Leadership

"Give us Leadership," cry preachers, pedagogs, editors, in season & out. Last week Long Island University in Brooklyn announced it would give Leadership in the form of a course of 14 lectures on Tuesday nights. Instructor in the course--in which none of L. I. U.'s 1,078 students hurried to enroll--would be Francis George Wadsworth, who has done vocational work for the Y. M. C. A., the U. S. Army, New Jersey State Police, New York State Board of Education and the Brooklyn and New York Edison Companies.

Leadership students would read the lives of Leaders Washington, Lincoln, Bismarck, Schwab, Ford, Edison, Sperry, Steinmetz et al., supplemented by Success Stories of the standard American Magazine type. There would be lectures by Instructor Wadsworth, stressing self-analysis, adaptability, flexibility of interest. Studies would also include a spatter of psychology, memory, will, habit, the brain and its structure. For homework the students would work over intelligence tests of the Army type and "Standard Interviews," a method of self-analysis which Instructor Wadsworth devised for the Y. M. C. A.
