GROW, BUT DON'T SWELL.
Save Exertion of Boosting and Use 1t
In Doing Your Tasks.

1t is Wel for You TO have confidence
In your ability. but when it reaches the
stage OF 'sWell headedness" your value
to yourself or to any one else begins to
dwindle.
Some men grow With responsibility;
others merely swell The man who
swells has ceased to grow.
He has reached place where he
thinks he has an the knowledge he
needs, and naturally all growth is re-
tarded.
The best way-the most convincing
way to prove ones capabiIty is by
actions not words
The fellow who is continually brag-
gfng about what be can do Is seldom Of
much account.
1t is the man who does things In
quick intelligent manner who wins.
Such a man VIII be found at the top
because he deserves to be there
An concerns want him because he
not only accomplishes much rs the re
suit of his concentrated endeavor, but
his influence is good on tire other EN-
ployees
Save the exertion it takes to tell what
you can do ana use It III performing
your tasks In this way you viii q
so much consideration eventually that
you will not be tempted to brag.

HISTORY AS IT is TAUGHT.
A Plea For Really Neutral Textbooks
In Every Country.

History in every country is so taught
as to magnify that country, Children
learn to believe that their own country
has been always in the right and al
most always victorious, that it has pro
duced almost all the great men and
that 1t is in all respects superior to
all other countries Since these be-
liefs are tiattering they are easily alb
sorbed and hardly ever dislodged from
instinct by later knowledge
To take simple and almost trivial
example: Tie facts about the battle Of
Waterloo are known ia great detail
and with minute accuracy. but the
facts rs taught in elementary schools
viii be widely different Ia England.
France and Germany The ordinary
English boy inuagines that the PrIs-
slams played hardly any part; the ordl-
nary German boy imagines that Wei
Ington was practically defeated when
the day was retriered-by Blucher's gal
lantry. II the facts We're taught ac
curately hi both countries national
pride would not be fostered to the
same extent, neither nation would feel
SO certain Of liatory in the event OF
war and the Willingness to fight would
be diminished
II is this result which has TO be pre-
vented Every state wishes to foster
national pride and is conscious that
this cannot be done by unbiased his

court Reversed Judament.

The New Jersey supreme court has
handed down an unusual decision in
the case Of Philip Heinz against the
Delaware Lackawanna and Western
railroad. Heinz sued the railroad for
damages and got a verdict for S9,S45.
The decision was appealed by the rail
road on the ground that 1t was eXces-
sive. The supreme court sustained the
appeal and ordered new trial In the
second trial the award was 300
This verdict was also appealed. The
supreme court now rules the second
award was excessive and sustains the
drst judgment, which 1t rejected as too
large.

Thousands OF deaf people are today
