MALADJUSTMENT.

In the machinery of life are you
dynamo or balance wheel. an engine
or a cog?
Whichever you are. the important
thing to you and to the rest OF the
machinery is that you fill your place
without friction.
The world is big machine shop.
There are dynamos and belts and
shafting and cogwheels and cams and
pistons and what not
Every part-if the social machinery
is to run smoothly-must fit in its
place. II cog slips it disarranges
things. even the harmonious workings
of some of the big engines.
i The bad" citizen?
The bad citizen is poor piece Of
machinery which interferes with the
successful operation of the social ma
chine. II he works too badly and can
not be adjusted 1t becomes necessary
TO remove him entirely.
Which is both expensive and annoy
ing.
Most troubles In this world are
caused by maladiustment.
Crime, divorce. the whole list Of Ills
is largely traceable to the failure in
the art Of living together with other
people-in word. friction.
Most business failures come from the
same source. Round men get into
square holes. and vice versa.
Also
Men who are fitted to be balance
wheels are trying TO be motors. And
other men who should be engines are
working as mere power transmitters
1t is a fine thing to be able to hnd
ones place in life and fill 1t without
friction.
1t is great to run in ones place
without squeaking.
One of the greatest arts of all Is II
knowing how successfully to live ant

"Zum Weissen Rosse' ('sWhite

success. Every night the Frau d.
rector went to the cashier and levied
her 20 marks per thousand.
On one occasion, after the piece had
been running some months, bad wealth
er caused falling off In the receipts
below the thousand marks, and con-
sequently Frau Blumenthal was not
entitled to her 20 marks.
How much have you taken?" she
asked the cashier.
"Only OCT marks" was the reply.

ideal School Described.

M. Augustin Rey, Partisan archi-
tect, has described his ideal school in
a recent paper. He said that the bene-
fetal effects of the violet rays were
80 well known that it was criminal to
build in such a way that they could
not penetrate to every part of a room;
1t was doubly important that this
should be possible in schoolrooms. II
there was a choice between heat. ven
tilation, and sunshine we should see
that we had the sunshine first His
building was so arranged that the
classes should meet in the east rooms
In the afternoon after the morning
sun had thoroughly disinfected them
and in the west in the morning, since
the afternoon sun would have disin-
fected the western rooms on the previ-
GUS day. There should be plenty OF
ground and plenty of sand about
school houses. It Ia better to econo-
mize in decorations than in sunlight
and ventilation He said that while
this was his ideal school. he pre-
ferred the open air school.

California forest fire fighters have
hit on a practical idea to prevent the
spread Of CONGREGATIONS. In their
primeval forests when a fire has once
started 1t is liable to devastate enor-
nous tracts Of country, and so the
fire fighters make huge clearings-or
breaks, as they are locally termed
On the possible line of fires. These
breaks, which are fifty feet wide or SO.
according to the height of the forests,
are, however, rapidly filed with new
vegetation, and so to keep it from de-
stroying the usefulness Of the fire
breaks, thousands of goats are being
pastured free of charge by the gov
eminent in order to keep down the
growth of weeds and brush. Goats
will perform this service while pick
ing up a living, thus saving the
forest service much money every
year, which would otherwise go to
gangs of men armed with hoes and
other weed exterminators. Such small
growths are serious menace In case
of forest fires, as during the dry sea-
son they will carry the flames right
across the barriey designed to check
them, and then no one knows what
will happen.

that, what with pianolas and victrolas
