HOW LONG WILL THEY STAND
FOR 1T

The great mass of the people OF
Bulgaria are bound by nearly every
tie to the Russians; the Greeks, as
a people, sympathize with the Allies
and their cause, yet the rulers of
both countries. THE first actively,
and the second passively, have
thrown their influence with the
Austro-, Germans. And all because
the rulers have been promised great
err power and their names will have
added luster if the European war is
won by the Central nations
1t matters not to Ferdinand of
Bulgaria or Constantine of Greece
what the toll in dead may be; 10
matter how many women and child
rem may be deprived of husband and
father. 1t is only their own vain
glory in case of success that they
look at. But the day is coming in
Europe when the people will rule;
then woe to their numbering am
bilious kings.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?-WORLD'S
TEST
(By Rev. DIR. Chas H. Parkhurst)

IL YOU are an employer and
young fellow applies to you tor
lob, there are two questions that
YOU will be apt to put to him. First,
whom do you know? Second, what
can YOU do? Even if he answers the
first satisfactorily but falls down on
the second, you will probably look
further before hiring.
You want man that can achieve
and that has already given proof oil
his ability to achieve. By that 1t IS
to be understood not simply one who
can do exactly what you tell him, but
one who has initiative SO practical
and assertive that he can take hold
OF his Job with certain degree OF
originality and show that he has a
knack OF doing things and OF con-
verting booklearning into concrete
results.
President Wilson is quoted as
saying, Achievement has come to be
the only patent OF nobility in the
modern world"
There has been organized III Chi
cago, under the presidency of Judge
Willis Brown FOUNDER of the Boy
City'D, society called the National
Youth Achievement Committee,
that has for its object to accomplish
what | have just stated-to take a
school-educated boy and make d
practical worker Of him. Its purpose
is officially stated in these words:
ITO furnish opportunities and IN
centive to boys and girls to apply
the formal instruction received in
the schoolroom for the production,
development and manufacture Of
things in the world oil actually. To
make efficient youth To dignity
labor"
The difference there is between
school and college learning and
practical efficiency is illustrated by
an experience of my own in junior
year. / had been studying survey
ing and could pass a first-class ex-
animation on what the book said
about it. Then l was sent out into
the open to calculate the height or
one Of the college buildings. | took
my measurements, read my angles,
figured on the data thus collected
and made the height of the building
to be approximately 500 feet, which
was 40 feet too much.
At that stage OF my development |
should have stood small chance OF
securing a lucrative position as civil
engineer. | knew, but | couldn't
do. My education lay upon my sys-
TEN undigested.
