Roosevelt’s Counsel to Young Men

Colonel Roosevelt said some excellent things before the University of Egypt, entirely apart from the political bearing which they had upon the country. We would like to commend the following to aspiring young men: "No man may reach the front rank who is not intelligent and not trained with intelligence. Mere intelligence itself is worse than useless unless it is guided by an upright heart with strength and courage behind it. Morality, decency, clean living, courage, manliness, and self-respect are more important than mental subtlety." "You can no more make a man really educated by giving him a certain curriculum of studies than you can make people fit for self-government by giving them a paper constitution."
Next Week our East Indian correspondent will tell us of some of the rapid and great changes which are taking place in troubled, restless India.
