Something TO

PLEASING OTHERS
By r. Il. WALKER


THE difficulty of human endeavor
L whether it be of mental or physi-
cal character, is not work in 4 gen
eral sense. but The doing OF work
in a manner which shall prove wholly
pleasing and satisfactory TO the en-
ployer.
He wishes such work rs he is pay
ing you to do. 10 be done in his par
ticniar way. So that when it Is fin
ished il viii fit in accurately with his
prcarranged plans, and produce the re
suits he has in mind.
The man or woman who writes a
book. if he or she hopes 10 make a
success of ii. must write il TO amuse,
instruct. entertain, and finally TO please
the readers.
IF the book fails in this respect, the
author fails.
All the difficulties of life are over
come by this art of pleasing.
And this art OF pleasing others
must be carried out from the highest
flight of metaphysics, down to the
loading of dray or the digging of a
post hole.
1t is not easy to make some ma
lures understand this. The art lies
as unseizable to their duh wits as the
solution of the fourth dimension.
The genius may be u very wonder
fui, fellow. and do very many re-
martable things, but if he be lacking
in ability TO make people understand.
he may ut some time or another in
his career be lacking of food and raj
ment.
But. on the other hand. the simple
plodder sincere in his effort 10 please
Others. to present the truth pleasant

USAGE of common sense, Will, through
his saneIy directed energy, climb to
strategic heights.
The more you analyZe success, the
stronger Will become the conviction
that it consists primarily in yielding
10 those in authority the right of the

The result is that the men and
women who habitlally do this, who
lis,en to reason. who keep their feet

ALL IN THE SAME BOAT

Whatever may happen to the
coal miners and the railroad
workers in their campaign against
reduced wages, it is apparent that
the farm laborer has been pretty
well debated. Under present con-
ditiOns farmers cannot afford to
pay, and will not pay for hired
help, anything approaching the
sums paid to organized labor in
the industries. This is hard for
the hired men, and in the end will
be hard for men in the cities. No
combination of labor groups will
be able TO resist the necessity of
equalizing the costs of production
between agriculture and manu-
facture. You may have cheap
bread and expensive shoes for a
year or two, but you cannot have
them forever. 1t will be cheap
bread and cheap shoes, or dear
bread and dear shoes, when the
REIMBURSEMENT is over. The logi-
cal thing and the best thing will
be to have both bread and shoes
reasonably priced and produced
under conditions that will give
farmer and business man a liv-
ing wage and a fair profit. To
paraphrase the revolutionary

POETRY ON TAP

Some critic scornful OF this ma
TONS output of poetry asserts that
America has no poetry. lie may
have in mind the sort intended for
high-brows; but unless he limits
himself TO this brand. his assertion
is without foundation.
With us American poetry IS very
much alive. Perhaps we don't read
the great masters. the ancient bards
sublime. so much as we ought to ;
and perhaps even the later songster
sings not for our ears. That may
be true. But the point is that we
do read what we like. We read a
lot of it. And more than this, we
write lot of it,
Pegasus is with us not the thor
Oughbred and very rare steed that
he was in days ago. Almost any of
us can ride him today. 1t is occa-
sionally pretty rough going, to be
sure our flights of fancy are not
very high, nor our Searchings into
the human soul very deep. But
we deliver the goods i'll metrical
form; and it pleases the readers of
today. Which is what poetry
should do. among other things.
Our democratic poetry is simple
in its devices and themes. There is
no scrutinizing of the inscrutable.
no romantic yearning after the un-
attainable. We do not write about
the PARKWAY and long ago. Does
the transmission on his flivver give
him trouble? Our poet uses the
theme of defective transmission to
write a four-stanza poem. His
home town baseball team loses a
game when its premier batsman
strikes out. The result is literary
work of art in inambic hcptameters
suitable for all occasions.
At home of an evening father
can't find his evening paper; this
little incident inspires our poet to a
lyrical effusion of homely charm
and innocence. Everybody who
has ever seen father look for his
paper is moved to appreciation OF
this elegiac quatrain. Skyscrapers
and traffic officers; umbrellas and
motorcycles school girls and school
marms; old Sweethearts and new
ones-nothing RS too remote or
too simple to inspire our poet.
He is interested i'll nothing in
which everybody isn't interested.
And he makes everything interest
ing to everybody. All readers,
from the oldest to the Youngest,
understand and appreciate it fully
There are no hidden meanings. no
literary illusions. 1t is poetry for
everybody.
The critic who says we have no
poetry in America doesn't know

DEMONSTRATION CLASSES IN
SESSION FOR NEW
CASTLE COUNTY TEACHERS
Nescark Schools to Hold Regular Sessions on
December 9th to Give Rural Teachers
Opportunity to Study Nezv Methods

At the request of Miss Ina G.
Barnes and Miss Ruby Miller, Rural
Supervisors of New Castle County,
the demonstration classes of the New
ark Schools will hold regular sessions
on Saturday morning, December 9.
This is the second time the local
school has contributed to the interests
of Education in the State in this way.
Last year the school was opened on
Saturday to give opportunity to the
teachers of New Castle County to
see and study the methods used in
the demonstration classes. The teach
ers felt that last year the morning
was so profitable that they requested
Miss Barnes and Miss Miller to make
similar arrangements this year.
Superintendent ]. Herbert Owens,
Miss Agnes Snyder, Director of Stu
dent Teaching; the teachers of the
demonstration classes, and the chill
dren are working together to make
the morning of value to the visitors.
The program will be arranged in
two sessions: go to $50 and 10 to
1880. This will give each teacher OPP
portunity to see work in two class
rooms. An interesting feature will
be the supervised play from 10 to
10.15, conducted as it has been con-
Quoted daily this fall. All the chill
dren of the primary grades assemble
on the primary school grounds while
the children of the grammar grades
assemble on their grounds. They then
work for few minutes in formal cor
rective gymnastics after which they
divide into groups for games. This
work is under the direction of Miss
Marion Parkhurst, Physical Director
of the Women's College, assisted by
student teachers. After the demon
stration lessons the teachers gather
in the classrooms in which they have
observed for discussion of the work
they have seen.
The demonstration program is as
follows:
