The Boy or Girl
That Quits School
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1916. by Frank Crane)

Don't hustle. Think!
An ounce of intelligent getting ready
is worth pound of fussing.
Time spent in sharpening your axe
counts as ten times of hacking and
hewing
1t is certainly worth while to take aim
before you shoot.
There is some good in keeping everlast-
ingly at it, but deal Of humbug, too.
If you're doing a thing wrong, the
more everlastingly you keep at it the
worse you're off.
Nine-tenths of efficiency is prepared
ness.
If you are boy, go through school.
have met thousands of men in my time; I
never knew one to say he was sorry he
went to school; l never knew one who
had failed to finish his schooling that
did not say he was sorry for it.
Of all fools on earth the boy who will
not take an education when he has a
chance is the most sickening. He is de-
iiberately handicapping himself in race
where he needs every advantage.
He is giving the other fellows odds
when he needs for himself all the favor
able conditions he can get
He is laying up many an hour of hu-
initiation for himself, days of regret,
nights of bitter self-accusation.
He is pitting his immature judgment
against the accumulated experience and
wisdom of the whole human race.
He is indulging in weakness or laziness
or pique that he will pay for hundred
times over.
He is selling his birthright for a mess
of pottage.
He is laying up shame and pain for all
who are unfortunate enough to love him.
He is an ass.
He is monumental, three-star, prize,
blue ribbon, exhibition ass.
He is an ass of the longest cared and
palest gray variety.
God help him, for he won't let anybody
else!
If these few feeble remarks shall jolt
any youth into realization of the colos-
sal mistake he is making in quitting
school, l shall be happy.
We are opposed to corporal punish
ment and to all forms of violence, we are
confirmed pacfsts and opposed to mill
tarism but if there is any one thing that
makes us want to use large, bumpy,
hickory club it is the boy or girl that will
not go to school.
Of course, some people have achieved
success who never had any schooling.
True. Some people also got rich or ia
nous who had but one leg or were blind.
Shall we therefore op off a leg or put out
one eye?

A real Americanism is on the way-a
kind of American for which we will not
have to blush or make apologies.
Political parties at the time of its ar
rival will be glad to declare for it.
The people have always progressed
faster than political parties have.
An indication of this progress is con-
tanned in the sop that both of the big
parties throw out to the women voters
of the country, as a compromise to their
demands that women generally be given
the ballot.
Just as the advent of prohibition has
been foreshadowed for years by the or
ganization of model license leagues, by
the passage of home rule bills and local
option bills, and other compromise propo-
sitions, so is the equal suffrage OF
women foreshadowed by these party
platforms, which admit that it is all
right, wherever the women, by them
selves. can get it, but which admits, also,
that eve haven't the bravery to help
you"
Let's be thankful that these platforms
do not represent the limit of the brav-
cry of true Americanlsm.
Let us be thankful that our best
Americanism is outside party platforms,
and let us be patient enough to wait Tor
it to assert itself, possibly before this
campaign is over.

The Rich Mans Work.

Those who are born rich work

hardest OF all, their work is amuse-
ment For by some strange misun-
derstanding all the most tedious and
unsatisfactory means OF distraction
are termed amusement, betting,
gambling. travelling. dinner parties,
