Always Two Sides,

When you have read of the
crime and quarrels and irregu-
larities of life until you are de-
pressed and doubtful about the
old world, remember that these
things are displayed because
they are news and because they
are unusual. They are the ex-
ceptional things and for that
reason they were printed with a
big, black head over them. And
for the same reason you read
And If it is an article about
some man or woman going
wrong, rest assured that the
vast majority of people who
read that article do not approve
of it. There are always two
sides to the things you see and
hear and read about. You can't
judge properly the movement of
a whole army by watching a few
stragglers. So you can't tell
the trend of the human race by
rumors you hear flying about the
streets or ugly things you read
in the papers. People generally
find what they are looking for,
and if they only look on the sur
face, or only listen to rumors
they are not apt to learn the
right side.
