SEES LACK OF IMAGINATION
cleveland Writer Thinks BIunders Of
School Children Are Less
Funny Than They Were.

1T doesn't seem to me-" says the
Cleveland observer, "tbat the blunders
school children make nowadays are as
funny as they used to be. And this,
as the sociologist Will tell you, argues
that the school children haven't the
imagination they used to have. 1t
takes Imagination to produce enter
tanning blunders of this sort, as any
school teacher will tell you"
Here are two related by a Cleveland
teacher. To the question, "What do

Something to
Think Ab0ut
OUR WASTEFUL HABITS
B. F. II. WALKER

TT IS frequently remarked by close
i observing Englishmen who visit
America. that our people are
shamefully wasteful, and ding away
money without any apparent thought
Of the proverbial rainy day.
Whether these alien commenters
have penetrated deeply into the sub
ject Is not definitely known, but judg-
Ing from their oft-rspeated averments,
assuming at times q form Of caustic
criticism, there is doubtless more
truth in the matter than We suspect.
1t Is not without pang Of regret
ruffiing Of our pride, psrhapS-that
we Americans, who are disposed to
analyze conditions with unbiased
minds. reluctantly admit that our Eng
lish cousins are right.
We recognise that We have many
spendthrifts, constantly setting q bad
example to the young. that they are
extravagant and decidedly foolish.
Money Is poured out like water, as
though, like Topsy, 1T Just growed."
There 10 consolation, however, In
the thought that these prohigates
come mostly from the ranks Of the
newly rich and thoughtlsss inheritors.
They have no idea Of the stern
realities Of life, nor the long dragging
years Of fncessant labor and self-de-
ntal that are necessary for q working
or professional man to accumulate
EVEN a moderate competency for old
age.
These people congregats where the
music flows, where the tables are
henped with daintiss. They smile and
backbite, puff themselves up like frogs
and spend recklessly. They fall natur-
ally into a state which is common to
their kind.
IL we could follow them through
their improvident course to the end,
we would find them in pitiable plights.
rerentant and likely Al not homeless
The necessity Of conserving time
and money ought now be impressed
upon all Of us with considerable more
stress than It has been in the recent
past, and particularly upon the In
considerate young men and women.
Let high thinking. hard work and
thriftiness form the important part Of
our spiritual bill Of fare, 80 that in
the end we may be robust Of BODY
and soul, sound Of purse, unafraid of
landlords and in position In old age
to accept all the vagaries Of life with
supreme confidence and complacency
