HOW TO CHOOSE AND GET A BET
TER JOB. BY Edward Jones Kilduff
Harper g. Brothers.

TER JOB. BY Edward Jones Kilduff.
Harper g. Brothers.
CoME ten years ago a youth en-
=, ployed as Wall Street ste
nographer was discharged. He
obtained another job and was again
ruthlessly separated from the payroll.
Yet, at 20, he found himself first vice.
president of big banking corpora
ton at $4,000 year.
IT'S a distressing thing to be fired
But often there is more hope for q
man who Is discharged than for one
who dislikes his work and has neither
tie knowledge nor the courage to get
a place more suited to his abilities.
The man who loses his job will find
another-and the new situation may
be ideal. The man who has a job for
which he Is untitled too frequently
hangs on because he doesn't know
what else to do.
Edward Jones Kilduff of the New
York School OF Commerce writes
straight at every man and woman who
is not adapted to his or her job-or
who hasn't yet entered the lists for
place on a payroll-in his book on
How to Choose and Get Better job"
Unlike many OF this onward and up
ward type of printed advice to un-
happy members OF the human race.
this book is not given over TO col
lection of mushy platitudes and use
less information. It contains sound.
practical, workable methods for going
about the business Of selling ones ovn
services. and is replete with concrete
suggestions for job seekers-ranging
from the uses of newspaper classified
columns to lists OF helpful books on
important business subjects. In clear.
lucid language he takes the job hunter
over TO the employers side of the
desk and demonstrates what the en-
ployer desires.

NAL meetings, and met them indiyid-
ually In consultation. This companion
snip with young men and women who
were interested in writing meant a
great deal to Mr.. Frost, who likes to
talk about the friendships which re-
suited. When he was asked what he
did for these ambitious young writer's
he answered: Il gave them my frank
advice. | would sit down with a boy
and discuss his piece of work from
the vantage point of my experience. "
He never urged them to write, to make
literature their life work II told them
that the urge had to be in them-that
could not put 1t in them" Perhaps
he disillusioned a good many, for he
told them frankly what a lonely job
writer.
According to the terms of the fellow
ship Mr.. Frost is to have no academic
duties at Michigan, but it is very prob
able that a club of young writer's will
grow up about him. In a recent letter
he mentions his special interest In the
problem of teaching English, and out
lines the prospects of what he calls
the studio method: THE experienced
older painter allows inexperienced
younger painters to set up their easels
alongside of his for what they can
get out of his example, stimulation and
shop talk. So the experienced writer
might receive inexperienced but prom
ising, or at any rate ambitious, writer's
into companionship. He might at in
tervals, that is. and their gain be no
loss to him" And 1t is in order to add
these other words of the poet:
1--WE are sure to be great In the
world for power and wealth. But some
one who has time will have to take
thought that we shall be remembered
5000 years from now for more than
success in war and trade. Some one
will have to feel that It would be the
ultimate shame IL we were TO pass
like Carthage (great in war and trade)
and leave no trace in the spirit"

ERNEST KEENAN,. by Lewis freeman
Mott. d. Appleton g. Co.
NF all the great sceptics Ernest
Renan is the only one whom l
would qualify as Charming"
He was a charming sceptic, as Pascal
was a tragic sceptic, Montaigne gay
sceptic and voltaire militant sceptic.
Charming sceptics are rare. There are
only two now living that 1 can recall
offhand-Anatole France and Have
lock Ellis
1t was this charm. this spell of his
smiling style, the exquisite ease with
which he drifted from dogma to heresy
and back again. the laughing dimple
in his tremendous paradoxes and the
mellow note in his 'blasphemic" aphor-
isms-it was these things that brought
down on his head the tempest when he
published his epoch making Life Of
Jesus"
His enemies ragged not so much be-
cause he denied, but because he denied
in sweetness and light. He smiled and
smiled and was not at all a villain!
There was a magic in his destruction!
His critical faculty had the sparkle of
Prospero's wand. Anything might be
forgiven an unbeliever but those
things.
AS Mr.. Mott points out in his book,
Remains nature was antithetical to sys-
tenn of any kind. Each mood was valid
and he gave vent to 1t, let the aphor-
isms fall where they may. He was an
apostate-but never to himself, the
one thing needful. do I contradict
myself? Very well, then, 1 contradict

Walt Whitman uttered 1t actually

not logical system, but an expert

vent to his unstable moods is one Sc
cret of the charm. the vWacity and
actuality of his writings" Remains
maxim was, Woe to him who does
not contradict himself at least once
a day!"
Renan was thus throughout his life
spectator of himself He was in his
profoundest and most stable part of
his psychic nature merely the record
ing secretary of the things received
through him" from an Elsewhere of
which he had no knowledge. There
were no conflicts In his life. 1t was an
orderly development of his subcon-
scious nature into his conscious ma
ture.
The profound scholarship which he
displayed in the Life of Jesus" "The
Origins of Christianity" and "The His

who have been tireless in their ef-
forts to interest universities all over
the country. In an article in a recent
Forum Percy Mackaye writes enthu-
siastically and convincingly of the

great possibilities. He reminds one of

that creative art is that something
which will save our democracy. So
Percy Mackaye is urging that the uni
versities become instrumental in Great

is that they should give fellowships

drama, music-to creative artists of

Even though the artist is to hold no

FACTS ABOUT CONSERVATION

Some years ago great many peo- pie, especially in Alaska, considered conservation as a hindrance to enter prise and a menace to liberty. Jn fact they believed that conservation was conceived and put into operation for the sofe purpose of depriving them of their inherent and inalienable right to despoil thee country of its resourc- es regardless of thee rights of others. Some few still so believe, but forum ately not many. Now most of the people, in fact all the intelligent peo- pie, know through publicity and edu- cation that conservation is only anoth- CT name for the just administration of the resources owned by the people, administered by the servants of the people, for the benefit of the greatess number of people. The particular re- sources which have in mind in writ in~ this article is the public owned
 timhnr. Not only the timber in our National Forests but that which
 grows on the Public Domain. In our every day home and office life we
The Seward gateway., 1921-04-30

are constantly using articles too num- erous to mention that are the products of this resource.
 In fact the articles are so numer- ous and commonplace that we are in- clined to get the impression that the supply is inexhaustable. However, this is not the case. Every year fires destroy thousands of acre of timber. A few government employees cannot prevent this destruction without as- sistance and cooperation of the pub lie. That is the object of this article.
 To ask every one, going into the woods this summer for the purpose of camping, hunting, picnichng, pros pecting or for any other purpose, to be careful with their camp fires. Build them on gravel or mineral soil. Never against old, rotten logs, be- cause log will retain fire for hours and sometimes for days after the camp fire is out. Throw water over your fires before leaving and be sure that they are thoroughly out. Do not throw lighted cigar or cigarette stubs into the grass or moss. Blow your match out before throwing it away. If these few suggestions are carried out by every one I am shre that we will have very i.ttle fife trouble this sum- mer. I wlli grcs:iy appreciate it if any one, discovering a fire, will please notify me O. one of the guards.
