-seeing in general.

The Texas special was one of the first of the eighteernv special trains that arrived in Des Moines, December 31st for the Convention, though when the first meeting of the assembly was held at 2 o’clock that afternoon, the Coliseum was filled with students and speakers; so, as one the Des Moines dailies expressed it, the collegians took Des Moines with a mighty rush. The Boy Scouts met all trains ar- riving for the Convention, and acted as guides and handy fellows in gen- eral to the many visitors. —————————— “WRINKLES” COMING BACK Dudley D.
