HUMAN LIFE FIRST.
80 Called Efficiency That Speeds Up
Men to Breaking Point 10 Waste.

80 Called Efficiency That Speeds Up
Men to Breaking Point 10 Waste. :
The inefficiency of efficiency" has
proved both costly and brutal. Every
system of efficiency Of the future must
consider human life first. II human
life is to be jeopardlzed by haste, don't
hurry. If human life is to be sacrificed
by speeding up efficiency, be less ell
cient. If the human body Is to be
MANNED or destroyed in order to Sc
cure speed and power, get along with
less power. This doctrine Is not mere
" sentimental; 1t is more than re-
Election of the woe and heartbreak that
follow the cruel strokes of industry
and traffic.
Human life is the only thing In the
world that has any value; all other
values are derived from serving this
primary value. The asset of the aver
age man, the only thing that stands be-
tween his family and perhaps future
dependence on charity, Is his earning
power. Some plan which capitalizes
his future earning power, his physical
strength, must be incorporated In the
efficient industrial system Of the future.
An enormous vitality gain has been
achieved In the earlier stages Of life.
A much larger percentage reach ma
turity through improved methods Of
sanitation, but the human machine be-
gins to 60 to pieces at tifty-dve. 1t is
| the result of the heavy strain In the
United States, product of our mod
ern life. 1t is tile outgrowth Of the
worst form of inefflciency, of an at
tempt to be efficient without properly
counting the cost.
Think Of the value of lives snuffed
out at flfty-fve! Just when these lives
have reached their maturity of power,
when knowledge has become wisdom,
when Judgment has become well bal
anced-f1fteen years of the choicest
part of their lives snuffed out
4 A man should be at his best up to
seventy. If man disappears at fifty
five he is inefficient, no matter what
he has done before that time-ineff1.
cient because he has thrown away the
ripe fruit of all his life.
It's inefficiency, though the man and
the system may call 1t efficiency Oar

GREAT
CHURCH.
MEETING
Lutheran Free Church Of
America Will Hold An
nual convention Here
900 REGULAR DELEGATES
Rev. z. Berntsen Says That
Over l 900 Will Be in At
tendance at Meeting

One of the greatest church meet
fngs ever held in this city will con-
vene here on Wednesday, June ID,
when the Norwegian Lutheran Free
Church OF America opens its annual
convention. In attendance will be at
least 500 regular delegates from all
over the United States with fully as
many unaccredited visitors, interested
in the work Of the convention.
Rev. Il. Berntsen, pastor Of the Pom
toppidan Lutheran church, has an
nounced that he has received word Of
the acceptance Of the invitation of the
Pontoppidan church to meet in Fargo,
1t having been intimated that the
meeting would be held here If an in
vitation could be secured. There was
no delay in extending the invitation.
Rev. Mr.. Berntsen stated this morn
ing that even the tentative arrange
ments have not yet been made for the
meeting, but said that work would be
started on this at once in order that
everything will have been completed
when the day Of the opening Of the
great meeting arrives.
Probably a good many of the meet
ings will be held in the Pontoppidan
church, which has just been complet-
ed and occupied by the congregation.
This is a large and beautiful church
and will probably be large enough for
some of the sessions, though Rev. Mr..
Berntsen stated that 1t is probable
that the auditorium will have to
be used for the services on Convention
Sunday.

.DEANER TO ADDRESS
POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY
At Wednesday Evening Meeting Will
Speak on Individual Work in
Public Schools.

The Polytechnic society will be adj
dressed Wednesday evening by Supt.
Arthur Deamer of the Fargo schools
on the subject, Individual Work In the
Public Schools.
To give every boy and girl as good
an education as possible Is the aim Of
the school system, but the difficulties
are many. Fargo with its rapid growth
In population has found 1t a great
problem to provide even rooms in
which the pupils may be cared for.
But that the individual is not being
forgotten is shown plainly by some Of
Mr.. Deamer's remarks at another
meeting not long ago, although this
particular subject was not under dis
cussion.
"After all the school problem is
what is best for John and Mary. The
schools look out for the backward and
the average child fairly well, but what
about the bright child?" Evidences
of increased opportunities are shown
already by the opening Of mid-season
classes.
The discussion will be opened by
Professor Weeks Of the department
of education of the agricultural col
lege. The meeting is at o'clock in
room % Of the engineering building at
the agricultural college, and is open

PURPOSE OF LIFE

Purpose Of Life" was the subject
of a theosophical lecture given last
Sunday night at $40 Ninth avenue
south. "Those who do not understand
that man is a soul look upon this per-
sonality as the self, and consequently
live for it alone, and try to regulate
their lives for what appears to be it's
temporary advantage. The man who
understands, realizes that the only
important thing is the ufo of the soul,
and that it's progress is the object
for which the temporary personality
must be used. Therefore, when he
has to decide between two possible
courses he thinks not. as the ordinary
man might, (Which will bring the
greater pleasure and profit to me as
a personality" but (Which will bring
greater progress to me as soul?'
Experience soon teaches him that
nothing can ever be really good for
him, or for any one, which is not
good for all, and so presently he
learns to forget himself altogether,
and to ask only what will be hest for
humanity as a whole" E
The Theosophical society will meet
next Sunday afternoon at o'clock at
the home Of Mrs. e. o. Chase, $40
Ninth avenue south. The subject Of
the lecture to be given will be 1.-THE
Powers Of the Soul"
