I - CHARACTER. g j j* y| '*? :%A mans character is not what he seems to be, but >-! what he really is. Often character is thought of as n j that reputation which we possess in the minds of oth- s yJ ers. But, when we study this wore}, we find that the J former and not the latter is really character, i-j (Character is not 'measured by a man's wealth, nor l,i by his brilliant talents, but bj? his true virtues. These *-\ virtues are the sure qualities by which character is ? | known. Nothing in physical power, wordly accumula0| tiori, or wonderful power of intellect can separately i! form character, though they may be subordinate to d character. If we speak of a man who has just died, we can not fj mean his genius, his wisdom or his social standing, e! These qualities may enter into his character, but they fj are not the qualities which make up his character. The character of a people is not to be learned from those who dress in purple and fine linen, or from the apparently refined ladies and gentlemen; but it is to be learned from the noble deeds which are productions of the virtuous and the good. ai True character is a principle that is always right v I and commendable. It is a power in man that keeps . his entire nature in direct opposition to the devices of evil. Character is formed slowly; it is a gradual process and can not die. For we live not in our outward * ' appearance, nor in the houses which we build with our I * * hands, but in deeds and by memory. Therefore, we J see how necessary it is to possess and retain a good 1 character. * K. W. K., '22. s ? ? B FROWNING FORTS OF FOLLY. " Our country has just passed through a momentous * crisis.

But s behind these castles there is not always that which is o expected by others.

How many-of our sincere and peace-loving people have wandered from the righteous path merely on account of that almighty dollar. This powerful, seduc tive dollar has caused us to neglect our educational duties and, worst of all, to neglect Alimighty God. Selfish individualism has held the grasping power on us in the past, at the present, and will so continue for years to come if the people of this nation do not awake and look forward to the higher ideals that will attain for this nation the standard of perfection. Have any of us ever once thought how many illiterates were among us? Statistics have shown us that iv? 1 01 n ixrovfi five cmH u Vialf million nprmlp in t.hfi ill JL %J JL \* tllWX ?? Vi. V *4. ?

It is natural that in all the States where illiteracy is common the decrease each decade should be large. Decrease in illiteracy must .come through the public schools, although an increasingly large number must devolve upon other agencies, such as immigrant associations; the Christian and Hebrew Young Men's and Young Women's Association; workers among the mountain whites, and such institutions as Hampton and Tuskegee among the negroes. On account of a more literate type of immigration before 1900, statistics show us that changes in illiteracy were less striking than in the period from 1900 to 1910. Do we realize what a great per cent, of our male voters are illiterates? The great world war has shown us how many of our men of this age are illiterate. Now friends, how can we, the people of the greatest nation on earth, stand for such an alarming percentage of ignorance among us? How can we persist in such an evil as this? We see strong, robust men going to the polls to vote and yet these men can not even write their own names. Such a sight moves us with compassion. Shall we sit idly and let this black spot remain rvv Qffl wo rrnincr tn orpf hnsv ? This fnrt of illiteracy VI l*i V " V 5 vw t5vv " V V- ^ must be dismantled by the education of the masses. The time has come when we, the people of this nation, should get down to genuine judgment and put aside that mental sluggishness which has had the hold of us for so long a time.

These frowning forts of folly are in our path. We have become too prosperous and have put aside our duties to the teaching of our illiterates. We have neglected our God. This generation is not able to uplift the walls but we can lay the foundation for the victorious generation that will come. And in our blindness and national egoism we have erected these menacing forts that will bring to us only shame and disaster. We may not be able to clear away the debris after destroying these forts. But clothed in the majesty of American patriotism the great army of heroic citizens will lay the foundation for a magnificent structure of national leadership that shall tower victoriously above the racing tempests and thundering storms of ages to come, the proud triumph of all the generations yet unborn.
