George Washington Carver pushed his students toward academic excellence. But of greater concern to the renowned scientist was their character development. Below are the “cardinal virtues” he sought to instill in his students:
Be clean both inside and out.
Neither look up to the rich nor down on the poor.
Lose, if need be, without squealing.
Win without bragging.
Always be considerate of women, children, and older people.
Be too brave to lie.
Be too generous to cheat.
Take your share of the world and let others take theirs.
We’ve been in the edit bay finishing this project for the last several days. In the parlance of the film world, we’ll have the picture locked tomorrow night, after which the composer will do his work. Our new film about the remarkable George Washington Carver will be available in January.
This afternoon under the tree…

Tomorrow morning in in-boxes…
