First Attempts in
Learning to Play
Musical In
Strument

are often slow, irritating and dis
couraging. But when the piano,
violin or bugle is mastered it is al
most like the opening of a door
into a new world of pleasure and
profit.
1t is only by SWIMMING that we
learn to swim.
If you are only half in earnest
about anything, you will never get
anywhere worth while. Though
you have l1esitated, stammered and
blundered over your lessons, go at
them again. and again and again
until you win. A large part of
every mans future has in it the
figure of tremendous but success
full conflict.
When England's great Jewish
statesman. Benjamin Disraeli, first
entered the House Of Commons he
cut ridiculous figure. His maiden
speech was made in such grand
style and delivered with so many
extravagant gestures that he was
greeted with shouts of laughter.
Much disconnected, Disraeli
stopped abruptly, making the pro-
phetic remark, Il shall sit down
now, but the time is coming when
you shall hear me-"
From that time on he studied
carefully the style of successful
parliamentary speakers until in the
end his persistence, his wit and,
above all, his tremendous initiative
made him Prime Minister of Eng
land and the greatest prop of the
reign of Queen Victoria.
THE secret to success is con-
stancy of purpose" he declared a
few years before his death.
There were undoubtedly many
things done in our early work in
bringing up this business that we
would do differently now if we had
the opportunity; but in spite of all
we were led on to move straight
forward. between the critics on one
side of the road and the gibe-
makers on the other, until at last
we have established something
that we believe the people would
not be willing 10 do without.

Rabbi Criticises DR.. Cope

err, with joining hand and glove with
political leaders. and Gripping the eff

WAS based on the removal Of the divi-
sion Of industrial hygiene from the bu-
reau OF preventahle diseases.
Dr. Goldstein criticised DR. Copeland's
measures in checking the Influenza cpl
demic, and demanded that the New York
Academy of Medicine appoint COM
mlttee with Dir. James Alexander Miller
and DR.. s. S. Goldwater AS members, to
make an immediate investigation.
The Health Department is speedily
approaching a stale OF decentralization
and ineffec tveness," he said. I'VE are
told that the political clique now in con-
troll of the city, having failed in its d.
rect frontal attack OF few months ago,
have determined to accomplish their OBJ
ject through new indirect and subterra-
neous methods There seems good rea-
son to believe that this great funda-
mental instrument for communal service
is being prostituted 10 political purposes.
We still may be able TO save the De-
partment of Health, but we shall not be
able to restore to life those who have
been lost through Indifference, ineffi-
cheney and sublimated arrogance"
