SUCCESS
BY DR.. Frank Crane

q UCCESS, as we commonly use the term
either in the sense Of doing valuable
work or Of attaining prominence and
riches, has little or nothing to do with char
acter.
No more deeply immoral teaching can be
given youth than to instruct them that if
they are good they shall become wealthy,
noted or efficient
Whether such person shall win any of
this worlds prizes is a wholly different mat
ter.
This world is combination of stupid pref
udices, ignorant enthusiasms and vicious
customs together with a vast deal of sub
merged human goodness, justice and love
When We organize and get society ar
ranged upon a basis of equal privilege and
opportunity for every baby born into it, then
perhaps, in the general esteem worth will
make the man and want of it the fellow"
The only sound doctrine to teach is that
the youth is to go in for only one thing, the
perfect development of his own personality.
Morally he is to be shown that sensuaIism
and all forms of selfshness do not develop;
they deform and dwarf him. They may not
keep him from being great artist, poll
tician or nabob; but they surely prevent him
from ever being a great man.
If you tell him that he cannot become a
millionaire or famous violinist except he be
virtuous, he will find out after while that
you have lied. He will discover many an
alleged great man., in history and in his
own times, who is a peryert, cad or a
grounding. Then he will be tempted to
throw overheard you and all your mOralizing.
The basic principle of true education is
to teach what is worth while, to teach
youth to be good for the Joy and freedom of
it, not because of fear or authority or re-
ward, and to do good work for the love of it,
not for praise or pay, and to be a man,
strong clean, fearless and gentle, and to
look upon money, fame and all such stuff as
matters of Indifference.
We must learn to reverence the individual
before we can ever form a government that
shall give the individual a square deal.

-,EW things are more important to the
r. growers of cotton than reliable infor-
nation as to the growing crop and the
gathered crop before it is marketed For
obvious reasons reports on the condition of
the growing crop must always be unsats-
factory since these are based on personal
opinions of men whose ability to judge
whose psychology and disinterestedness must
be taken on faith. The best that can be
done in this field is to gather multitude
of estimates and strike an average; yet on
this variable foundation cotton prices in the
exchanges swing up and down at a cost of
millions to somebody.
But when it comes to actual cotton in
sight, absolutely correct figures are possible
under a simple plan. The licensed gin, with
problem. This is the plan pursued in Ala
bama and elsewhere and one that Georgia
might well adopt For 1t is immensely i'm
portant to the farmer and to the country at
large that they be in position to know the
amount of cotton in sight at all times.
Cotton in sight so often reported durn g
the season is cotton in warehouse compress
and in transit. 1t does not necessarily in
clude cotton stored on the farm. Nor is
there any guarantee against twice counted
cotton. It Is upon these reports however,
and on guesses, that the cotton price is
fixed in New York and New Orleans.
A law requiring a license to run gin,
the fee nominal, and weekly reports from
each gin owner to a designated state officer
would supply exact information as to cot
ton brought in sight, and assist greatly in
defeating the manipulations of dishonest
spectators.
Another argument in favor Of the licensed
gin is that it furnishes additional protection
against cotton thieves Stealing seed cotton
from the field and the cotton house is COM
mon in many sections. The gin records make
such practices dangerous.
