CHARACTER—Criticism
“Character” is something which is
hard to define. It is the sum of all
the qualities which make up an in
dividual’s personality. To say that a
man has a good character is to say
more than merely toat he pays his
bills and meets his just obligations.
Character in toe last analysis, in

required to do, in holding an atti
