Dean C® G. Smith , ;~. Speaks to Club Dean Charles G. Smith was prin- cipal speaker before the Woman's Club of Haines City last Friday afternoon, Jan. 2. His subject was "The Tragedy of stupidity." The following is quoted from his address:—"EVen the person who develops his mind, who learns to think and reason fairly accurately makes all too many blunders in the art of living. Such an individual falls far too short of the ideal. When a person is so stupid as not to take advantage of his opportunities for self-development, for the- enlargement of his mind and the strengthening of his character, the result is tragedy; for his life is a failure, in a nut-shell: "Evil is wrought by want of thought As well as want of heart."
