goal in sight. Why should we thresh
around in the world under the di-
rection of men Of infinite energy
and no foresight, or under the lead

still, or 60 back? What we need is
coordination, mixture Of dreams
and energy. We need a board Of

that can lay course and follow it..

A SCHOOLGIRL complained that
IA American history was SO 'littered

distinguished family in our national
biography lived in America one hun

into fame.
When the engagement was an

Mass, to the daughter of Parson
Smith of the adjoining town of Wey-

PROBABLY John Adams was

ID ROBABLY John. Adams was the
i unhappiest man who ever sat in
the presidential chair. One of a dozen
unwanted presidents, who were taken
only because the men that were want
ed could not be elected, this humble
role embittered all the remaining days
of the proudest man in the line of our
chief magistrates.
1t was hard enough for Adams to
be the understudy even of George
Washington, while serving as vice
president. When he became president
1t was maddening to his ego that he
should be expected to play second I'D

which controlled the Federalist party.

VALUE OF A PURPOSE

Mans ability to fix goal, is his
supreme and also his exclusive attri-
butte. The lower animals can 60
where they have been before and can
go where others have been, but man
alone has the ability to enter un-
charted space with a definite pur-
pose, a fixed goal for a guide. All
men do not make use of their abili-
ty to plan, which explains the success
of those who do. The man who
knows where he is going gets there
Others who never take the trouble
to think about their destination trav-
ell in circles and wind up at the point
from which they set out. Such men
are prone to bewail their fate and to
lay the blame upon the Vaccinations
of their more successful fellows, but
they have only themselves to blame
All men are perhaps not equally
equipped, do not share the planning
ability in equal degree with the sue
cessful, or if they do lack the ambi-
ton, the incentive, to carry their
plans into execution. A lack of am
bition in one direction may be Off
set by an ambition in another d.
rection, but there is no substitute for
energy in getting things done. There
is no need of goal unless you intend
to go to it. The men who plan and
do not travel toward their goal are
the men who, under the compelling
force of innate energy, move in cir
dreamers and are in class with
cles, but do not plan. These ma

dependently they do much to upset
it. We owe it to ourselves to i'm
prove our opportunities as individ-
uals and as groups, by study Of our
faults. Many more of us are capa-
BILE Of planning and Of performance
than are doing either. The trouble
is that we do not know where we
fall short. We know something is
wrong, but we don't know what it
is. The man who has been trav-
cling in circle all his life comes
back to his starting point and be-
comes respondent. He always be-
lieved he was on his way; up in the
front ranks of the vanguard of prog

establishment when he discovers
that he has been going around and
around makes him a pessimist. Such
man wastes a great deal of ener-
gy. That is pity! The world
needs every ounce of human energy
that can be generated. But above
all it needs energy and planning in
combination, or at least it needs the
energy that knows how to steer a
course for the goal already fixed.
Right now there are signs in this
country that we are about to set out
on journey in circle. We are
going to circumnavigate an ideal

ons to the stars that are dead and

document in our too often unhum--
history. When John Joined the fathers
of the republic in the great work OF
setting up the most masculine govern
ment the world ever saw, this mother
of the republic had to stay home to
rock the cradle, cook and patch Tor
four little Adamses and to tend the
farm. Milking and churning, knitting
and darning, teaching and praying,
toiling and saving, she supported the
family, inspired her husband in his
progress to the presidency, and reared
a son to follow in the fathers foot
steps. To Abigail Adams alone be-
longs the glory of having been the wife
of one president and the mother OF
another.
In the war, 1t fell to Adams to do
picket duty in Europe. Congress sent
him to France with thoughtful warn
ing to put in the bottom of his dis
patch bag plenty of lead or stone or
other weighty substance to sink his
papers. For his own neck no prOtec-
ton was proposed in event of the
British capturing siAer of the rebel
manifesto of July 4, 1776. Neverthe-
less, he took with him on the perilous
trip his ten-year-old son, John Quincy.
On the next voyage, he carried not
only John Quincy, but also his second
son, and they were shipwrecked off the
coast of Spain.
After five long, anxious years of sep
| aration from husband and children, the
mother herself sailed to Europe, and
the pioneer American woman to ap-
pear at the Court Of st. James was
Abigail, the farmerette Of Braintree.
Her presentation costume, according
to her own description, was white lutte
string covered with white crepe, fes-
tooned with lilac ribbon and mock
point lace, over hoop Of enormous
extent, and with narrow train three
yards long; also ruffle cuffs, treble
lace rufies and dress cap, with long
lace lappets and two white plumes.'
"You will be stared at great deal,
the Duke OF Dorset kindly warned the
Adamses. On the contrary, every back
in the court circle was turned upon
the Yankee rebels and Queen Charlotte
received Abigail with contempt and
scOrn."
