In Them the Character Largely Receives
Its Formation.
No part of our time is more fraught
with responsibility than our leisure
hours. Time is money to him whose
main purpose is to make money; but to
him whose first aspiration is to acquire
character, time is character. It is in
leisure time that one feels the fullest
freedom of the will. Our busy times
are busy partly by sort of compulsion
of necessity or of habit. We are hard
ly conscious of a deliberate choice in
the matter of their occupation. But in
the disposal of our leisure time. we are
conscious of a free, full and in
depe ndcnt use of the will. 1t
is this matter of willing that
terminates and roots character
Says Herbart, the eminent German
pedagoguc: ''The will is the seat of
character; the kind of decision of the
will determines the species Of char
acter." 1t is in his leisure time, there
fore, that a man gives the set to his
character. Equally with the opera
tion Of breathing and the beating OF
the heart, the character-forming
process is itself without leisure, with
out vacation, whether we would have
it SO or not. This is thought foz
weekday and Sunday, for the winter
evening, and conspicuously for the
summer vacation.-S. S. Times.
