for him, and If he ts going into some other line of Works, the studies which will come into play in that work are necessary.
 The indirect fitting however, is just as important as the direct. By indirect fitting. mean, instruction not partlcu-
 larly adapted to any one line of work
 but helpful in all lines. One of the first
 things for s boy or girl to learn Is how
 to work. To work requires concentra-
 tion of mind on one subject at a time.
 and concentration requires self control.
 The pupil, too. has to learn to look
 at the people and things in the world in their true relations. He must realize | that he is small and the world big; that
 the world does not owe him a living.
 but that it is his business to earn one, |
 and that he can do it by steady and !
 well applied effort. He must cultivate | | good common sense, and be made to feel |
 responsibility. He must learn that he i
 has rights, no doubt. but it is more im- |
 portant for him to learn that he has du- !,
 ties. If everyone did his duty, no ones
 rights would be infringed. The root of | the whole matter Is unselhshnesS. The [
 unselfish boy or girl or man CT woman will not only respect the rights of others
 and try to promote their interests, but
 he will provide for himself that he may
 never be burden to others.
 Common sense, responsibility and un-
 selfshness are the qualities that make
 good citizens. Think of the horrors of
 the World war The German mental
 attitude, while it was fine in subordinat< | ing personal interests to those of the
 Fatherland, was absolutely selfish as be-
 tween the Fatherland and other nations.
 Between nations, the idea was that
 might makes right. And the attempt
 to enforce that idea has brought Ger
 many into it's present deplorable condi-
 ton, and has turned upside down and
 demoralized all the rest of the world.
 The German government would go any
 length to conquer, even to send anar-
 chists and bolsheviks into hostile coun-
 tries, to s1Ibvert in them not only gov
 ernment but human society. So they overthrow the Russian empire, and by
 their means has been established in
 Russia the bolshevik tyranny, which is
 based upon robbery and murder and is
 the highwater mark of selishness, and } systematic disregard by the small gov erning class of the righte of the great majority Of the people.
 Nothing is more opposed to the demo- l cratic idea, the essence of which is re- spect for the rights of others, the giving to others of an equal chance of inprov- ing and bettering themselves.
 It is not an essential of democracy | eiAelb lAiClA SlhOAfu DC 64uds NdLuTt Has made them unequal in mind and body, and therefore there will always be in elualIties in attainment, but the Ameri- , can and democratic idea is to give all as far as practicable, an equal chance to improve themselves, and to give them, t while so attaining, full protection in g their lives, liberty and property. May We all, both young and old, ever be e sensible, responsible and unselfish. and
