present emergency and financial
stress due 10 war conditions, ina bility
to maintain the school without an ex.

the pupils can be cared for in other

as well, it was deemed a wise policy
temporarily to discontinue it now
rather than face the certain necessity
of closing this and schools in the vi.

students here have been coming in

A QUESTION

All my life I've been told that the
average man is honest. And I've &C
cepted the statement. But I've begun
to wonder il that statement will stand
analysis.
admit that the average man won't
steal your money or your automobile
or your hat. And he'll return your
umbrella if you can prove it's yours;
which, considering the status OF UNI
brella ownership, is fair enough.
But Pm being forced to think that
the average mans honesty stops there.
For in the truest sense it isn't hon
est to exact more than a fair profit
out of your business, yet Hoover and
the Ultimate Consumer are having
the devils own time with wholesalers
and retailers and manufacturers and
eyen-in some cases-with laborers
who are determined to get theirs no
matter how much they stick their
neighbors.
II isn't honest to steal an inventor s
ideas or inventions, yet there is
scarcely one modern improvement OF
any Importance that hasn't meant
costly and continuous litigation before
the creator of 1t secured his profit and
pay. And the infringer of patents OF
the thief OF an inventors work gen
orally knows exactly what he is do
ing. He isn't under any honest mis-
apprehension, he's trying to get away
with something"
The whole business world is com
posed OF few leaders and host Of
smaller souls who initiate and assimi
late. Theft OF ideas and copying Of
models is almost trade practice in {
dozen businesses, and every chain o.
stores, every widely advertised article
Or commodity finds its competitors
aping its insignia, its trademarks, its
adyertising- @
The average man lives according t.
law-approximately; pays his debts
ordinarily; and doesn't steal pennies
from the blind" man, but When yo'
consider how you must watch ant
fight and toll merely to get an ordin
arily fair deal out of the game Of lif'
il makes you doubt the theory o
average honesty I'm not denying 1t
Inn merely raising the question:
the average man honest?
