The Americans Creed

The Chicago superintendent of
schools has ordered every pupil in
the seventh and eighth grades to
memorize "The Americans Creed"
1t contains thoughts on good citi-
zenship which should be familiar
to every child. The creed follows !:
81 believe in the United States
of America as a government of
the people, by the people, for the
people; whose just powers are
derived from the consent of the
governed; a democracy in a re-
public; sovereign nation of many
sovereign states; perfect union,
one and inseparable; established
upon those principles of freedom,
equality, justice, and humanity for
which American patriots sacrificed
their lives and fortunes.
81 therefore believe it is my
duty to my country to love it; to
support it's Constitution to obey
it's laws; to respect its flag; and to
defend it against all enemies"

The Impulse to Work is
Not Always Spontaneous

Il study only when l feel like
it," high-school student remark
ed to an old friend; and the other
replied, THAT is good. But of
course you take yourself in hand
and make yourself feel like it,
when it is time to study"
The impulse to work may be
spontaneous. There are some
mornings when we wake eager for
the waiting task, and we take it up,
assured that the days work will
be pleasant and successful. And
there are other times when we
wake and the thought of the work
which belongs to us is burden
some, distasteful.
What is to be done? Shall you
neglect your work because you do
not feel in the mood for it? That
way ruin lies. Shall you take it
up listlessly, reluctantly? That is
better as a discipline, but, as far
as results are concerned, it is
worth little more than sheer me-
glect.
The thing to do it to make your
self feel like doing what you have
to do. Deal with your feeling of
reluctance as you would with a
stinging insect that had intruded
on your privacy. Get rid of it
Fill your lungs with fresh air
your mind with pleasant thoughts
and start the days work with q
determination to enjoy it.

"BRICHTEN THE
CORNER WHERE
YOU ARE
Practice Economy in the Non
Essential But Not in
Precious Things

1t is good idea to practice eco
nofy in the non-essentials, but do
not make the mistake of being eco
nOmical in the use of the most
precious things. Some women are
as sparing of loving words as If
they were afraid that they would
use up all the available supply.
Others are tremendously economi-
cal Of smiles, only putting them on
for especial occasions, and for
every day wearing a look of shah
by discomfort.
1t is a good thing to learn eco
nomy in the use of spending
money. 1t is an excellent thing to
be economical as far as clothing
goes, to learn to- make over an
old dress so that it will look like
new, and to renovate the faded hat
till it has to be examined closely
to show that it is not fresh from
the milliners. Be as economical
as possible in things of this sort.
But do not try to be saving in ex-
pressions of love. Never econi-
mize in kind words. You can be
extravagant as you please in ten
derness and appreciation, for how
ever much you use, there will al
ways be plenty more at your dis
posal. There is sometimes an in
sufficient supply of the less i'm
portant things like money, but of
the essential things, joy, kindness
and loving helpfulness, there is
such an abundance that it is a
shame to us if we do not use them
lavishly.

Advice to Correspon-
dents--Also, Editors

Never state as fact anything
you are not certain about" the
great editor warned the new re-
porter, "or you will get us into a
libel suit. In such cases use the
words, alleged claimed, 'reput-
td,' and so on"
And then this paragraph ap-
peared in the society columns of
the paper:
''It is rumored that a card party
was given yesterday by number
of reputed ladies. Mrs. Smith,
gossip says, was hostess. 1t is
alleged that the guests, with the
exception of Mrs. Bellinger, who
says she halls from Leavitt's juno
ton, were all from here. Mrs.
Smith claims to be the wife of
Archibald Smith, the so-called
Honest Man trading on Key
street."
And when the editor had read
the report a whirling mass claim
ing to be the reporter was pro-
jected through the window and
struck the street with a dull thud

only helping a schoolboy
His task to learn;
Only showing a stranger
The way to turn"
"Only reading a chapter
To someone blind;
Only leaving a sparkle
Of light behind"
The fine word service" is broad
in its meaning. 1t gives to the
small opportunity the value of the
great opportunity. Few of us are
able to do all that we would in the
way of helpfulness, and there is
nothing left to us but to do what
we can. Doing this faithfully will
entitle us to the "well done" of
the Master quite as much as if we
had done things that had caused
our names to be written large on
the scroll of fame.

Only a bright good-morning,
To those we meet;
Only a lame one assisted
Across the street."


One can hardly call to mind a
smaller thing than a simple "Good-
morning" as something of oppor-
tunity in the way of kindness and
friendliness, but it may be as a
ray of cheer to some discouraged
and respondent one. / once heard
it said of one of the kindest and
most sympathetic women l ever
knew that the way in which she
said How do you do" or Good
morning" had something in it that
frightened the whole day for
those whom she greeted. Often
there is the opportunity of service
in two or three friendly words
spoken in a way that prove their
sincerity. The other day | was on
a railroad train when lady few
seats in front of me made an in
effectual effort to raise the window
next to her. A gentleman sitting
directly behind her stepped for
ward and said:
ALLOW me raise the window for
you"
1t was a small opportunity in
the way of profered service, but
it added something to the charm of
the day.
Small opportunities of human
helpfulness, but if such opportuni-
ties were neglected, much of the
happiness of life would be lost.
So many Of us would go through
life without the privilege of doing
good at all if we sought only the
opportunity of doing something
big. There is the spirit of oppor-
tunity in the direction of the small
thing in the popular song:
Brighten the Corner Where
You Are"
Some people who talk much of
their eagerness to carry light and
good cheer into the darkened
places of the world, never cast a
single little ray of brightness into
the corners in which they are.
Their eyes are closed to the small
opportunities that come in some
form every day to every human
being. One may look with some
suspicion on the woman who gives
expression to. the loftiest desire
for service, but who allows her
mother to do for her many things
that the girl should do for herself.
and who seldom does anything to
help her mother.
