He who has no will power cannot pos

important it is that every parent
should understand the function and

its development are we'll understood.
The parent who has no knowledge Of

development of the will need not won

A year ago the writer was asked con-

were asked Of the parent: Why
should you want to break his will?
Did you ever stop to think of what il
means to boy or girl who has a strong
will? Can you blame the boy? Is he
not chip off the old block? What
would you have amounted to II you
were not as self-willed as you are? You

WASHINGTON AND THE REST.

NHE Father Of His Country"
whose 172d birthday we celebrate
tomorrow, is not as we'll un-
h derstood as he ought to be by
the millions of people who now inhabit
the land which he helped TO wrest from
England. To many he is still a dim
semi-mythical figure. Some only
snicker when his name is mentioned
because their thought at once reverts
to the apochryphal incident of the
hatchet and the cherry tree. And yet,
thanks TO such volumes as Senator
Lodges biography in the series en-
titled American Statesmen and to
Paul Leicester Ford's THE Real George
Washington" he is better known to
this generation than perhaps to any
since his own. He has been humanized.
Without losing his massive grandeur
he has become closer OF kin to US,
being not TO be worshiped but to be
revered and followed. OF course schoI-
ars will still discuss whether Washing
ton is after all the typical American;
whether that distinction does not be-
lcng more to Lincoln, Washington be-
ing too close TO the English stock and
habit of life to rank as such. But
after all who is the typical American?
Must II be the man in whose veins
flows a certain kind OF blood? No; we

typical American to include a Roose-

difficult class to deal with, can over
come their aversion TO work. They can
make themselves undertake tasks that
they dread and labor perseveringly to
the end. They can train themselves
to industrious habits.
The will can make the weak strong

pend on themselves. 1t can nerve us
for conflict with difficulties and adversi-
ties. 1t can inspire with courage for
whatever duty there may be TO perform,
for whatever misfortune may befall.
In the realm OF justice we can COM
pei ourselves TO be absolutely truthful
by an act of will, even when the strong
est temptation to tell an untruth pre-
sents itself. We can cast out all feel
ings Of prejudice and revenge, of un-

Certainly George Washington stands
for three traits which belong to the
best type Of American character. In
the first place he was a hard worker.

to his own strong right arm and to
his untiring industry What splendid
example he is OF the men who have

and toughened in the school OF priva-
ton, exposure and toll. And when one
thinks of his tremendous responsible
ties in connection with the administra-
tion of the army and the founding of
the nation, we can hardly find 1t in our
hearts to complain of the work we
have TO do and the burdens we have to
carry.

among his early writings is a set of a

A ROUGH CRUISE.

Tom Dow and Chris. Johnson, both
young boys, sailed the old yacht Ka
huna from Pearl Harbor to this city
last Saturday forenoon when the gale
was at its highest. They started from
Pearl Harbor at s a. m. and arrived
here at about 1880 p. m. The boys
took the boat down under small jib
and with reef in the mainsail. They
had quite a hard time battling against
wind and waves. They had to put a
piece of canvas over the cockpit to
keep the boat from filling with water
and had to bail continuously to keep
her afloat.
