OUR BEST,


IF every man would do his best,
whate'er his task may be, existence
would be trebly blessed, this world a
sight to see. Most all the troubles
that we know would quickly fade
away. and if you wished slice of woe
you'd have to hunt all day. No buns
would fill the prison cells or in the
alleys rest, for all men would be wear
ing bell if each one did his best. The
toiler would not cuss the plute, nor
would the plute respond, but for each
other they would root, with friendship
as a bend. The thieves would quit their
vain careers which get them in the
hole. and put in their repentant years
restoring what they stole. And all the
sinful tricks of trade would travel
galley west-there'd be no tar in mar
malade, if each man did his best This
life would be a grand sweet song, q
ioyride in a car; our duds would last
us twice rs long, our grub go twice as
far; there'd be no business for the
COPS. the sleuths would be undone ::
the poorest man could buy his hops
and raisins by the ton. We do not
toll with proper Zcst to earn our week
ly pay; we do not strive to do our
best, but watch the clock all day;
we're all afraid we'll do too much, as
we our hammers swing, and SO We've
got the world in Dutch, and balled
up everything.

the unskilled men are the first ones to be dis
charged, while the skilled employees are kept un-
til the last.
Those who know how to do things automatic
ally remove the necessity of expensive super
vision and hence are more valuable to the
industry, which, in turn, means continuity. of
employment for them. A skilled mechanic knows
the fundamentals Of operations-gained by study
and training-and for that reason he is sought
by employers.
The boy who is taking a vocational course at
the high school is receiving training in funda-
mentals. Here he has an opportunity to study
principles and subjects which cannot be taught
in the shop. The opportunity is one which
thousands of apprentices would have welcomed
10 years ago. Today it can be had for the ask
ing. The pupil who fails to take advantage Of it
is placing an obstacle in the way of his own
advancement.
Men of average ability can be had at any
time. The exceptional mamie who studies and
trains himself-is always in demand.

Simple Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces OF plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug store (this is all
you will nead), apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and sentirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly, and
your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy. silky and soft, and look and
feel a hundred times better.-Adver.

Animating School Studies

The New York Principals association recon-
mends number of changes in school books and
methods of instruction to put life into
studies and awaken greatest interest among pu-
pills, without destroying the real purpose of
education.
For instance; the principals suggest that the
fundamental causes of historical changes the
personality of great leaders, and the general re-
suits of great movements be emphasized instead
of taking up time with names and dates, changes
in dynastes, and other facts, which do not inter-
pret the real meaning of history. They believe
that ancient history should be condensed, and
only its broad outlines studied for the purpose of
showing it's effect on subsequent civilization.
II Others even advocate a curtailment of the
time devoted to the study of our early history
for the sake of gaining opportunity to study
modern conditions and contemporary develop
ments. They believe that too much time is de-
voted to details, which do no the pupil later
in life, whereas if more attention were given to
the history of the last half century, the pupil
would have an understanding of present develop
ments and movements
But even the most ardent advocate of the
suggested change admits that knowledge of our
early history is necessary for an understanding
of our institutions; and none of them would want
this to suffer in an effort to learn modern deve-
opnents and changes.

Training in the Home

Home training is the most important factor
in the development of child. If parents are
reniss in the training Of their children, or if
they underestimate the influence of proper home
conditions, they may expect to see their children
reveal the lack Of good qualities.
Many parents do not assume this full respon-
sibility with earnestness and sincerity Of pur-
pose They believe that the boys and girls will
mature into upright and industrious young men
and women, irrespective of the influence which
the home has exerted. Many kinds of juvenile
delinquency would be prevented if the fathers
and mothers were companions of their children.
shared their interests, and encouraged them in
their pursuits.
The work of the secular schools and the Sun
day schools is handicapped by the lack of par
entail interest and concern. This cannot be
traced to an intentional purpose on the part of
fathers and mothers to neglect their children,
but is attributable to failure of parents to real
ize it's Importance. It would be most uncharit-
able accusation to say that parents wilfully
sighted their children in this respect. Lack of
interest and knowledge usually are the causes of
parental neglect.

The Value of Skill

The high school boy who abandons his educa-
ton before he has received his diploma often
handicaps himself without knowing that he is
doing it. When employers are forced to hire
unskilled men, it's costs them much money to pay
supervisors to instruct the inexperienced men
and to watch their production. In slack times,
