QUOTATIONS

Whenever you go out of doors, draw
the chin in, carry the crown of the
head high, and fill the lungs to the
utmost; drink in the sunshine; greet
your friends with smile, and put
soul into every hand-clasp.
Do not fear being misunderstood;
and never waste minute thinking
about your enemies. Try to fix firm
ly in your mind what you would like
to do, and then without violence Of
direction you will move straight te
the goal. We 80
Keep your mind on the great and
splendid things you would like to do;
and then, as the days go gliding by,
you will find yourself unconsciously
seizing upon the opportunities that
are required for the fulfl1ment of your
desire, just as the coral insect takes
from the running tide the elements 1t
needs. Picture in your mind the sole,
earnest, useful person you desire to
be, and the thought you hold is hourly
transforming you into that particu-
lar individual.
Thought is supreme Preserve a
right mental attitude-the attitude of
courage, frankness and good-cheer. To
think rightly is to create.
All things come through desire, and
every sincere prayer is answered. We

are fixed. Carry your chin In and the

Yet through the land, by all report,
There yet remained one regal sport.
Come goodwe leave the dishes and the sundry kitchen chores
Let's pursue poundo sugar through the grocery
The sport exercised charm
On and on courtly
And many basket sought an arm
Whose wont stad and porty.
Odsfaith it missed no resident
From peasant up to president.
Yea even pursued his food written tells
So hared they butter through the market de
As keen kasers after peace,
AS glad as Karls sorry

Until they claimed their quarry.

Win guerdon of delight.

but that's all That isn't all What happens to Russia matters more to us than to any nation on earth except the Russians themselves.
 Americans of the future are being born and reared in hapless Russia today. These men or their sons will largely govern our great cities to- morrow and by and by they may gov ern the country as whole When they come to America they will bring with them their inherited prejudices and environment, just as our fathers brought theirs
 But our fathers brought an inner. ited prejudice for self-government and an environment of law and order These men will bring an inherited prejudice against government and an environment of anarchy.
 Our fathers hated the abuses of gov. ernment, but their remedy was to re- form it. These men hate the gov ernment and their gospel is to de stroy it. Be it President or congress czar or soviets, these future Ameri- caLs have been taught to believe that government is graft. corruption and oppression-a convenient instrument to enrich the privileged and despoil the weak and wretched.
 These men will not be Democrats because their fathers admired Jeffer. son, or Republicans because their fathers preferred Hamilton. They never heard of either of them. They never heard of Missouri. either. but that is where they hail from in their attitude toward our political inst!tu. tions.
 They can learn. That is the bright side of the picture. Go into our city high schools and ask who gets the prizes for exceptional scholarship Ten to one you'll find plenty of Russian names in the lists. Oh, yes, they can learn, these Russan,American boys and girls.
 Can We teach them? Will we teach them? On our heads be it if We dc not.
 We are thinking more earnestly to day of civic duty than in many d day before. On our heads be it if we SC conduct our political affairs as to con firm or even "Xtenuate inherited be tyranny.
