Todd, One of America’s Most Famous Civic Builders, Speaks on Methods of Attaining Success.— Guest of Rev. J. C. Rowan While Here. ‘•Geo, Ain't It Great to Be n_BossO’ was? the subject of a tine address de livered in Central Graded School here Monday night by John K. Todd, of Tod-Robertson-Todd. builders, of New York City. Mr. Todd spoke here un der the auspices of the Rotary and Ki vvanis Clubs, and while here* whs the guest of Rev. Jesse ('. Rowan, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. He was accompanied to Concord by Mrs. Todd, and thev came here-from Cam den. S. ('.. whePe they spent several weeks. Mr. Todd is recognized as one of tlie greatest civic builders in the Tint ed States and he devoted his tine ad dress to an outline of the finalities and characteristics which a young man needs if lie would become a success in the business world. The address was prepared especially for under- to !>o delivered in one of the great universities, but as all men are but boys grown no, Mr. Todd express ed the hope that his address would-lie of interest to all. It is the duty of ev eryone. he pointed out. to he interest ed in the youth of today, for tomor row they are the men who control things. > - Mr. Todd devoted the greater part of his address to a discussion of the -characteristics that make success, but lie also touched on college life and some of the apparent evils of present college courses. lie showed an insight into college conditions that was as keen as his touch upon things pertain ing to the business world, in which he lias been a marked success. The speaker declared a young man should early choose his vocation. A young man at 25 should be on the road to success, for at 40. after 15 short years, he will have reached the point where he yvill he either a success or failure. The die is cast by the time a man reaches forty, and he declared he knew of no instance in which a man who was a failure at 40. made good after that. If a young man is on the right road at JO. he Ims mun. 1 , years of success ahead of him. but if ui that age he is still chasing the rainbow, he is almost certain to be a failure. Making money is not the biggest thing iu life, Mr. Todd said, but he •ligcussed. success in a material way only because his subject dwelt with it. lif 1 added. The speaker told of a young man i who started without funds or friends. | lie worked front- morning until night, j waved a lmrt of his earnings, and kept | eternally at the job. latter success came, he was able to spend sever/il months of each year in Europe, or Florida, or some, other place. He could give to his church, to missionar ies. to the support of his parents and the education of his brothers and sis PARKS - BELK COMPANY ters. That man was successful, lie said, because he was not a quitter, be cause he saved part of his earnings j and because Its was a part of the work |he was doing. Such success, he added. ! does not come on a silver platter. It j comes after hard work. Here Mr. Todd some statistics showing the success made by the av erage college man. The college man is better for his training, he said .but I the pity is that so many of them are jno better than they arc. About one in every live college men ’is a success, he showed, and taken as a whole !M> per cent, of the men in thhe world ov er <*) years of age are dependent on someone else for support. The honor man in college does not, always make the biggest success in life, Mr. Todd said. Too often they come oi|t. think ing life will be as their college exper iences. They don't Work much in col lege and they don't want to work much when they get out. On the other hand there is the man who worked in col lege for what he got. He lias learn ed to keep after the main chance, and Go dwill not and man cannot stop such a man, the speaker said. Too many colleges 'do not give the students enough work. A man. can study about two hours a day and keep up. That he characterized as a rest cure. Dec-id in g on a vocation, getting the fright attitude, developing the faculty | of listening atid being a sticker were | the characteristics the speaker deelar : ed would make success for any man. IHe advised the young man tp choose liis vocation irs early as possible. ‘'There is u call for everyone,” he said. •Choose wlmt you think you wiil do well. Choose something that you want to do, something that will keep your interest up. Start in this line of work if your standing is small and your salary small. Make your own choice rather than leaving this to some one else. "And don't assume the attitude of 'lt can’t be done.’ Don't believe iu ‘uo.’ Tackle the problem with a smile. The man with the wrong attitude Licks about everything without mak ing an effort to correct anything. The man with the right attitude sticks tg the thing and tries to improve condi tions. If asked to contribute to some cause the mun with the wrong atti tude says Y don't believe in it.’ in stead of saying Y can't afford it/ The man with the right attitude studies the problem and admits that he can't afford to subscribe. It is just as wrong to give when you can’t afford it as it is not to give when you can afford it. “Cultivate the habit of listening. Do so thoroughly and completely. Be emt you get all.

The rtn , fishers, are the money men. the hope of the future, the bosses. | "Practically means nothing. We do not allow its use in our company. The man who practically completes some thing usually needs someone else to finish the job. Excuses and alibis do not count. Do not expect success by luck or chance. It comes only with j the will to finish the job started. Why do men succeed? Because they do a little more and a little better than their competitors. "It's great to be a boss, truly, but if you would be a boss you must stick to the job to the last. You must be a finisher.” Mr. Todd speaks tonight before the student body of Davidson College, and will deliver llio same address that was heard here with so much interest by an audience that picked Central School auditorium.
