Cooperation Is
Principal Factor in
School Work

recently came across a set Of very
interesting articles in the 'Indepen-
dent" The editors of the magazine
had asked their readers ito blow
their own trumpets," and hundreds Of
people responded from all walks of
life. Three Of the most pointed and
valuable answers came from a farm
err, a farmers wife and teacher.
The editor has pointed out that the
pride in the work noticeable In all the
articles is u justiAable pride. He
quotes as follows:
ut is all right to be modest about
how well one is doing ones job, but
II is fatal to be modest about the job
itself. It is most inspiring to find
that so many OF our readers have
found the work in which they can
take pride. If you are doing the work
made you to do, you should feel that
your job is not cog in the machin-
cry but the very handspring of
american Lie.
The essence OF the answer from the
teacher was as follows:
81 am the heart of the worlds work.
Without me the nation would sink
into ruin and decay.
Through me lies the only way to
peace and harmony for the world. We
cannot lcgislate the nations into right
relations to one another. but we can
educate them into a realization that
II is each for all and all for each
that will bring what the whole world
longs for.

education must come. and that is the
reason that my work is the most i'm
