I wish every interested person
could read Creative Impulse in In
dustry," a book written by Helen
Marot (Dutton). This little volume
is so stimulating that can read but
q page or two at q time-and then
think ten pages OF my own. Miss
Marot explains so ably the general
idea OF this short article.
Stated briefly, the method Is this:
Your child's work should create his
personality. 1t should entice his
fondest dreams and lure him on con-
stantIy to better achievements. The
significance of the kindergarten is
the fact that he is there partly en-
gagged in solving his own problem,
in expressing his own Thought
image. He does not watch the clock
or listen for the dinner signal, or
hold himself back to q fixed level of
production. He goes eagerly on and
on from one personal achievement
to the next. '''
Keep your boy out of fixed
place of employment till he is TWEEN
ty-five, il you can. Six months is
ample time for him to stay in a
place where he is not learning every
day. Have him try another. testing
himself In every common capacity.
The boy who runs a hotel elevator
for half a year is already showing
signs of the servile weakling. Get
him out OF it, IL your son Is the VIC
tim of such dull employment.
II is pathetic to see an old man
working on the streets or at a dull
shift in q factory. That Is the place
for youth. Every boy should take
his turn at the dull wheel OF indus

next Thus by frequent changing,

learning, all may finally become
masters of some good work and
masters OF their own thinking as
well as makers Of their own des-
tiny.
That man who is working at q
permanent place merely for wages,
is already a lost soul. .

and IL determined to complete that

Another thing i must tell you, my
boy. When John Jumped his old j0D
and struck out for the high school
and higher destiny, he quit tobacco;
he was soaked in cigarettes ct the
time, and knew they were getting
him. So he quit straight on. and
has not touched tobacco for two
years.
Now, in my opinion, this break
ing away from tobacco was almost
as heroic &C beating back to the
school room. And am willing to
stake my reputation a. q Judge Of
