DON'T BE O YOUR JOB

Don't be a job snob. There is no worse pest or more un-
popular worker than the person who is "above their job
The contempt and sneers of their fellow workers are their
lot and rightly so. The girl who thinks she is too good to be
doing what she ought to be doing you may be sure isn't
doing it. Nc worker can be ION her job if she is above it.
Remember the person who is big enough to be a somebody Is
willing to be a nobody. Personal pride is a good thing but
false pride is dangerous.
There is only one way in which every true worker should
be ''above her job" and that is in ambition. Because she is
ambitious she should be working out methods that are better
than the ones she is using at present. Her reading should be
along the line that will advance and promote her to a better
position. Her ideals should be high, ever reaching to big and
better work.
Westinghouse as a poor mechanic was not above his job
III pride, but because he was above his job in ambition his
name is famous as the inventor of the airbrake. Edison while
working as a telegraph operator was not above his job in
pride, but because he was above his job in ambition and had
dreams of electric lights and high powered dynamos, he is
today the greatest scientist of the age.
Always be above your job in ambition, but never be above
your job in pride. The contrast in these maxims constitutes
success.

welcomed the members and guests
and gave q brief resume of the or
ganization of the club four years 6

ton into the Township Club. The

best wishes, however.

Pets. especially. offer a fne
medium for the teaching of respon-
sibility. 1t is hard sometimes for
the mother to let a plant or puppy
or kitten suffer for lack of attention.
But it can be done in such a way as
to point a moral to the careless child
who forgets it. Very few children
will need a second lesson. Bicycles,
kfddie cars, and all such contriv-
ances should be the care of the chill
dren and not the parents, who rather
than see them stand out, will 60 and
drag them in. But this merely
teaches the child that he can depend
on his parents and not himself; a
bad policy.
If the child is given his own
pocket money and buys his W
things he will have a greater feel
ing Of responsibility and also a
greater joy in them. We must all
learn early to stand on our own feet.

YOUR BABY AND MINE,
RESPONSIBILITY
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

In the training of children II is of
the greatest Importance to teach a
child responsibility. From the time
the child is q tiny infant and begins
by promptly dropping the toys 1t has
in his hand one can teach him some
thing by refusing to pick them up.
Because the toy happens to be a
rubber ball, or a celluloid rattle and
~unbreakable means nothing to the
child. If he is allowed to drop and
throw things at will, later everything
fragile and breakable will be in
danger through him. Refuse to pick
up the top, repeatedly, and he will
soon learn to hold on to 1t, If he
wants to have it.
Later he should be taught the re-
s~ponsibility of putting away his toys.
One young woman who as a child
vas q marvel of neatness with her
playthings, being made to pick
things up and put them in their
places when through playing with
them, has developed into a most ex-
emplary housekeeper, with a per-
feet mania for having things ar
ranged. She was not a naturally
neat child, but she was taught that
she could not have what was not
worth caring for.

Her voice is delightful and the true
bird like notes were clear and truly
beautiful. Mrs. A. Il. Randolph ac-
companied Mrs. Rostkowski in a
most pleasing manner.
Mrs. Martin then introduced the

Murkerjt was educated in India and
also graduated from the LelanE

The spiritual side of his native land
was described through the training
or the children by their mothers, his
tribute to his oWn mother being ex-
eeedingly beautiful. He brought a
new side of Hindu life to his audi
ence which he urged them to receive.
lie said Americans had the wrong
IDEA OF his country and that his peo-
pie were receiving q wrong impress
sion of America through the moving
PICTURES. He also contrasted old
India with the new, even the roads
built for the elephants being widened
for the automobiles.

BROADCASTS
By LORA KELLY
The Hand that Rocks the Typewriter

Do men marry "bluestockings 2"
This question is raised by an Eng
lish journal, which goes into the
origin Of the odd term applied to
intellectual women in J. Bulls realm
because Of their supposed indiffer-
ence to dress.
After citing several well-known
| feminine names in Mid-Victorian lit
erature, the writer takes up the mat
| ter of the educated woman's objec-
| tions to modern marriage.
IF we are to judge fairly" says
the writer, "the fact is that the
young man of the period is to blame.
He does not know how to choose a
wife or how to treat her properly
when he gets her.
at is to be feared there is truth in
the idea that he breads an intellect
ual superiority more than anything
else. He desires tame s~ubservience
in a partner.
There is more scope for the affec-
t~ionate, unintellectual woman in
marriage than the self-confident,
brainy one"
Those are harsh words for your
own sex, brother! We wouldn't come
right out in the public prints and
talk so plainly and 50 rashly, no
matter how much we believed such
things.
The article isn't signed, and for
several paragraphs we thought that
1t was a woman's handlwork. But
the author gave himself away In the
last paragraph. He couldn't resist
handing out that eternal, everlasting
masculine piece of advice:
"She should avoid cosmetics and
dress daintily and with charm"
