BE SINCERE
By H. AddingtOn Bruce

1t is told of a candidate for public office
| that, in the course of an address which was
| winning him loud applause, he was seen to
| turn and wink at friend seated near him
on the platform.
From the moment of this wink MS address
fell comparatively flat. He wondered at the
audiences changed attitude. He wondered
still more WhAa election day came and he
was soundly beaten at the polls.
Yet the explanation was simplicity it.
self.
Rightly wrongly, his audience of voters
had interpreted that wink as sign of in
sincerity. And the balloting was consequent
ly certain to go against the winking one, if
for no other reason than that people will not
knowingly intrust an insincere man with the
conduct of public affairs.
1t is the same in all professions, in all
walks of life. Insincerity repels, sincerity
attracts. And the insinecre are soon or late
relegated to the obscurity and ignominy they
deserve.
Nor does one have to betray his insincerity
by winks Or mods or shrugs of the shoulder
1t shows itself subtly through his face, his
words, his general bearing, no matter how
guarded he may be.
Quickly suspicion crystallizes into certain
ty, The spoken or unspoken verdict is:
"That man is sham. He is only talking
for effect. He does not mean what he says
He is out for himself, first, last and all the
time, and only for himself.
"He cares nothing for you or me. He does
not care whom he hurts, so long he gets
there Look out for him.
The very handshake of the insincere is
enough to put others on guard Always it
is either clammy handshake or an often
sively ardent one. In either case it sets the
nerves on edge.
And the eye of the insincere is telltale
eye. There is in it no CLEAN of honest en-
thusiasm, Of genuine sympathy but a lack
lustre, calculating, selfish hardness that re-
fleets unerrngly the heart beneath the SNUG
exterior.
The effort to simulate sincerity is too hard
No insincere man is capable of it for any
length of time Or on all occasions. And once
self-betrayal occurs penalty is certain, the
heavier the longer it is delayed.
t. All who would really succeed in life neeo
to keep this in mind Especially should it be
remembered by the young man launching on
whatever career he has chosen.
Let him, in anything, pretend what he does
not believe, and he is doomed to place
among the laggards Insincerity he will find
a crushing liability, just sincerity will
prove a wondrous asset.

THE WASTE-BASKET
BV DR.. Frank Crane


Steady, old chap! Get a grip on yourself!
You're going to need all your strength of
character.
I know how you feel I've been there
myself l sympatize with you But--do it!
Do it now! Take your courage in both
hands-and do it!
Throw it away! Into the waste basket!
There! Now you'll feel better. Go on and
forget it!
You see, you were holding that paper in
your hand so long, celebrating whether you
should keep it or not, that I feared you we're
going to add it to your already mountaino Gus
pile of junk.
OF course, you might need it some time.
You now have shelves cases, pigeon holes,
packages, envelopes, filing cases, and corn ers
full of truck that has ben accommodating for
years. stuff that you thought you might want,
and never did want, and if you did want it,,
didn't know where you had put it.
You are clogged.s
Your mind is like your desk drawer. 1t is
constipated, cluttered, hence fevered and in
effective.
ELIMINATED
Use the waste-basket more. Keep your desk
clean, and it will help you keep your mind
clean.
If your table is burdened and you don't
clear it up because you don't exactly know
where this belongs and that, remember there
is one grand place where everything belongs,
a place devised for the health of your soul
and the joy and peace of your days-the
waste-basket.
Like the horse-leech's daughter it contin-
ually cries Give Give!-Feed it!
For what grist you cast into its hopper
comes out as the sweet, clean grain of con.
tentment.
Neglect of the waste-basket results in ag-
gravating the habit Of indecision. And in
decision spells inefficiency.
Begin by promptly consigning things to
the waste-basket, and you will learn how to
get rid quickly of bores, buns, and beggars
how to turn down decisively a proposition
that does not interest you, how to step out
Of business where you are losing money
how to refuse to eat what you don't like,
go where you don't want to go and read
what you don't want to read, how to say
Eyes" at once and mo" Immediately in
short, how to decide rapidly and smoothly to
do what you ought to do and to decline to
do what you should not.
For almost all decisions turn, not upon
certainty, but upon a preponderance Of prob
abilities. You must be e skilful weigher.
And the way to cultivate the habit of de-
csion is to decide.
And the little fairy that will help you do
this, if you will only use it, is

a MORE needless anu dAIOSSIAeI
"A warranted resolution could hardly be
imagined than that introduced in
the Georgia Senate Wednesday proposing to
inject into the next State Democratic pri-
mary the oft-settled and outworn issue of
moving the capital to Macon. Surely the
proponents of this plan must see it's folly
and unfairness. To drag such matter into
a forum crowded with vital questions and
submit it to only a part of the electorate
having no authority to decide it, would be
arrant trifling. The sole result would be en-
genderment of i'll feeling between those who
ought to be working heartily together for
the common veal.
The Constitution of Georgia prescribes
one method. and one only, by which it can
be amended. 1t specifies that a proposed
change, such as removal of the States
seat of government first shall be agreed
to- by two-thirds of the members both of
the House and the Senate, and then shall be
submitted to the voters-not in party
primary, but in a general election. The faith

I 7 1NIING inc adopt1On OF superintendent
Brittain's recommendation that coun-
ty school superintendent be elected
py popularity chosen boards rather than di-
rectly at the polls, in the heat and tangle of
POLITICS, the Savannah Morning News well
says tnat these officials should be skilled
men, CHOSEN not for their political prom
lnence Cor prowess), but for their knowI-
cage OF the task they undertaken politics is
not good for schools"
The wisdom OF this view, long evident to
close students of educational affairs is ap-
pealing more and more strongly to the
thoughtful rank and file. Many who once
felt that democratic principle required the
election Of county school superintendent
along with those who make laws and per-
form functions of a distinctly representative
nature, are coming to see that these two
types OF public service are quite different:
and that while it is to the peoples interest
to choose the one by general ballot, it is
Just as emphatically to the interest to leave
the selection Of the other to men especially
commissioned for the purpose.
The qualities and attachments that make
an efficient superintendent of schools are as
likely as not to make the poorest sort of a
politician indeed, the best school man, as a
rule, will have sharp aversion to politics,
and certainly will begrudge every moment
that 1T takes from his professional duties.
Yet, If his tenure depends on the adroitness
times, how can he be steadfast in the diff
cult paths of his work and true to it's higher
leadings?
Or can the majority of US, Impressed as
we are in demands of the farm, the office
and the shop, competently judge of the fit
ness of an applicant for a position that re-
quires highly specialized training well as
NAIVE capacity? Surely board Of citizens
expressly assigned to this task and giving it
persistent thought and effort can do better
by the schools than the hurried mass of us
compelled to choose without special investi-
cation and ofttimes amid a labyrinth of per-
sonal and petty politics 1t is the good of
the schools, after ALL that is supremely i'm
portant. Any plan that initiates against
their best administration and the best OBJ
tainable results for the children, is bad
plan and ought to be abolished.
1t is greatly to be hoped, therefore that
the General Assembly will see fit to place
the selection of county school superintend-
ents within the province of boards com
missions, themselves elected by the people,
and to leave such boards free to seek the
best man regardless of narrow county lines
