Four fifthS Of the civilized world liy

Four-fifths Of the civilized world live
by timetable. The clerk, the student
the teacher, the factory worker, the
nurse, the cook, the doctor obey the
clock with precision the year round.
For them pr0crastination Is disaster.
Great establishments, with hundreds OF
employees, reduce punctuality to sci.
ence, and record by the time-clock ev.

who enforces promptness on her pupils

Devotion to the schedule is essential to

woman plans her vacation hour by
hour, with the sense that only so can
she taste the whole Of it. The teacher
constructs an itinerary for her Euro
pean trip so exact that she can tell you
where she will spend every night Of
the two months. Yet IL the vacation
Is short one, it should be passed
away from time. The refreshment Of
freedom from the tyranny Of hours and
minutes Is incalculable. Not to know
the time of DAY save by the sun Is to
be ones own master. TO be Late for
everything that does not count and
early for everything that does is the
supreme vacation privilege. The bell,
the gong and the steam whistle should
all be banished from the real vacation,
and even the ticking Of the clock may
be forgotten. Times marches forward
only by shadows on the grass or rosy
fingers on the cloud. Thus for two
weeks may the liberated spirit enjoy
the freedom Of the whole solar sys-
