PRESS LAWS To
PRESERVE CAME
Federal Legislation to Pre-
vent determination of
Birds and Animals.
By victor Elliott.

WASHINGTON. March 1O.-Fed-
eral legislation TO preserve and in
crease the supply Of game birds and
animals Is being actively pressed be-
fore congress. Supporters OF the
legislation declare that the great
number Of game animals which once
roamed this hemisphere has been
depleted and that many species are
in danger OF determination because
OF indiscriminato and IN many cases
useless killing.
Sen. Chamberlain OF Oregon. is
the author OF a bill now before the
senate committee on forest reserva-
tons and the protection Of game
which would establish throughout
the United States game sanctuaries
where the game animals birds and
fish could live and multiply in peace
and quiet undisturbed by gun or
line. The bill would authorize the
secretary Of agriculture 10 establish
by proclamation such game sanctu-
aries in national forest reservations
where the sanctuaries would be de-
voted TO the increase Of game Of all
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1916-03-10

Opposed to this is the attitude of another
class OF men who err in the opposite way by
thinking too deeply OF their future. They have
examined every occupation and find that none
will do. No profession is entirely satisfac
tory But they decide that they must do some
thing and so take up law medicine
temporary occupation until they discover some
thing fitted to their peculiar talent. This
course also rs dangerous in that It wastes time,
for nothing worth while is done by a man
in such state OF indecision. These men have
thought too much, while those OF the first class
have not thought at all
We must, therefore, find a course midway
between the thoughtless acceptance of what
ever fate offers and the indecision Of the
thoughtful slave of his own tastes To keep
in this middle course must discover what
our abilities are and act accordingly We
must do what find can do not what we
want to do. That is the secret of the proper
choice OF a profession. man is fitted for the
profession In which his brains are useful and
effective beyond the brains Of other men,
The mind OF every educated man may be
said to be developed along three particular
lines OF fitness. The first group we may call
scientific. To this division belongs the man
who is interested in facts. in their proper ar
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1916-03-10

sions in this group. For instance, good con-
sUlting lawyer frequently dips into finance and
is usually successful. 1t is astonishing how
large a number of leading discoveries in physics
were not made by physicists but by doctors,
and also how many discoveries in medicine
were made by physicists. The professions o.
each group are very closely correlated.
Therefore see that the only important
thing is to find the group to which each OF us
belongs. But the question is now how to decide
on the group. decision can be made here
in the college course. Consider which teacher
appeals most to you. the man who takes things
up in an orderly, logical way, the man who
treats things they related TO various
literary events In the present and past, or the
man who considers them in regard to their
practical worth use.
The man who treats Greek, for instance.
chiefly a philologtst who deals in analysis
and sythesis is a scientist, and if this method
appeals to you most you belong in the scien-
tifc group. II your interests are in literary
expression. IN poetry, not merely as the express
sion OF an idea, but as a magnificent way OF
expressing an idea, if the arts of music and
stage appeal, then you belong In the literary
class. Likewise if you only study to get your
work done. II you enjoy planning things in and
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1916-03-10

rangement and grouping. This type of mind
fits one for scientific work The second group
is literary 1t is composed Of men who are
interested in ideas. in their expression, and in
winning other men to a point of view similar
to their own in regard to these ideas Their
minds are communicative and their interest is
the exchange and discussion OF ideas. Then the
third group is practical People who care Cor
facts, Ideas and discoveries only as they serve
some definite purpose or tend to some useful
end compose this division
Each group has its profession; IN the scien.
tihc group are the physician, the engineer the
technologist, the scientific expert Of every kind.
the officer in the government civil service
The literary group is composed of these prOfes.
sions: preacher, teacher. journalist court and
jury lawyer, all these being lines connected
with the communion idea. In this group paint.
might also be placed. The consulting law.
yer the inancier, the manufacturer, the bust.
ness man, compose the third-the practical
group
But now granted that the group has been
found which satisfies the individual which of
the professions in II shall be taken up? II
does not make much difference A man who
decidedly belongs to one of these groups can
almost equally well follow any of the profess
