tin SHOULD DEVELOP LEADERSHIP “Psychology of Leadership” Sheldon’s Subject. SELFISHNESS DEPLORED Student Activities Held to Be Beneficial. 1 “This University and other colleges in generations to come will fail in their mission unless they turn out men and women versed in qualities of leadership coupled with technical skill,” declared Dr. II. D. Sheldon, dean of the school of education, who spoke on the psychol ogy of leadership in the “Y” hut Wed nesday evening. Dean Sheldon inferred that the development of the qualities of leadership is to a large degree, a per sonal attainment. “Leadership is a sort of a reciprocal relationship between a man who has certain qualities and a group,” said Dean Sheldon. “The ready smile and glad hand form of leadership I fear is over done in America. To be a leader one must get beyond own selfish purposes. Something other than the spoils of of fice, like those of Tammany’s will be for naught unless a leader have faith in something beyond self, or make people believe he has; and people are fairly good judges of sincerity.” Physical appearance is one of the greatest assets for leadership, said Dean Sheldon. Many of our great, men owe their greatness to a superabundance of vitality, stated Dean Sheldon when enumerating the essentials of leadership. When referring to the aggressiveness of Colonel Roosevelt, the speaker said that vitality combined with certain personal qualifications assured success in leader ship. “No man can become a leader with out self-confidence,” said the head of the department of education to the small audience in the “Y” hut. “There are persons qualified for leadership tn every community who remain unknown by a lack of self-confidence, and persons less eapnblc act ns the leaders. You must believe in yourself and take the lead.” Another quality found in leaders, and a very important one according to Dean Sheldon, is a certain sense of social tact expressed in the feeling for others opin ions and an understanding of their moods. Renjamin Disraeli, the great English statesman, a scorned Jew who was laughed at when he first entered parliament dressed in a gorgeous uniform had this qualification to an uncanny de gree. said the speaker. “One of the most valuable things a person can do in college is to take part in the various student activities to a de gree where self-confidence is gained, said Dr. Sheldon in conclusion. “If you have sense, ideals, enthusiasm, and are not afraid of your own voice you will be an effective leader. You should have a genuine and serious purpose in life to serve some social cause. The woods are filled with fanatics who have much de motion and no 'sense. What we need is skill in thinking, coupled with devotion to an ideal.” UNIVERSITY TO HAVE DELEGATE AT VIRGINIA Clyde B. Aitchison, M. A., Oregon, To Be Present at 100th Anniversary of U, of V.

LABOR’S SOLIDARITY SUPREMACY ESSENTIAL (Continued from Page 1.) ' ~ 1 —1 -.— 1 9 talk of the duty to organize. Organiza tion is the laborers’ protection. The third point, the mutual benefit of capital and labor, is where the two are joined. Many deny this, deny it by words and by actions, the speaker said. It is denied by the employer who does not take his men into consideration when he '< makes changes in wages. The employer I who fails to consider his men in so vital a question is ap I. W. W. employer, de clared Mr. Coleman. The employer of that kind is on a par with -the workman j who stands a valuable saw up against a tree in the rain and lets it rust with the words. “Let the .boss worry, it’s not my saw,” said the speaker. Outside Contact Feared. Most of the employers of the present day have had Lincoln’s experience of coming up from the bottom, of seeing things done, and learning that labor is the beginning of everything, the lecturer went on. The danger today lies in the class that lives by\“clipping coupons from some one else’s labor.” Control without contact, control with out understanding is where the danger lies, according to Mr. Coleman, who i ,,Rcd as illustration the closing down of i factories and mills, employing many men, 'by absent owners who do not know the 'conditions and the results involved. The situation is being solved, said th speaker, by an organization to amalga mate the interests of employers and laborers. “As I would not be a slave. I would not be a master.” quoted the speaker from Lincoln. In this day, lie said, we need leaders, not masters. In our day [we combat masters with labor’s owner ship of the tools with which it works. Leader Not Master. A leader is a different thing from a master, according to Mr. Coleman. A leader is one who has power to instruct, to advise, to help; one who raises up, not holds down. That is the kind « leadership we need now. Think about it. students, some of you will be leaders, and some of you will be laborers, con cluded the speaker. At the opening of the assembly, Ruth Diehl played two harp solos winning much applause from the audience. NuBone Corsets, Cleaning and Repair ing. Mrs. A.
