An Easy Job

Ga Mistake of Parents. by Charles F.
Thwing, IL. D.. President Western
Reserve University
One chief defect of the American
parent is the desire ror an easy lot
for his children.
He has himself endured p%rivations
and limitations in his own youth
He has determined that his children
shall have freedom and JOY.
He himself has known the bitter
ress of poverty-and ne now calls it
bitterness-and he is eager to give to
his children luxurles-luxuries for
their appetites. for their eyes and for
their other senses
He has known the ache of wea1i-
Tess, the necessity Of obedience OF
strict commands, the shortness of the
hours for play and the length of the
hours for work
He believes that his children should
have little or no WORK, much play, and
liberty for the indulgence of every
wish.
Such an opinion and endedv-
or are not creditable to the heart
Of the average American parent.
Such an opinion and endeavor are
not creditable to his judgment. The
rich American parent has a hard task
properly to bring up his children But
he should realize hat prompt obedi.
ence, freedom from exciting and
therefore exhausting, pleasures, the
hardness and the WEAKNESS of work,
are not only among the greatest Of
blessings, but also are among the most
efficient forces and conditions for
making his children strong in body
and mind, self-respecting. conscien-
tious and efficient.

There are certain obvious condi-
tons in which the American parent
should be willing for his children to
secure and endure hardships,
The first is the school.
The American youth studies the
least in his school years Of the youth
Of any civilized nation.
He ought to increase the number of
his hours Of work by a large percent
age.
One distinguished schoolmaster ask
ed another recently this question;
Does the American schoolboy study
as hard as the English schoolboyG"
The answer was; mo; but he ought
to study at least half as hard"
Only one-half of the days of the
whole year are school days, and in
these school days for most boys the
work is not difficult
The number Of the days themselves
ought to be increased and the number
Of hours in each day devoted to study
should receive a similar increase.
4 second field in which the youth
should be obliged by his parent to
work harder is found in business.
The m~iddle-aged and old men work
hard, perhaps too hard. The younger
men ought to work with an enthu-
siasm and seriousness somewhat akin
to that of their elders.
The sons of rich men in particular,
should, beginning In their third dec
ade, devote themselves with energy
and patience to their jobs.
Parents should oblige their boys to
work hard in the first year Of busi-
ness and equally hard throughout the
school life which leads up to bust
ness.

THE WAR A MINOR FAC
TOR

m HERE are people who
W have been misled into
believing the country's
widespread prosperity is chief
ly due to war conditions. FL
nancial reports, which are
nothing if not cold blooded,
show the war is a comparative
ly small factor in the situation.
For instance in the Henry
Clews financial review for
April 8 appears the following
New corporations reported In the
principal eastern states for the last
three months aggregated sS31,OO 600,
compared with $175.O OO.0 900 at the
same time last year and S229, 900, 600
in 1914. Fully $500, 600. 900 or more
of this years amount was due to re-
financing; but. making full allow
ances, there was probably double the
usual activity in this direction. The
amount of new capital devoted to war
purposes reported since January l was
$1SS, 900, 900 and since the war be-
/ gan, twenty months ago, the total re-
ported is $307,0 coo, 600; indicating
that while the war has been a pow
erful stimulant. it probably represents
much less than a quarter of our pres
ent activity.
The showing is highly Opt
ristic because the fact that
three fourths our new business
lis due to home conditions, moi
to the war, indicates the pros.
perity will continue even after
hostilities in Europe have
ceased.

PAPER FAMINE
HITS PUBLISHERS
Paper Company Man Ex-
plains How Advance is Met.

What it means to publishers of
newspapers and the proprietors of
job printing shops to be combed of
their profits, and sometimes even
more, is beginning to be realized
by the men engaged in that busi-
mes, said Colonel w. X. Wylie,
secretary of the Johh Leslie Paper
company of Minneapolis. Accord
ing TO Red Wing Minn.) Repub-
lican. which follows: He was dis
cussing the phenomenal advance i'll
the price of news printpaper and
other qualities of paper stock.
No newspaper in our territory
could exist III face of the remark
able advance unless prorupt and
sweeping steps were taken to some
how recoup the losses" Mr.. Wylie
says. Some places the subscrip-
tion and advertising rates are adj
vancing while liz others the sub
scription remains the same, but the
advertising, the backbone of the
newspaper, must be stiffened inso-
far as rates are concerned. Sub
scription lists are being carefully
scanned, exchanges reduced and
free patronage" is eliminated. In
other words there can be no leak
age if the average newspaper shop
is to get by today.
Heretofore, during the period
before the war and almost up to
the present time, the price of print
paper has been about $500 for So,
600 pounds. Today in round
figures, the cost is about 81 900 for
that same carload and our mills
will not tell us that the highest
point has been reached.
''The normal price of printpaper
has been g 10 > '-~nslred TODAY
it is quoted at S., an increase of
$3.50 hundred. Figuring the
$4,000 pounds to the carload, the
actual cost today in excess of the
normal cost of car of news print
paper would be approximately
81 l,o50. That figure means that
the publisher must pay that much
