Should Boys Fiuht?

Moralists and disciplinariaus differ
on the question whether boys should
be encouraged to rely on fist argu
ments in cases of dispute. Generally
speaking the boy who was never in a
fight is not appreciated; for the
Christian doctrine of meehnoss. soft
answers and turning the other cheek
are in practice more honorpd in the
breach than in the observance. In
spite of this it probably calls for a
higher sort of courage to rrrrain from
hshting than it does to fight, and per
maps the most reasonable view to take
is that physical fighting may be iusti
liable in emergencies, such as the de
fense of conscience or Of women OF
children or country: but not as a
studied practice, says the Pathfinder

management.

No doubt you have realized that the
popular educational information
turned out by the printing press dur
ing the last century has caused things
to be a little different from what they
once were. The manager is not able
to do to-day in the same way that
which he could do twenty, forty, sixty
years ago. And the time is coming
when, if he would be successful. he
must not only have wit and strong
hand, but humane heart and an
ever clear head. AS some may not
recognize the necessity OF an Occa-
sionaI rest from everyday work.
will repeat a story | heard recently.
A great corporation offered a smaller
one $4,000 in settlement of a claim.
The small concern refused. The large
one had famous lawyer with assist
ants, witnesses and money. The law
yer of the little concern had little
money and had to fight it alone. After
securing 5000 900 for his clients he
confessed he never could have lived
through the fight if it had not been
for his habit of dropping all work at
midnight Saturday and not taking it
up again until Monday morning. |
know of another man who made a
practice of lying down after the most
difficult mornings work of the week,
and by sheer will-power forcing him
self to take a tiftecn-minute nap be-
fore starting off for the most difficult
afternoons work of the week. 1t is
necessary to know yourself and know
how to manage yourself. The success.
full management of men begins in tho
correct management of self.

WESLEY's ADVICE WAS GOOD
Get Close to Mother Earth" Said
the Great Methodist.

In the Times report of the celehra-
ton by Los Angeles Mcthodists of the
two hundreth anniversary of the
birth of John Wesley. the following
occurs in the description of Bishop
Hamilton's speech:
The bishop was eloquent and witty,
and told many humorous stories cf
Wesley and other leading early.day
Methodists. He did not spare Wesley
by emitting the ludicrous things in his
life. He solemnly quoted from the
great Methodist's medical book his
cure for pulmonary trouble: GO dig
hole in the ground: lay down on
your face and breathe the fresh
earth"
This may have appeared very funny
to the audience, brit possibly the sug-
sestion of the great founder If
Methodism is not so luJicrous after
all. In fact, it is good advice, suppos.
ing the soil TO be free from impuri.
ties 1t would do us all good if we
could occasionally get little nearer
to Mother Earth, both with out feet
and our faces.-Los Angeles Times.

Systematic Investigation.

The reading of men has much to
do with the correct management Of
men. 1t is easy to coax a man to do
something he is able to do, but an
energetic manager can get many men
to accomplish more and better work
in quantity and quality than they
could if left to themselves. If you
want to be a better manager you must
become better acquainted with your
self and learn how to analyZe others
as a chemist would analyZe an un-
known liquid. Some books will help
you little but observation will help
you more. and the suggestions OF
friends and enemies will become the
most useful Of all. A course of pri-
vate. systematic investigation for re-
suits must be taken up. either con-
sCiously or unconsciously. Some men
think day and night without effort
and of course they succeed. Other
men decide they will think more care
fully; they plan how to think and
what to think about, and know all the
time that they are thinking; these
men succeed also

Securing Business.

The expense of securing business is
one of the uncomfortable things in
many lines of work. Here is a college
with buildings, instructors and an en-
dowment suitable for four hundred
students, yet they have only one hun.
drcd and seventy-fve. No one doubts
there being two hundred and twenty
tive students in the legitimate terri
tory of the college. each of whom
would be greatly benefited by the in
struction and who could and would
attend if the subject were rightly pre-
sentcd to them. A correct presenta.
ton of the subject requires genuine
ability of a special order. The man
who can secure the most business
may not be able to make an intelli-
gent report for his employer regard
ing his work. A Chicago instructor
told me about Il twodolara-day man
who did not know what to do with
himself. but who finally drifted to
South America and secured $50 600
worth of business for a certain CON
cern. after which his employer nut
him on salary of $40 900 year to
