PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

The best governed school |. ever saw
was one that had few rules, but where
| every pupil was thrown on his or her
| own personal responsibility
The best results | ever had in con.
trolling my own boys came through
| appealing to their better natures and
putting it up to them to do right on
their own initiative.
| told them my view of the case, then
informed them they had their own
lives to live and l was going to put the
responsibility on them-that / would
not force them to do right. but leave
them to do right of their own motion
1t never failed to work Their response
was immediate and gratifying.
We all know what is right. and in
our hearts we all want what is right
But so long as we think somebody
else will compel us to do right We
leave the responsibility to them What
we need is to stand on our own feet
and choose right for ourselves.
In other words. we need more of
sense of personal responsibility. We
need it because it is hest for us and
hest for the nation.
Government cannot make us good
Government can only restrain us from
being bad We must make ourselves
good.
Institutional restraints are largely
negative Positive results must be
achieved by the individual.
A good citizen is one who leads to-
ward better things. not one who is
dragged or driven to better things
Involuntary righteousness does not
count for very much in the building of
character.
Don't trust anybody or anything else
to make you what You ought to be.
Do it yourself
That gives You strength and conf
dence that the results are permanent.
Don't be moral learner.

"a LABOR.
So far as my observation goes, few
men work themselves to death
They may worry themselves to death
or dissipate while working aud so burn
the candle at both ends. but good
hard. honest work is tonic rather
than health destroyer.
Don't be afraid of doing too much
If you get the work habit the exertion
will not exhaust you. 1t is the men
who work by fits and starts that are
worn out by the unaccustomed effort
rather than those who keep plugging
at it all the time.
The only thing is to keep up your
interest. buoyancy and spirit If your
work ever becomes drudgery, then 1t
will wear you out. but not otherwise

THE oPTlMIsT.

If we are looking for good we can
generally find it The universe itself
is good All we need to discover that
fact is to relate ourselves to it in the
right way.
Pessimism is usually case of in
growing egotism
The world has not treated US in the
way we imagine we should b., treated;
hence we take a dyspeptic view of
things generally.
For the most part pessimism is self
advertised failure.
When we think everything and every
body else is wrong people will con-
Guide that we are wrong. and in SO do
ing they will hit the sore spot
] know a man who is always predict
ing dire calamities that never happen.
He is failure.
The same man is forever taking Of
the things he once did.
I know another man who let's the
things he IL doing now speak for them
selves.
He IS a success.
He Is also an optimist.
There are dire things happening to
the world-earthquakes. fires. floods
and disasters-but there are 80 many
optimists that they repair the injury
and build better than before.
San Francisco Is a greater city than
she was when slip in the earth's
crust laid her low
have no doubt that the many cities
that recently suffered from cyclone
and food will be better Eve years
hence than before the elements struck
them. They are filed with American
optimists. who have the will that tri-
umphs over accident.
Whether or not optimism is always
justified, 1t generally justifies itself. 1t
helps to make the good in which it be-
lieves.
Moreover. the optimist escapes
whole flock of forebodings about i'm
aginary ills.

SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN

Many good people seem to be alarm
! ed because there are number of new
cults In the world
Why, bless these dear, timid souls,
there have always been new cults.
Some Of them have succeeded and have
become the accepted doctrines of the
race Others have disappeared
But there was never much really to
be feared from any Of them
Today we are in state of transition.
A new generation is coming to the
front and is insisting on re-examining
everything--religion, politics. business,
industry, labor, therapeutics and even
our systems Of finance and taxation.
The young men of our age are not
content to take the word Of the past.
They want to know for themselves.
The so called new cults are merely
efforts to improve conditions.
Personally believe in some Of them,
and in others do not believe, but l
am not afraid of any Of them.
# they are not good they will not
last Meantime they will make people
think.
Truth Is not 50 puny that 1t need
fear one fad or thousand. 1t out
lives all fads. For IL the fads have
any substantial reason for being they
succeed and cease to be fads, and II
they have not they disappear and cease
to be anything at all
For centuries lot of good people
have said that man never could fly,
but man is flying. Now number Of
other good people are disturbed be-
cause so many aviators are killed.
Well. that is sad and deplorable. but
through this tragic experience we are
learning how to improve the aeroplane
so that danger is decreased. In time
it may become as safe to ride in the
air as on the earth or the sea.
Others are troubled because Of food
eults, healing cults. suffragist cults. the
labor movement. the new woman move
ment. shifting standards as to matri-
mony, socialism and what not There
is nothing to be afraid of in all these
things, Most of them profess to seek
