respectfully to every white man he
meets. the Indian of the west coast OF
South America is pitiable object.

anything from half n pound of tea to Il
200 pound trunk. You pay him what
you will; he dares not chatter about
price with a white man.
On the great plantations and in the
mines the Indian is virtual slave.
There is no free agricultural labor on
the west coast. Four days week the
peon must work for the great land
holders at the munidcent wage of 10
cents day. The rest Of the time he
may devote to his own acre or two,

The name Of Christiania dates back
only 300 years. The city which pre-
coded it was Oslo. the site of which is
now included in the area OF Christi
Inia. Oslo was the ancient capital of
Norway and existed some GOO years
before its name was changed to Chris
tiania, in 1924, after Oslo had been de-
stroyed by fire. King Christian ".
resolved, in spite of the protests of the
citizens, that the site Of the capital
should be moved a couple of thousand
yards westward to be nearer the fort
ress of Akershus and at the same time
decided that the town when rebuilt
should be named after himself.

FIT THE MAN TO THE JOB.
Square Pegs Are Not Made to Go into
Round Holes.

In the American Magazine is an ar
tIcle entitled Are You n Square Peg
In q Round Hole?" by Herman Schnci-
der, dean of the school OF engineering
If tho University of Cincinnati. Dean
81 lneider has devoted his life TO max
ing successes out of failures and 70
finding the right Job for the right man.
He believes that failure ia seldom moro
than an indication of the right path to
success. Among other things he says:
Every individual has certain gen.
eral traits; every kind of work has
certain general characteristics. The
problem is to interpret the traits of
the individual. classify the character
istics of the job and then guide the
individual into the job for which he is
supremacy fitted. This is one real en-
ployment problem.
There are very many human char
acteristics, but there are II few broad
and general ones which frequently
make for success or failure.
There is type of Il man who wants
TO get on the same car every morning,
get off at the same corner, go TO the
same shop, ring up at the same clock.
stow his lunch in the same locker, go
to the same machine and do the same
class of work day after day. Another
type of man would go crazy under this
routine. He wants to move about, meet
new people, see and do things. The
first is settled: the second is rowing
The first might make a good man for
a shop manufacturing standard prod
uct; the second might make good
railroad man or good outdoor car
penter. A failure in one line of work
may prove Il big success in another"
