The Exceptional Young Man.

The exceptional young man. says
Orison SWEET Marden in an article In
Success magazine. Is the one who
looks upon his employers interests as
he would his own. who regards his
vocation as an opportunity to make a
man Of himself. an opportunity to
show his employer the stun he 10
made of. and who 10 always preparing
himself to fill the position above him.
The exceptional young man is the
one who never says: II was not paid
to do that" II don't get salary
enough to work after hours or to take
so much palms." He never leaves
things half done. but does everything
to a finish.
The exceptional young man is the
one who studies his employers bust.

on the watch for every improvement
which others in the same line have
adopted and which his employer has

Indoor Air and Health.

DR.. Luther H. Gulick Of the Russell
Sage Foundation. New York. calls at
tention to the need of further study Of
the effects of indoor air upon health.
This air." he says. "is somehow not
as good for US. even under the best
conditions of ventilation. as the open
air." He quotes Drs. Thompson and
Brennan of New York as thinking that
We ought to do away with all systems
of ventilation. and use simply natural
ventilation-open windows. On the
other hand. DR.. Leonard Hill Of Eng.
land finds the Plenum system Of ven.
tilation superior in its effects to open
windows. But DR.. Gulick holds that
present conditions are not right. and
that 1t still remains to discover what
must be done to make indoor -
