, A man who lives right and is right
has more power in his silence than
another has by his words. Characte,
is like bells which ring out sweet mu-
sic and which when touched, accident
ally even, resound with sweet music.
i Every parent should feel to the
greatest extent the responsibility OF
training his little ones: he should
know that their characters must be
shaped, their lives must go on; only
one foundation can be laid, only one
structure built; but the building must
go up, and parents are greatly re-
sponsible for its merit. How prayer
fully we ought to strive to help them
lay such a foundation on earth that
their structure may be projected be-
yond the stars.
***
The beautiful is needed in our com.
munity life, We all have characters
to build, strengthen and maintain.
We need the beautiful. Dress and
Eve as savages and we would soon be-
come savages in action. The city or
town totally devoid of beauty would
be the abode of the sensual, immoral
and lawless. A community of taste
and beauty must necessarily be COM
posed of refined and cultured people,
and true culture leads to higher NOR
ality. There are about Laclede many |
things that commend it. There are
things that are capable of improve
ment. Public sentiment will do much |
toward identifying our dwellings. our
streets and alleys. Neatness, TASTE
and beauty will help us all. Our
moral life would be higher and our
social life purer.
*
Work makes men. Luck usually
fails. Pluck nearly always wins. To
succeed in anything, one must over
come obstacles. Force and fibre are
built by hardships. Grit is as neces-
sary in the making of man as gump-
ton. Hardships are not always han
dicaps. Often they are helps. You
will understand this better in twenty
years. Meanwhile, permit one who
has lived that twenty years and more,
to advise you in this. Hang onto
your job until you are sure of bet
ter one. Dependable boys are in de-
mand. And no boy can be depended
upon who does not finish the task he
sets his hand to. However disagree
able your work, do it thoroughly. Do
it better than the average boy will do {
It. In that way you will come to be
known as a dependable boy. And
mind you this: Men everywhere are t
ooking for capable, honest, grit q
y boys. The sooner you let people
,now that you are that kind of a boy,
he sooner you will get better job. O
And don't be in a hurry to give up
he work you already have. Be sure
better is offered. Wait !;
while. Do your work well. Promo
ion will come. And do not envy the
10Y who has an easy time. You
'ould much better pity him. He has q
good time now, but some day he q
AUST "make good" With his flabby 5
muscles and his easy habits and his
lany wants he stands a far poorer f
hance than you. Remember above e
., young fellow, you are making a a
ian of yourself.
