If you do not make use of the val
liable time which is fitting past,
you are going to look back some
day and regret it, The serious
thing is that most people do not
awake up until they are at the
threshold of middle life. 1t is then
100 late The best years of life are
spent Today there is scarcity Of
really good books in the majority OF
homes. The youth of the present
with inferior minds rather than the
great intellects OF all time Easy
paths lead downward. 1t is always
harder to push against the current,
but in the end it pays. Use well the
golden hours of youth Profit by
your own experience and that Of
others You will then have no cause
Of regret for the past but may look
ahead to a bright and happy future.

Our land is full OF noise and up
roar The traffic in the large cities
is nearly deafening. Yet the great
est power of the city's life is not
found among these tumultuous
sounds. The brain and heart of the
city, the energies and influences that
dominate it are in the offices where
plans are made and in the homes
where character is shaped Because
business man has his name dis
played on glittering sign does not
necessarily mean that he has made
a success merely by his own ability
1t may be that he owes his success
to some trusted employee whose
name never appears on the signs or
in the advertisements. What W.

fectiveness to what we are. The
world may destroy our reputation
but our character is our own tC
build or mar. Many a person going
quietly about his days work, doing
his best, with no thought of reward
or applause sways more people than
any silver-tongued reformer. The
man who longs to serve his race
need not lack for opportunity
though he live in the most obscure
corner. Love and character are
mighty powers within the reach OF
all.-R. D.
Physical education as we'll as
mental education has come to be
thought of as a prime necessity by
the majority Of our serious thinking
citizens. a well developed physical
body always improves ones appear
ance and attracts attention from the
public eye. Almost every boy has
his ideal of physical development
and wishes that he could measure
up to it. Everyone wishes to be
strong, robust and healthy. 1t is
maintained that practically all the
grouches in life are physical wreck:
or unfit physically. We surely dom
want to be grouches and it has beer
proven from observation that the
strong physical man looks upon lif'
with more joy and eagerness thar
his weaker fellow-man. Therefore
it would be for our own happines!
