His Employments
by DRJS.kIRTLEy

His sports form one kind of exer-
else but are not what we call en-
ployment. Some of his empIoyments
ne turns into sports, some of the
time; but usually they are work. moth
Ing but work
There are three reasons why he
must have some employment One Is
that he gets discipline by 1t, In In
dustry, in the adaptation of means to
ends, in foresight, In continuity and in
self mastery. Again that Is the way
ne Is getting ready for his career, for
those are the very qualities he must
have when he gets out into his life
work; and he must get them started.
as habits, at the habit making time
OF his life. Two things are required
character and efficiency; and he is
geting them. by means OF his work.
The third reason is that his services
are indispensable In the home, even
though his parents are rich enough to
hire everything they want done. A
servant cannot put the spirit of son
into his work and a child can be
a partner. Yet his work is more i'm
portant to him than to the rest of the
family.
Hardships and obstacles are dis.
tinct advantage to him Two mistakes
are often made. On the one hand, so
much may be done for him and so lit.
tie through him and in partnership
with him, that he viii grow up with
out any sense of responsibility to any
body for anything: on the other hand
so little interest may be taken In
what he is compelled to do that his
work will seem entirely unrelated tc
his own interests.
Three characteristics Of his work
are essential. 1t must be regular anC
definite. Even If 1t is a medley o.
disconnected chores, each must have
its own place in the days schedule
and he will be growing in the virtue
of system and order, anyhow.
His work also must be congenial, al
far as possible. His aptitudes are e
be studied and considered We know
how much that means. Handlers fathe
wanted to make lawyer of him anC
would not let him do some things
which his talents demanded that h,
should do. Michael Angeles fathe
tried to put him into government
position. They wanted Watt to stol
watching the tea kettle altogethe
and do more practical things; and h,
was willing to help around the house

While the ideal of all work is tina

A WIRY LITTLE AMBASSADOR

James Bryce, ambassador of Great
Britain to the United States, is one
of the youngest old men in official cir
cles in Washington. He is past 10,
and yet he is as active, physically
and mentally, as though he were 20
years younger. In the winter when
other men go about with Threats muf-
fed up and overcoats buttoned snug
ly about them, Ambassador Bryce is
frequently seen walking briskly down
Connecticut avenue with no wrap out.
side his frock coat Cold has no ter
rors for him and he stands the heat
equally as we'll. Some time ago he
had an appointment with Secretary
Knox at the state department about
noon, and at that hour the thermome-
ter lowered about 100 and mounting
higher. But on the stroke of the hour
in hustled Mr.. Bryce, looking cool as
g cucumber, ready for bushes and
apparently not worried over the OPP
pressive temperature that wilted peo
pie generally. Mr. Bryce is just as
d he is interested in everything. No

~ in the world. They even take
kind of pride in the fact
except at the first of the month when
the bills come in-and look with some
thing akin to pity on people who are
able to exist without spending so much
money. But New York must take
back seat in the matter of expense
with Buenos Ayres.
No doubt there are costlier places in
the world-mining camps, boom towns
and the like. But for settled regions
and established conditions, Buenos
Ayres prices seem to those elsewhere
like the Metropolitan tower to a bird
cage. II anybody knows of a more
expensive place he is advised to keep
the knowledge to himself lest some
foolish New Yorker undertake a visit
and never be able to count out his
money fast enough to buy a ticket
back.
When you arrive In the capital Of
the Argentine you are told that you
must regard the paper peso Just as
you would quarter at home. This is
all very well until you go to the bank
for supply of pesos, when you find
that they cost you almost fifty cents
apiece. After that you begin to study
the situation, and come to the reluc-
tant but inevitable conclusion that you
must adapt your finances to a scale
of living from half as much again to
twice as much as that in New York.
Not everything, of course, is higher
or even so high, as at home. Food
averages about the same, clothing is
not great deal dearer, carriage hire
is less, and jewelry, which comes In
from France under an insignificant
customs duty, seems like finding
money. But one cannot spend all his
time riding in carriages or buying
tewelry because they are relatively In
expensive Rents are staggering.
laundry is exorbitant, service of most
sorts is high and fuel is beyond the
dreams of avarice
Rents are probably at the bottom of
most of the other high prices. They
are more than double what they are
on the island of Manhattan. This,
too, without apparent reason. Buenos
Ayres is located on the edge of an end
less plain, with ample room to spread
out in three directions, and land does
not nearly approach in cost that of
New York. For property on the Aven-
Ida de Mayo, the principal street, 1,200
pesos square meter would be regard
ed as high price. This works out
at about $50 square foot. A plot at
Broadway and WAN street was sold a
few years ago at twelve times that
figure.
The only tenable excuse advanced
for high rents in Buenos Ayres is
cost Of building. Cement has to be
imported from Europe, and pine for
Interior woodwork from the United
States. Undoubtedly construction is
expensive, but not enough so to &C
count for rents. The deeper reason
seems, 70 be that for several years
Argentina has been going through a
period OF rapid commercial expansion,
with enormous advances in the value
Of agriculture and--to lesser degree
--of city lands. Property owners have
therefore come to expect and demand
unusual profits. II landlords told the
truth about high rents, IT could be put
In a nutshell I'VE need the money"
would be the answer.
Argentina's business is raising food
for Europe, but In Buenos Ayres the

SECRETARY TO KING GEORGE

Forty years in one job is not bad
record, yet this can be claimed by
Lord Knollys, King Georges private
secretary, whose retirement is now
imminent. He began his duties with
the late king when Prince of Wales
and has been the secretary of his son
and successor. He originally intend
ed to give up his arduous duties at the
death of the late king, and it was well
understood that he merely stayed on
in order to train in" Sir Arthur
Bigge. upon whose shoulders the re-
sponsibilities of the royal secretary
ship will now fall.
Such a post requires not only hard
work, but a keen knowledge of the
world, combined with tact, judgment,
decision and memory. 1t has been
said of Lord Knollys that no one could
hope to undertake his task with q

same time afforded him an opportun.
