YOUR BOYS FUTURE.

The question Of what career in life
their son shall choose troubles many
parents.
In European countries the sons life
work is usually selected for him be-
fore he is born. He is to follow the
business of his father, whatever that
may be.
Formerly. in this country. the old
fashioned father sternly mapped out
the calling OF his heir. which might or
might not be that OF his father, and
forced his son into it.
In these days the youth has more
freedom to choose But
Often the mistake is made Of urg-
ing the boy along the line Of his early
desires.
That is to say, if the small boy takes
to machinery the parents conclude he
should be a machinist or engineer,
whereas nearly all small boys like Ma
chinery.
Or the boy draws pictures every
where. Therefore his future must be
along the art lines.
Or the arbitrary choice of the youth
himself is thought to be significant. il
Johnny says he wants to be doctor
the family concludes he is cut out foI
a physician.
And so on.
The fact is that few boys have sui
ficient Judgment to know in advance
what may suit their temperament o.
ability.
Exceptions? Certainly. Some boys
instinctively choose the right vocation
And some manifest genius in GER
tain ways very early in life. But the
average youth has neither strong urg

How the Justices Prepare Decisions
and Dissenting Opinions.

On Saturday evening each justice re.
ceives from the chief justice an en-,
velope containing the names OF tbs
cases the chief justice has decided ia
allow the justice to write the opinions
on. and the chief justice also notifies
the justices of the hour Of the confer.
ence on Monday morning. The confer
ences are usually held in the confer
ence room under locked doors The
chief justice presides. and cases are
taken up or postponed according to the
wishes of the justices or their reaGi.
ness to consider them. Each justice
Is furnished with Il lock book, in which
he may enter the details of case. the
record OF the vote on conference and
the final disposition. On Il case be-
ing assigned by the chief justice TO a
justice 10 write the opinion of the
court the opinion when written must
be agreeable to the justices. If not
the dissatisfied justice will promptly
write dissenting opinion. In some
instances four OF the justices have
each written dissenting opinion. but
the usual custom is for one to write
it and announce that the others con-
cur.
Before a case is reached for arGu-
ment the justices familiarize them
selves with its records and briefs. and
when one Is directed to write the opin-
ion he makes a study of the case. long
or short, as its gravity demands. This
may take few days or months. The
opinion Is dictated. and after being
typewriter it is corrected. boiled
down and revised: another copy is then
made, further revised and sent to the
printer. IN order that the COM
positors who set the type may not
know the decision of the case the
foreman sets up the last few lines OF
the opinion. locks them in a safe. and
after the opinion is set up he adds
them to it. takes two proofs and for
wards them under lock and key to the
justice. 1t is again read and revised
and sometimes completely altered and
returned to the printer. corrected by
the latter and lime revises sent to the
justice.
If the opinion is now satisfactory to
the justice a copy is mailed to each
member of the court. These are re-
turned to the justice with the nota-
tons Of the justices, and the opinion Is
revised or changed. II need be. to con-
form to their views. If there be a
dissenting opinion the justice writing
the majority opinion holds it until the
dissent is completed.
Then on some Monday, the court be-
ing in session. the justice announces
an opinion in the case. giving its num-
Der and title, and then proceeds to
read it at length to the dozen people
who may be present. If there be a
dissenting opinion the justice writing
the dissent reads it and announces the
names of the justices who concur with
him. Afterward the official reporter
Of the court sends verified copy Of
the opinion to the publishers Of the
United States supreme court reports.

HASTE AND HURRY,
By EDWIN A. NYE.

There is big difference between
haste and hurry.
Haste goes directly and swiftly on
its way, like n railroad train.
Hurry goes on its way swiftly. but
not directly. 1t takes a zisZag course.
like an aeroplane buffeted by head
winds or in countercurrents.
Haste helps.
Hurry is haphazard.
Not long ago l watched two gangs
Of men at work on new railroad en-
bankment. On each section the same
number OF men and teams was en-
ployed, and about the same number of
square yards OF dirt was TO be moved.
One of the bosses was a nervous fell
low who continually hurried the men
and horses. He urged and swore alter
nately. He stewed and fretted and
worried his gang.
The other was quiet man who sell
dom spoke. Evidently his work had
all been planned, and he simply kept
his eyes open to see that his plans
were carried out. While there was no
fuss and no hurry call. men and teams
rapidly fell in line at the right mo-
ment.
Several weeks afterward the super
intendent of construction told me the
quiet man completed his job ten days
before the other.
The fretful mind hurries.
The trained mind makes haste.
Speed is not always determined by
the number OF times the wheels go
round
Hurry often marks time, while haste
marches direct to camp.
Ordinarily there is no call for either.
Things go smoothly. But when the
urge is on every blow must count.
every muscle must work, every force
must be marshaled. Therefore
When swift work is demanded has
ten, but do not hurry.
Behind the work must be the care
full. resolute. resourceful mind that
calmly directs each blow, expands ev-
cry muscle and carefully aims the eff
fort.
Hurry makes men nervous and mis-
directs their energy.
Hurry is wasteful.
Make haste slowly.
Plan the job. Go at it with reserve
power and calmly. Then do it swiftly
and intelligens.v.
