Great Gain Is Made by this State
Which is Now Credited With .O,5

With 1l3,419 pupils to 20 years
OF age regularly enrolled, Montana
ranks fifth in the nation for school
attendance. The 1920 census shows
ls0,s55 children of these ages, so
the attendance OF 114,419 gives this
state percentage Of 70.5. Only six
OF the states have 20 per cent or
better. Utah is first with 70 per
cent, Idaho is second with IT'S, Iowa
IS third with 7l.2, Nebraska is fourth
with 70.6, then comes Montana with
70.5 and Oregon's 101.
In 1910 Montana had 6l,46S pu-
pills out OF possible 10O,972 of the
to 20 year class in school. The
percentage then was sos and Mon
tana was so far from the top of the
list that 1t did not get even honorable
mention.
Girls made better records than the
boys in school attendance for both
1910 and 1920. But it was closer in
1920. Then there were $3.50 boys
and 56,7S9 girls of the 1l3,419 in
school. The boys percentage was

Parents who have not registered

federal official in charge of this
work. There are many things like
ly to become dependent upon ones
birth registration which might be-
come suddenly of vital Importance to
a grown up boy or girl. For instance,
it might become necessary to prove
ones age or ones rights to inherit
ance of name and property. To en-
JOY full privileges and citizenship it
might be imperative also to show
birth registration, and frequently the
purposes of military service and vot-
ing are served by proper registration.
The average parent does not
think of these exigencies which might
affect the future of their children,
and if he has neglected to register
their births, father should do so
at once in performance of his full
duty to his children"
No penalty is affixed for failure
on the part of parent to see that a
child's birth is registered, whereas
fulfillment of the moral obligation
costs Is cents. modest sum in view
of consequences that might result
from neglect in the matter. Persons
who have not made the birth regis

doing so at once. Next week a repre-
sentative of the bureau now in Hell

methods will be employed, such as
visiting churches and hospitals and
even having mail carriers canvass

Luscious boxes Of candy. glasses Of
homemade jelly, warm clothing. In
teresting books. new magazines, and,
best and most welcome Of all, cheer
ing letters, are among the things
which the members Of the Federated
Women's club, and the Daughters Of
the American Revolution are plan
ming on sending the ex-service men in
the tuberculosis section Of the U. s.
public health hospital at Fort Harri-
son during the winter months.
OF the hundred and fifty men at
the hospital, one-third are tubercu-
losis patients. and, at the suggestion
of Mrs. Sara e. Morse, secretary of
the Montana tuberculosis Associa-
tion, each club and each chapter Of
the D. A. r. has adopted from two to
five of the boys and will send them,
from time to time, many things which
will help to make less tedious the
long days Of recovery.
1t was the realization that the four
essentials for the recovery Of these
boys are fresh air, rest. proper food
and treatment. and contentment, and
while the first three are supplied at
the hospital, the fourth - contented
attitude of minds up to the boys
themselves, and that It is here that
the citizens Of the state can be Of
vital assistance. that prompted Mrs.
Morse to appeal to the women's or
ganizations.
With the same spirit that made
them help the boys during the war
with Red Cross work, etc., the women
again showed their eagerness to help
the boys for whom the fighting IL not
yet over. They want the boys to feel
that a personal interest is being
taken in them and that they have
every chance In the world Of winning
their fight for health.
The Montana tuberculosis Associa-
ton, which is behind this movement
for the benefit of these ex-service
men. is being financed by the sale
of Christmas seals. The sale this
year will begin on November "a
Thanksgiving day.

Making Good in Business
DEVELOPING FORCES THAT WIN.
BY ROGER W. BABSON.

stature than their subordinates For
| example. the college presidents as a
class are taller and heavier than the
college professors. Bank presidents
are physically stronger than the
clerks. Railway presidents are larg-
! er and physically stronger than the
employees. The strain of modern busi-
| ness demands as one of the preliminary
requirements a strong physical being.
There is no particular secret about
securing physical strength. 1t does not
necessarily require wealth, but it does
sef-control. The best way to develop a
strong physical being is: Eat whole
some food: sleep in well ventilated
rooms; perform 4 proper amount of work
and exercise. Give some time to recrea-
| ton: and, above all. live a normal.
| clean. upright life. Physical welfare is
| the second qualification for winning the
race OF making good.
Idle .6 Per Cent of Time.
The great mass of US are idle IS per
cent of the time. In this Is per cent
OF unemployed time a proper amount
OF recreation is quite essential. Tech
nically one should be recreated in the
interim between the close of one days
work and the beginning of the next.
That is. the muscle fiber and the en-
ergy used up should be reconstructed
and replaced before the next days toll
begins.
In business there must be compensa-
ton for the mental fatigue. Business
men with weighty problems to solve
should have some enjoyable form of
recreation. 1t does not matter par
tIcularly what that form may be so
long as 1t is healthy. honest and pure.
1t may be golf, walking, music, art,
birds or flowers. Such forms of recrea-
tion are the safety valves and govern
ors for the business man-absolutely
essential to maintain his proper eQui-
librium. My own particular hobby is
my farm. take my exercise and men
tai relaxation in Gods way. The vast
majority of recreational activities are
non-productive. I prefer to make my
own recreational activity productive
and enjoyable at the same time. But
every one to his tastes.
l tried to play golf once myself. I
wanted to play for relaxation. 1 want
ed to play to get my mind off of my
business. But every time l sat down
for moments rest one of the play
ers would ask me if Union Pacific was
good buy or what I thought of Chile
Copper and when the next period of
prosperity would begin. I found that
the golf links, while giving me ply
sical exercise, did not give me mental
relaxation from business affairs. Yet
proper recreation SHOULD De IeCOS-
nized for its value and importance in
retaining physical strength.
Experience.
Experience comes next. Spiritual.
physical or mental development does
not end with the educational institu-
ton. When a young man leaves the
grades. high school or college ne has
just begun to develop. 1t is for that
reason that we term graduations
"commencements.".T The developmenta1
process is just as essential after a
man enters business as it is in the

their entire time to working out

who spend their time in measuring
how thick the ice should be before
1t is cut and by the time they get
their measurements correct, the ice
is melted. We have men who devote
go!f-men who talk of nothing but
golf.
BY systematic training course we
can develop our spiritual. physical or
mental being SO that we can perform
feats of strength. This fact is uni
versally known. Systematic concen-
tration and properly guided exercises
in mental development make for won
derful results. The attitude of the
majority of people toward systematic
training is not satisfactory. If we
can get the great mass of people to
understand that they have abilities
and potentialities. we can make rapid
strides in our race of making good
Religion consists not of creeds nor
churches. Physical health Is not made
up Of muscle or weight. Education is
not designed to cram US full of data
and tabulated Information.
These are all examples of improper
coordination. In order to qualify in
the race Of making good we must not
only develop our spiritual. physical
mental and industrial selves. but we
must coordinate these factors SO that
each one will function properly with
the others. When these faculties are
properly developed and properly CO.
ordinated. then we are ready to enter
the marathon, the race of making
good in business in a big way. Only
when these faculties are properly de-
veloped and properly co-ordinated are
we able to live a well balanced. nor
NAL and useful life. In the last gen.
Grafton business has recognized these
factors and has created departments
to promote them.
The recreationa! departments for
the development of the physical being
the church activities for the develop.
ment Of the spiritual and moral in
tegrity. the educational divisions in
industry for the development of ones
mental wellbeing substantiate my
points. These divisions of industry
are proof that the factors above emu
merated are essential for any young
man who hopes to make good in busi-
ness. Else they would not become a
permanent part of industry.

Home building activity during the
first seven months Of this year has
resulted in added living aecommoda-
tions for at least 500 Washington
families. according to estimates based
on figures in the Office of the District
building inspector During the same
period last year approximately 500
families had been housed.
From January to August 1 OF this
year a total Of 746 single and multi
family dwellings were gotten under
way. Last year the same period pro-
duced but $50 dwellings. OF the TAG
dwellings,. seven were of the multi
family type providing living quar-
ters for probably 100 families.
Satisfactory Results.
With District records showing an
increase Of more than 500 in the
kinds for the fret seven months of
1921 over the same period last year.
local builders are beginning to view
with satisfaction the outcome of the
the housing shortage in Washington.
1t was learned today.>
Figures show a total investment
increase during this period of more
than three quarters of a million dol
lars. Taking into consideration,
however. the fact that building ma
terials dropped substantially in price
as the spring building program was
launched, making it much cheaper
to build houses this year than last,
it is estimated that given invest
ment this year went anywhere from
25 to 80 per cent farther in producing
buildings than the same amount in
1920.
In spite of the marked increase in
number of dwellings erected SO far
this year, the actual cost to the va
rious investors has been more than
half a million dollars less than it cost
in seven months last year to build 200
of the District building inspector in
dicate.
The total estimated cost of home
building projects was S5,647.0 900 to
date, while a year ago the records
point to an investment of more than
$6.2S5,00O.
Late start Gotten.
This years home bui ilding drive did
not get fully started until April. due
to poor weather conditions and un-
favorable material priaas. During
the first three months OF the year a
total of 170 dwellings, including three
apartments. totaling in cost $4,000
were begun in April. however, q
sudden jump is noted in building
figures. with total of157 residen
tial buildings, including one 5000. 200
apartment house, provided for. Since
April home construction has beer
advancing with steady strides. May
saw 1877 homes started. June saw 15i
and three apartments. and July CLOSED
with 130 started.
A drastic difference in the amour;
of home building done during the
! same period in 1920 is shown by Dis
trict records. In April, the month

when a young man enters business.
No employer is going to ask young
man what grade he made in trigo-
nometry or Greek. but he is going to
ask What can you do?" That is the
test of the young man in business.
We are all gauged by what we are
able to accomplish.
What Can You Do.
Hence a constructive aid to making
good in business is proper industrial
development or ability to work.
The young man who always has the
interest Of his employer at heart
seldom fails. The young man who is
willing to come to work early and
to stay late has very little trouble
with his employer. The man who
takes an interest in his work eventu-
ally has an interest in his company.
The man who continually breads to
do his task is doing an injury not
only to his employer, but to himself
as well. The clock watcher who
sees how much longer he must work
before he can go home sometimes
gets to stay at home. The clock

tion, the six is of prosperity. are,
as We have already seen, largely
spiritual qualities. Therefore. in dis
cusSing last week just how man
should set about acquiring these
qualities for himself we discussed
first the ways and means of his spir-
itual development. AT the same time
We considered the type of mental
training necessary.
In this article are further construc-
tive suggestions for developing the
forces that win.
Physical Strength.
If mans spirit is right and right
Iy trained. the next most important
requisite for securing the six is Is
physical strength. The value of
physical strength is usually under
estimated. The relation between the
physical and mental being is close
one. This body of ours is the dwell
ing place of the soul and mind. Nor
mally good. strong body furnishes
the best abiding place for a strong
soul and mind Physical strength is
especially necessary in the develop
ment of industry and initiative.
American city life perhaps is not
conducive to the best physical devel-
opment. There are too much hurry
and rush. early and late hours in the
whole business. There is too little
opportunity for proper rest and rec
reation except to the wealthy L pre-

When passing through the great cit
les of our land one cannot help feel
ing depressed by the inimical inf1u-
ences of the city life on those In the
struggle of making good. The great
city is one of the prices that nations
pay for their industrial development.
Speed Causes Suicides.
Some day American ingenuity will
devise means for proper rest, eXer-
else and recreation for the great mass
of the city's inhabitants. Various in
stitutions are already supplying this
need in a limited way. Statistics

life that we are living. We some-

his conservative way of living and

pace somewhat it surely would re-
round to the benefit of our physical

which brought such boom this year.
less than hundred houses went up.
In May, 1920, the total dropped to "a.
in June to % and in July to an insig-
nificant 81.
While home builders were busy
this spring on the problem of furnish
ing adequate living accommodation
for Washington's citiZenry, other in
vestors turned their attention to busi-
ness and commercial structures. Seven
office buildings were planned and
realized, representing an aggregate
cos tof $237.000 A year ago at this
time but four office buildings had been
started, costing less than 100000.
More store buildings were erected
last year at this time than have been
this year. Seventy-two stores, cost
ing nearly billion dollars. were
started at that time, while only Sc,
costing less than half a million, have
been projected the first half of 1921
Much Remodeling Done.
Next to home building. more money
has been invested this year in re-
modelling enterprises than in any
other line o. construction activity.
The amount of money involved in
these repair and reconstruction pro-
jects totals approximately s2.60O,000,
whereas last years comparative fig
ures were s1,600.000. The majority
of these remodeling jobs consisted in
converting residences into business
buildings. principally on thorough
fares in the downtown section of the
city, formerly exclusively residential.
The blocks just north of II street
northwest and west of 14th street, in
Guiding those bordering on Connecti-
cut avenue to Florida avenue. have
undergone the most change in this
process of transformation.
Places of worship and of amuse-
ment tied in the race for the greater
number of these types of buildings.

Last year at this time the records
showed two churches. two banks.
-wo laundries and a factory. all of
a less costly nature. excepting one
church permit valued at s25O.O00.
Garages averaged approximately
100 a month this year and less than
that number last year. The majority
of these homes for automobiles were
of the metal or brick type. with
few concrete. tile and frame struc-
lures intermingled. Several hundred
! thousand dollars were spent on ga
| rage erection. both this year and last.
