Here is a maxim which should be read with interest and well digested by some of the young aspirants in this community who are aspiring to leaders of West Indian thought.
The extract is taken from the Belize Independent and clearly indicates that the movers in the same acheme have come to realise that leaders are not made overnight but in connection with possessing some basic foundation, they must be prepared for the great responsibility. The article for lows: In Belize one of the great difriculties confronting the High School or College graduate, whose aim is anywhere above the standard of the crowd, is, how can he continue to better himself now that he no longer has the aid of his Alma Mater. It is with great dismay that he observes absolutely no way in which he can continue to advance, except by plodding wearily along some road or other of rather hopeless Correspondence Courses.
Lately however, thanks to one energetic priest way has been thrown open to the developing youth.
By him a seleet group of boys have been organised into a body consisting jointly of a literary circle and a Sodality, As the goal of the enterprise Leadership has been suggested. This is hoped to be obtained principally in three ways: firstly, by building up through spiritual agencies a sterling, pure, upright character in its membors; secondly, by deepening and broadening their knowledge and learning by study and discussion; thirdly, by developing in them the power and ability of the spoken and the written word.
And be it understood, the methode of procedure will not be a mere conning of theorists; they will be the prosaic but tried method of the tyro who learns to swim by plunging and swimming, or if it must be, by pounding and struggling along until he has mastered the art. The fact that the Forum offers advice and direction such as only training and experience can supply, is om course a great boon and an earest of solid progress.
There is a saying that the soul of all progress is the progress of the soul. Since no undertaking in the realm of mind and spirit can ever prove genuinely successful without spiritual principles and piritual helps, the members are forming themselves into a religious group called a Sodality and thus are making available for themselves the moans to make the soul pure and strong for God.
The benefits to be derived from his promising little society are therefore numerous and very much thwhile. Each member hast!
chance to advance to the peak of his anbition if he will but give himself tu earnest and persevering endeavuur. The advantages of mutual contacts of example, discussion and emulation are in themselves invaluable. And finally the town at large in ust be greatly benefited by such a group of capable, trained, aggressive young men persuading others to improve themselves. It is the earnest prayer of the members that the good God may bless and prosper the Champion Leadership Forum (such is its name) and make it the source of distinct and signal service to the community Mr. Edgar Gregg has been elected President and Mr. Henry Gabb Secretary of the Forum. Father James Preuss is its Director.
