The memory of an American soldier who died in Normandy in World War Two richly deserves to be kept alive. He was General Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., son of the great Teddy, and he died of sheer exhaustion on the field of battle. A doughboy who served under him declared that he was the "fightingest d-n officer in any army," and Major G,eneral R. O. Barton. Commander of the U. S. Fourth Division, said at the time of Roosevelt's death: "He was the most gallant soldier, officer, and gentleman I have ever known and I make no exceptions."
Socrates taught on the streets of Attrens nearly five hundred years before Christ. His chief teaching was thisthat a man could only succeed by the building and development of his own character. and in order to do that successfully he must be able to stand to one side and watch himself go by. He said a man should look upon his own mind, his own character, as a thing apart, and he strould sit as a bystander and watch it work, and judge its development, its strength and weakness, in an entirely abstract manner. If he discovered that his mind was showing small weaknesses, such as anger, jealousy, fear, etc., he s&rould realize its imperfections and go to work to correct them, and build his mind and character to higher levels.
