BRAINS AND CHARACTER
Speaking at a London prize-giving, Sir Francis Goodenough, chairman of the Government Committee on Education for Salesmanship, said he would place character before ability as tne qualification for success in a business career. “A man may be ever so clever, charming, accompished, and full of knowledge,” he said, “yet, if his character be unsound and crooked, he is worse than negatively useless; he is positively harmful, and the higher the position "he holds the more harmful he becomes. Brains without character are a serious danger. They are to he found in every prison in the land. They were the cause of the Great War. B. plus C is the successful business equation. Not everyone can be a general manager, but everyone can be a man.”
