I believe in my job. It may not be a very important job but it is mine. Furthermore, it is Gods job for me, if I am honestly trying to do His will He has a purpose in my life with reference to this plan for the worlds progress. No other per son can take my place. 1 can take no other mans place. He has the same claim as a specialist as I make for myself Yes I believe in my job. May I be kept true to the task which lies before me-true to myself and to God who intrusted me with it.
 I believe in my fellow-man. He may n&t always agree with me. I'd feel sorry for him if he did, because 1 myself do not believe some of the things that were absolutely sure in my own mind a dozen years ago. That he may not agree always is of value only as it can make the life of today fuller and freer There is no aSsur- ance of tomorrow. l must make good today.-Rev. Charles Stelze, Sierra News

 We're never tired of talking of the glOries of popular government, and very few of us admit that we're ever tired of hearing about them, but what definite thing do we do to keep alive that little spirit of democracy which is native in the heart of every Ameri- can girl and boy? What do we do to feed it and tend it and water it? America depends for it's life, it's lib- erty, it's happiness on a wide-awake and conscientious citizenship but what do we ever do to build up such a citizenship? What do we do to bring the individual sprig of democracy to flower?-Herman Hagedorn in You are the Hope of tke World"

 Have you inventoricd yourself as worker this year? How did your inventory compare with your inven- tory of year ago? What do you think the result would be if your profession were to have you scientifically inven- toried? Would the final result show you to be an asset, a liability, good will or unearned increment? Inven- tories and self-surveys are fine things and determining factors. All should make one of each frequently. "I would be friend of

 Mothers, do you insist that your chil- dren shall go straight to school from home and come straight home from sch4bl without stopping at anyone's house unless they have your express permission. A word to the wise ought to be sufficient
 Quite often there may be seen on the school grounds a fine, large apple which has had one or two bites taken from it and has then been cast aside. Do you caution your children against wanton waste? Teachers may talk thrift" with all their might, but they can not hope to get lasting results without parental cooperation. While apples are expensive, the cost in money is not to be compared to the influence of the habit that is being formed and the bad example to others
 The reckless waste of paper by the average American school child would shock a thrifty foreigner. A few words are written, a mistake occurs the paper is thrown into the waste basket instead of being saved and used for scratch paper. Sometimes we are tempted to issue a certain amount of paper and allow only that much to be used in a given period of time, but this plan has many disad vantages. Beyond a doubt the teach CTS can accomplish more in their cam paign for thrift if the parents will help by teaching thrift at home, both by precept and example.
