We have here in Berea in each de-
partment a gold mine, a wealth OF
knowledge OF those things that
build character, OF the religion that
spreads its powerful influence ev-
erywhere.
Are we going TO be miserly and
keep this for ourselves alone9 mol
This summer we must put forth our

students who will share this wealth
with us. And IL is our duty 10 di-
rect each and everyone 10 the de-
partment which contains the most

things that your department does
not offer, direct him to another. even

mer and direct all who thirst for
knowledge. or even a stronger char
acter, TO Berea.

SHOULD WE TEACH HOME
INDUSTRIESf
Lauda Whit

There are several reasons why
home industries should be taught
in county schools, though to teach
IL Is q somewhat difficult problem.
Our first difficulty will be TO get
the parents or older people TO see
the need OF il. The majority OF
country folks still remember the
hard work that their mothers and
grandmothers had TO do when the
home industries were carried on
in almost every home. The work
till late evenings and again in early
mornings, the noise and botherment
OF wheels and looms are not q
pleasant remembrance OF home in
dustries. Then the homemade
towels, blankets, etc, have grown
10 be so common that mothers and
housewives desire the "fotch-on''
kind and are often ashamed for
guests to use the homemade linen
and other articles.
Another difficulty is in finding q
way 10 teach it. Teachers know
but little or nothing about IL, and
are not equipped 10 teach it. Looms
and spinning wheels are scarce
where they once were plentiful. and
the sons OF the men who used 10
make them are not so skilful as their
fathers were. They, like the girls
OF mothers who could spin and weave
have forgotten and are glad Of II.
But as TO why this should be
taught? In the first place the av-
erage farmer does not have the
money TO buy all the things neces-
sary for the home and family. II
these could be made flor they have
the materially the average home
would at least have the necessities
The homemade cloth that is woven
lasts much longer than that bought
from the stores, and is more beauti-
full TO those that do not weave OF
grow accustomed 10 IL.
Another reason why this should
be taught is this: il gives the coun-
try boy and girl a training that
they do not get from books. The
hand and mind are trained TO-
gether. At present the country
girl, especially. does not do enough
Of the kind OF work that developes
her into strong womanhood. The
physical side OF life is practically
undeveloped and when this is neg
ected her mental and spiritual life
are also undeveloped.
The country boy and girl have
more time than anything else
Amusements, as we have them In
the cities, do not bother them for
they are too far removed from the
isolated country home. SO II their
leisure hours could be spent in some
interesting thing in home industries
character would be developed and
the home Of country boys and girl,
would be better furnished, happier
and more beautiful.

is the greater. At any rate, this
thot may encourage us to sweep I'M
der the door mat, or return a bor-
rowed book, or sew ON a missing
button, or pay our debts.
Faithfulness TO the common places
OF daily life is just as much part
of religion as Bible reading and
prayer. They go together, and each
strengthens the other. Do get each
days lesson as il is assigned, the
daily exercise TO keep your note
books up; TO battle regularly; TO
keep your room in order. All these
may be as religious as prayer. And
I believe that one who is faithful in
these will be faithful in daily Bible
reading and prayer.

but transitory experiences. Faith
fulness in any line brings its own
reward.
Last but not least comes faithful
ness in prayer. And I think I can't
do better than TO quote from one Of
Professor Raine's sermons Of two
year ago in which he told us that
the blessedness OF prayer comes
not when we report TO IL as predi-
cament, tho that is advisable, nor
even as a preparation for some great
task. but the greatest blessing comsu
from prayer as a program.
Tennyson gives MS similar
thought in verse:
Speak TO Him thou, for He hears
And spirit with spirit can meet;
Closer is He than breathing
And nearer than hands and feet"

THE GREATNESS OF THE CON-
MON PLACE

A noted lecturer once said that he
knew OF nothing that should develop
character more effectually than
washing dishes. To do the same in
significant little job three times ev-
cry day, knowing that in q few
hours il all has to be done over
again-to do il well and cheerfully
requires heroism. Those OF us who
have had experience can understand.
what he meant. There is nothing
much harder than TO be faithful to
the petty little duties that have to
be done every day, with no apparent
results.
have always had great admira-
alton and respect for the second
team-whether in football, basket
ball, or anywhere else. II seems TO
me that the man who knows he can
never make the first team yet prac-
tices faithfully and regularly on the
second team, knowing that no praise
and honor are coming his way, is a
greater hero than the star player
OF the first team.
The world needs few leaders, a
few geniuses, perhaps a Theodore
Roosevelt, but il owes its greatest
debt Of gratitude TO its thousands
of faithful plodders. We cannot all
be leaders but we can be plodders
who do the work Of the world, and
keep il right side up.
Someone puts IL:
The test of greatness is the way
One meets the eternal every day"
like better a less elegant but
more forceful way Of saying IL:
You're sick Of the gamer" Well
now that's a shamel
You're young and you're brave and
you're bright
You've had a raw deal?" I know
but don't squeal,
Buck up, do your bravest, and fight
It's plugging away that will win you
the day
So don't be a piker, old pardl

It's keeping your chin up that's

Just plugging away and keeping
your chin up count for more than
many a brave or noble act that you
may aspire 10.
One Of my favorite quotations is:
The faithful performance Of the
common places OF daily life is the
best preparation for any great de-
mand that may suddenly break in
