KEEPING THE MIND CLEAR.

Working or thinking without sys-
tenn enfeebles the mind, and leaves
the mental faculties in a clogged con-
dition, so that they do not work
sharply. The mind must be clean for
seize and grasp with all its might the
thing it is attempting to accomplish
There is only one best way to learn
how to act: that way is the way of
system. systematic your thoughts,
your energies, your abilities. Learn
early in life to do this and 1t will prove
;he master habit that wins success.
Systemless men are always surpris-
ed that the heads of great enterpris-
es can find so much time for social
life, for hobbies. for travel. They
cannot understand it at all They
Go not realize that a man of great or
ganizing ability, with a splendid sys-
TEN, can do more effective business
in a single hour at his office than
a systemless man can accomplish in
twelve. 1t is not the number of hours
hut the effectiveness of the system
that tells.
One of the advantages of a college
course is that it trains the mind to
work by system. Whether he likes
to or not, the student is forced to
concentrate his mind when the time
comes, no matter what his mood or
how he feels. Four years of training
in this should put the mind into
working order. 1t should tune the
intellect so that all the strings will be
in harmony. A good college educa-
ton should train the mind to think
concisely. deeply, effectively at will.

HOW ABOUT 1T?

II the present system of city govern
ment is continued the people Of Pen
6leton will be called upon to elect
seven officials in December. There
will be mayor to be chosen, four
councilmen and a water commission
er. None Of these officials draw SAL
aries but they have much important
work to do. II conditions are the
same as ir the past there will be diff
ficulty in getting good, capable men
to run. Often the positions simply
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-09-01

so begging and whoever consents to
run gets the job. At the last city ell
ection only one councilmanic position
was contested. The other three men
went in without opposition and peo-
pie were glad to get them to take the
positions.
Would it not be better to have few
cr positions to fill; to pay the officials
Tor their services; then to select them
with more care and demand that they
give more earnest attention to theil
duties?
