The Lynden tribune. [volume] (Lynden, Wash.) 1908-current, 1911-02-02

In a church paper the other day W.
ran across this paragraph quotation
from one of the country's creates
manufacturers:
I'VE have had hundreds of boys IL
our office. and have kept in clos'
touch with them and their develop
n,ent; as a result, we have a pretty
well-settled conviction that the aver
age boy is not looking for an oppor'
tunitv to succeed. He is looking .oi
the largest immediate money return
rather than for an opportunity 10 i5e'
training that will increase his earn
ing mower for the future. Unfortunate
w. he frequently assumes that atti-
tude under parental guidance
believe the manufacturer but puts
into words the experience OF many
other employers. 1t is regretaple, pu'
nevertheless true We fear, that me
average youth is controlled by one
principle-to give the least he can ahd
get the most But, who is TO blame
This generation has, ] believe, reach
ed the top of an age of greed In my
own life. and / am but 40 years old,
I have heard men preach, Get money
get it honestly if you can, put get
money" as a daplorable principle, but
one necessary to success. Is 1t any
wonder that boys become lmoued
with the same idea?
What We need as nation is re-
turn to saner principles. We achieve
success not by the returns of labor
but by the labor. There is no con-
tentment in money, but there is con
tentment in the labor that brings
money or it's equivalent.
Why are more than half of the bis
merchants, professional men anu
captains of industry longing for q

heard some farmers argue that it was
because these big bugs" thought II
was "all play and no work on inc
farm. That isn't the reason. Most I'll
them know better Most of them got
their start in life on a farm. Theli
reason is that they have learned that
all the satisfaction of life comes
through work-work with the pod!
az we'll as the mind. Having left the
race track to the goal of true success
they are anxious to get pack-tha'

Don't tell your troubles to others
rather, listen to theirs. In the enc

Can't you get along peacefully wit
your neighbors? No? Well then, yol
