said «human race" -not any specific race. So, let's sit be-
fore that quiet, thoughtful President and again listen care-
fully as he says:
«N othing in the world will take the place of
persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than
unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; the world
is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination
alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press on!' has solved
and always will solve the problems of the human race."
When history gets around to placing that mar-
ble bust of Calvin Coolidge in its niche among the world's
great, I hope it places him up among the high and mighty,
because in his concise, terse way, he told how they became
high and mighty-so that we, too, could become equal or
superior.
