Ambition. -

Teach yourself to despise ambition il
is one of the meanest of passions. Does
this sound altogether inappropriate as
my first quoted word. Even girls ac-
tually seek for the hidden meaning OF
words
My own little observation and ex-
perience must belong much to school
| life. What does our continual struggle
after high per cent tell? What does our
anxiety for rank in class tell? Every
flush or frown, every grave or wicked
change of expression on the the school
girls face does not always reveal pure
notwithstanding.
Blue-eyed Mary has beclouded
December school because her
arithmetic, 65 per cent, is less revealing
of work accomplished than brown-eyed
Jennie's boosted 100 per cent. in their
November reports. How much gen.
uine heartache, how much Joy loss,
how much weeping during school years
come through these relentless per
centsl Why? Do you ask? Not for at
tainment or non-attainment usually,
but some one else outstripped the suf-
ferer in high percentage. Schoolgirl
ambition includes at least one other.
Is it fair?
Does ambition give added womanli-
ness, gentler thoughts of humankind,
greater selishness? When some girl
spoke to woman whose life had been
ion-consumed she said: Spell
my answer no. to each of these ques-
tons in large capitals F"
Watch if you will the arithmetic sue
cess of IS per cent. Mary. She may find
her zenith in as wide a love-world as 100 |
per cent. Jennie. We're just guessing,
but teachers say schoolgirls do guess as
often as boys say, Il don't know
even when 1T is question of ambition. |
However beguiling ambition may be
rs advice, when one rumages for his
toric, literary, political or social ex-
amples, we find only disastrous results.
Nothing more subtracts from no
oility of character than continual COM
oarison with other people. Why should
t matter if all the world eclipses us in
my particular work, if we have done
,ur best? Is work for works sake
Let us remember ambition includes at
east two. The very word satisfies the
suspicion that to be ambitious one
must be eager for world recognition.
Psychologists tell us aspiration ought

Or fame who scorn such opportunities al
our really successful men would have
improved. They don't want to begin
as Others have at the foot OF the ladder,
but half way up. Men who have made
a name through great opportunities
have been those who have made use OF
the smaller ones and turned them to ac-
count all through life. George Wash
ington became The Father of His
Country, Abraham Lincoln the "Great
Emancipator, "Geo. Dewey the Hero of
Manila Bay" Luther Burbank the
Plant Wizard" Thomas Edison the
Great Electrical INVENTOR" through
great opportunities we would say, but if
you would study their lives you would
find they used the everyday opportuni-
ties Of early life, and finally, when
greater ones presented themselves, they
were able to take advantage of them.
Finally character, the sum total of all
our virtues, is always the brighter star
by contrast with the difficulties and bar
riers we have overcome in the building.
The real material out of which our
characters are forming are the hourly
occurrences of every day life. Every
claim of duty, the employment of each
minute, the daily vexations or trials we
called upon to bear, the momentary de-
cisions we must make, the contact with
sin or sorrow, all these and many more
as small and as constant are the stones,
SO to speak, go to build the great
structure, character. There is differ
ence between character and reputation.
Character is what man is, reputation
what he is thought to be; character is
within, reputation is without; character
is his real worth, reputation his market
price. The full measure of all the
powers necessary to make a man or
woman are no more character than a
hand full of seeds in an orchard. Plant
the seeds and tend them well, and they
make an orchard; cultivate the powers
and harmonic them we'll and they will
make noble character Character is
the grandest thing man can live for. 1t
is to have worth of soul and wealth of
heart and mind.
He who has this aim lives to be what
he should and to do what duty requires.
Sum it up as we will, character is the
great end or goal of life, and this truth
sublime in its simplicity and powerful
in its beauty is the highest lesson of re-
igion, the first that youth should learn
md the last that age should forget.
When we see one who has pushed
IN through great difficulties and ever
insurmountable obstacles to
success, we realize the great truth
