Educators Of a pessimistic xurn OF
mind tell us that it cannot be done
that the humber of children is too
large. the teaching force too small the
school facilities toe meager. the
amount Of money devoted to education
too inadequate.
But all of the adverse conditions can
be remedied. Even now earnest, de-
voted men and women are seeking and
finding ways and means.
As In the advancement OF every
worthy cause, every one can help II
he will give time and thought The
world can find the money to finance
its improvements. It is harder to
arouse the spirit Of personal service.
GOING THE SANE WAY TWICE.
my mother, who was an Indian,
told me never to go the same way
twice, and l never do. That's why
they don't get me-"
So spoke Victoriano Huerta. provi-
sional president Of Mexico Up to that
time his enemies had not "got" him.

he went on to explain that what he
meant by not going twice the same
way was continually STEERING his
course. so that the foes who beset his
path should never know where to
waylay him.
A good doctrine. perhaps. for the
provisional president Of Mexico, living
in constant peril OF death and pos
sessed Of some shrewd wisdom.
But not applicable to the lives Of
ordinary men and women.
They must go the same way twice
and hundred times and thousand
times and more II they wish to achieve
results
Success means the laying Of foun-
dalton. Repetition means experience
and facility of execution.
The famous doctor who made thou
sand experiments before he found q
remedy for terrible disease
He went the same way twice and
many more times. did he not?
And the scientist in his laboratory
who tried material after material be-
fore he found one suited to his pur-
pose-he also Travelled the long, weary
road OF repetition. The writer seek
ing diligently for the one word which
would express his meaning exactly, the
housewife spelling materials before
she cooked the dish as she wished to
have It, the stenographer making a
seemingly endless succession Of pot
hooks" before facility In their use
came
They all travelled well worn roads
backward and forward.
