SUCCESS.

: 1t wasn't so very many years ago
when the ideals held up before .aspir.
ing American youth were exemplified
by the most notable cases of material
success. There is change in that
respect of recent years, due partly to
the fact that many of these examples
have been proved to be anything but
desirable examples for youth to fol-
low, and partly to the fact that there
has come over the American people
a strong realization that material sue
cess is not the only kind of success
worth striving for, that material sue
cess does not necessarily bring hap
piness and content, that the lives OF
those who have sacrificed everything
for material success are usually more
bitter than those who are poor and
that, in short. real success in this
world lies not in the rewards secured,
but in the service done To humanity

from passage in the Ta'mud (Baby

were SO tight that they could only
walk with short steps. BY this means
a greater opportunity was forded to

THAT CITY CHARTER

Sank Centre has charter
commission. In fact, Sank Cen
tire has had charter commits
sion for about year and a half.
This charter commission worked
nobly for quite a while and got
a new charter pretty nearly into
shape, when it took a rest for
about a year. Then the charter
commission got busy again
and promised to have a charter
all ready to submit to the voters
at the city election this year.
But the election came and went
and no charter was submitted.
Many voters of the city OF. Sank
Centre are wondering if Sank
Centres charter commission is
going to take another year or SO
to get ready to submit its work
to the public. The Herald is I'M.
able to answer that question.
The Herald believes the charter
commission will submita charter
in time. But The Herald, like a
good many voters, is rather in
clined to the opinion that it
would do no harm to hurry UP a
bit. The public is growing
weary of waiting. Why not get
that charter ready pretty soon
and submit it to the voters. No
matter whether it is accepted or
rejected. the public should have
a chance to vote on it. Gentle
men of the charter commission,
the public waits on your pleas
ure.
