1.-TWO hundred and seventy
years ago was formed the
New England Confed-
eracy." between Massachusetts,
Plymouth, Connecticut and New
Haven-an association of very
great significance in our coun-
try's history
Scarcely had the New Eng
land colonies been planted when
it was found that there had to
be between them some sort of
united action, and in 1913 the
four colonies mentioned entered
into a league which they styled
The United Colonies of New
England" or as it later on came
to be called The New England
Confederacy." At this time the
four little States contained thir-
ty-nine towns, and a population
of 24.OO0 1t may be said that
the Confederacy had a life of
forty-one years duration-from
1643 to 1854, during which time
it served many useful ends and
fully justified its being.

lies in being able to endure
contumely without resent
ment. For to-day there is a les
son in the letter of Lincoln to
Major General Hooker
Hooker had harshly and un-
justly criticised Lincoln, his COM
mander-ln-c chief, and he had en-
barrassed Burnside, his ranking
officer. But Lincoln waived all
this in Difference to the virtues
that he believed Hooker possess
ed and promoted him to succeed
Burnside. Lincoln wrote;
Here is the letter:
u must fear that the spirit you
have aided to infuse into the ar
my, of criticising their COM
mander and Withholding conf
dence from him, will now turn
upon you. l shall assist you as
far as can TO put it down.
But neithef you nor Napoleon,
if he we're alive again, could get
any good out of an army while
such a spirit prevails in it. And
now beware of rashness; beware
Of rashness, but with energy and
sleepless vigilance go forward and
give us victories"
One point in this letter is espe-
cially worth our consideration. I
refer to the habit of sneering,
carping, grumbling and critics.
fng.
The man who is anybody and
who does anything is surely going
to be criticised, vilified and mis-
understood This is a part of the
penalty for greatness, and every
great man understands it-and
understands. too. that it is no
proof of greatness.
Not long ago I met Yale stu
dent home on a vacation. I am
sure he did not represent the true
Yale spirit, for he was full of
criticism and bitterness toward
the institution. President Hadley
came in for his share, and I was
supplied items. facts data, with
times and places, for a peach of
roast"
Very soon l saw the trouble
was not with Yale: the trouble
was with the young man. He had
mentally dwelt on some trivial
Sights until he had got so out of
harmony with the institution that
he had lost the power to derive
any benefit for it. Yale is not a
perfect institution-a fact, l sup
pose, that President Hadley and
most Yale men are quite willing
to admit But Yale does supply
certain advantages, and it de-
pends upon the students whether
they will avail themselves of these
advantages or not
If you are a student in col
lege, seize upon the good that is
there. You get good by giving it
You gain by living-so give sym
pathy and cheerful loyalty to the
institution. Be proud of it. Stand
by your teachers; they are doing
the best they can. If the place
is faulty, make it better place
by an example of cheerfully doing
your work every day the best you
can. Mind your own business.

IL the concern where you are
employed is all wrong, and the
Old Man a curmudgeon, it may
be well for you to go to the Old
Man and confidentially, quietly
and kindly tell him that he is a
curmudgeon. Explain to him that
his policy is absurd and prepos-
ferrous. Then show him how to
reform his ways, and you might
offer to take charge of the con-
cern and cleanse it of it's secret
faults.
Do this, or if for any reason you
should prefer not, then take your
choice of these: Get out, or get
in line. You have to do one or
the other-now make your choice.
II you work for a man, in
heavens name work for him.
If he pays you wages that sup
ply you your bread and butter,
work for him-speak well of him,
think well of him, stand by him
and stand by the institution he
represents.
If put to the pinch, an ounce
Of loyalty is worth a pound of
cleverness.
If you must vilify, condemn
and disparage, why resign your
position, and when you are out
side damn to your hearts content
But so long as you are a part of
an institution, do not condemn
it.
Everywhere you will find those
out-of-job fellows. Talk with
them and you will find that they
are full of railing, bitterness and
condemnation. That was the

Hooker got his promotion even
in spite of his failings; but the
chances are that your employer
does not have the love that Lin
coin had-the love that suffereth
long and its kind. But even Lin
coin could not protect Hooker
forever. Hooker failed to do his
work, and Lincoln had to try
some one else. So there came a
time when Hooker was suped-

A PRACTICAL WORK BASKET
FROM BEST TO WORST

When President Wilson says the
industrial depression is psychological
and world wide, he makes a gener,
al statement which is not borne out
by facts. Great Britain, for instance
has not for some time enjoyed such
prosperity as that of today. Other
countries, too, are enjoying an un-
usual business impetus. In short,
from being country of the greatest
progress and prosperity, we have
fallen to one having the least. And
with no signs OF betterment till the
ubiquitous tariff, now doing such
deadly work, is repealed.
