ORGANIZED INTELLIGENCE
NEEDED.

Let us grip the fact that the world
is becoming better. as the years go
by. Despite our Jeremiahs and
weeping Cassandras prophesying
Woe" the world has made enormous
progress for good during the period
since the great war began.
It has seemed to many serious
minded people during these latter
days that the moral foundations OF
civilization were unheaving; that the
bonds of faith between nations were
dissolving into faithlessness; that We
were reverting to the times when ev-
cry member of the human race stood
in fear of violence, and that humanity
might again be compelled to build up
by slow and painful degrees these
defences once thought to be perma-
nent,
We heard much of the cycles of
progress and retrogresslon, typified in
the fable of Sisyphus. doomed to roll
a stone to the top of the hill only to
see it roll down again. But let us
firmly grasp the fact that civilization
never has been rolled to the top of
the hill. And the retrogressions never
have carried it back to the point from
which it started upward.
But this brings us to another
thought. The great war has shaken
every continent, and its dying tremors
now extend around the globe. Equi-
librium will be long time re-estab-
fishing itself. Agitation, instruction,
even revolution. are the natural con-
sequences of the commissions through
which we have passed.
The world is again on the move,
and it stands in need of all the or
ganized intelligence it is possible to
bring TO it's assistance, if it is to be
saved from a catastrophe which might
have been greater than if we had
lost the war.

ATTRACTING DOMESTIC HELP.

For several years housewives have
been pleading with young women to
come into their homes and do house
work. They argue that the domestic
servant or hired girl" considering
value of food and room given her,
gets more than the store worker even
more than the teacher or stenog-
rapher.
But the girls refuse to come. and
prefer the independence of their pres
ent life. The only people that can
secure competent servants today are
those who pay more than the girls
can earn in other callings.
The girls say they like the regular
and limited hours of work of stores.
the freedom from evening and Sunday
toll. The house worker appreciates
being able to have callers in some
other place than her employers
kitchen.
Girls can be attracted back into
housework by giving them the same
uNSlcG VI lleSuOAu anu independence
that they get in other callings. This
means shorter hours than were ex-
acted of the old time girl for general
housework."
Households will have to live more
simply. The men folks will often
have to take hold and help clear away
the table and do the dishes People
will have to be content with smaller
homes that can be more easily
cleaned. Men will have to provide
their wives with vacuum cleaners and
electrical or gas appliances
During the war non English speak
ing and other workers often got high
pay in housework and other manual
labor. That condition can not last.
But the children of the immigrants
soon work their way up and are not
more inclined to domestic service than
the rest of US. To attract them,
housewives will have to make work
ing conditions compare favorably
with those in shops and stores.

A SERMONETTE.

The chief reason that the life and
teachings of Jesus appeal to us so
profoundly is because they represent
positive righteousness. Let US not
confound the word righteousness with
professional piety. There is a world
of difference between the man who
acts rightly and the man whose piety
is shown by praying three times a
day with his face toward Jerusalem.
Jesus was the first to give the
Golden Rule to the world positively.
He said: "All things whatsoever ye
would that men should do unto you,
do even so unto them" That means
action, doing things. The Chinese
philosopher, Confuc!us. about six GEN.
turtles before the Christian era. said:
do not unto others the things you
would not have them do unto YOU"
This is negative goodness.
Only to those who make it so by
positive action is life worth living,
and our activities should not be him
dered by the fear that We may make
ristakes. The man who has made no
mistakes is n failure. because he has
done nothing. His whole life is a
mistake.
This is a world in which a man
must do a mans part, and take what
comes for veal or woe. We shall not
In nd n
sure to come days when the bread
of life tastes bitter, and nights when
we look to the dawn with no joy. But
we must have faith. while knowing
this, that the Smooth shall blossom
from the rough" and we should know
that none but the coward and the
weakling shall import his downcast
mood into the living, working day.
Worlds of energy have been wasted
by people worrying over evils that
never come. or that are produced by
forebodings. The old doggerel ex-
presses it WELL
1.-THE worry COW would have liver till
now.
If she'd only kept her breath;
Afraid that the hay wouldn't last all
day,
She choked herself to death"
That COW wasn't thinking about how
many calves she could raise or how
much milk she could give nor even
of the green pastures that she might
still live to browse in. She worried
herself to death for fear the hay in
the rack wouldn't last through the
day.
This is really very good old world,
If we give it a chance.

WORK FOR THE SCHOOLS.

Organized intelligence depends
largely upon our public schools and
colleges. We must have our young
people educated so they will under
stand the problems of life ahead of
them, and we must have them edu-
Gated to making livings for them
selves when they leave school. Col
lege education must not neglect the
bread-and- butter problem. and voca-
tional education must not be so mar
row as not to make the student know
what relation his work bears to the
whole of human society. The man
who makes shoes must be more than
merely shoemaker.
1t is told of Emerson that he one
day vainly tried to drive a cali
through a gate at his Concord home.
Every time he would get the calf to
the gate IL would scamper off to the
right or to the left, and the old
philosopher would have to make the
chase all over again. At last an Irish
house, caught the calf by the nose
and then gave its tail twist. in the
old approved way known to every
person who ever worked on a farm,
and the calf went through the gate
with neatness and dispatch. Emer-
son studied the matter for a moment
and said: Il like people who can do
things"
Emerson was one of the highest
types of cultural education. and the
Irish girl was type of what can be
done by purely practical training. We
must have culture and we must also
know how to put the calf through
the gate with the smallest loss of time
and energy, M

An effort is being made by the
government to carry on the thrift
campaign, through the sale of War
Savings Stamps, as permanent Gus
tom-at least permanent while the
government needs so much money.
Reports come from eastern cities,
where munitions factories were abun-
dant and wages high. that men who
were earning a year ago ten and
twelve dollars day. are now seeking
charity's aid.
These men are spendthrifts, but the
average mans financial condition is
reported far below what should be
looked for under high-wage condi-
tons. Charging off all the discount
due to the unnaturally high cost of
living, there is yet balance of earn

there are no more saloons. SO long
as a better income means primarily

HOUSE FOR SUNSHINE

CHRISTIAN Science Monitor
One of the problems of modern
city planning is to get sunshine. For
example, to quote a Canadian city
planner propounding what almost
sounds like conundrum: How
shall a detached building be con-
structed and oriented so that not only
the exterior wall surfaces, but also
the surfaces of the ground around
them shall have the direct rays of the
sun for as long a time as possible on
December II ?" The problem. it APP
pears, can be worked out, and has
been, in the case of at least one town,
in which house and even each build
ing in the business section, is solu-
ton of this technical problem. 1t
appears also that the way not to do
it is to follow the long established
custom of many builders IN the north
temperate zone and square the walls
of the building with the points of the
compass, The town that gets all pos
sible sunlight has no north and south
or east and west streets, and the walls
of its structures stand at various an
giles with the weather vane, if there is
one, on the church steeple.

One of the most unique and exclu-
sive clubs that ever existed in New
York was the Society Of the Pointed
Boards" which flourished in the me-
tropolis some years ago. No one was
eligible to membership unless he had
a carefully cultivated beard of nat
ural and personal growth. and ter
minating in one symmetrical point
half an inch from the apex of the
chin, of sufficient evidence to pre-
elude controversy, At the annual
club dinners everything as far as pos
sible was made to harmonic with the
objects of the society, even the menu
cards giving evidence of the beard
mania, and the celery was even
served with its leaves trimmed to a
point.
