upon us. They insist upon it hat it
is laziness that is the matter with us:
laziness keeps is poor, keeps us igno-
rant, keeps us in the rear. EVER SO far
behind the times. and keeps us
even from regreting our inferiority.
Perhaps we are lazy people, partly SO
from constitution and habit, and pant
ly SO from climatic influences. / should
substitute the word INDECENT for lazy.
and agree to the charge without a
perhaps. We DO what is set before
MS, what we know to be necessary and
proper. we are lot lazy in leaving duty
undone, but there is very little surplus
activity of either mind or BODY. When
we finish appointed task we like
to rest. We don't understand or be-
lieve in the rest that lies in change of
occupation. Where a S%outherner rests
by lying down, a Northerner rests by
going at something else. A Northern
woman who has spent the morning
cooking, washing or ironing, vii sit
down in the afternoon. and write
a letter to her favorite paper, detailing
her experience with her work, with
her children, with her sewing. She
finds ier best rest from physical toll
