children are left hopelessly with
out guidance as to which course
to take.
A committee recently investi-
gated one our largest and most
progressive high schools. This
high school boasted that It had
a vocational counsellor who helped
the children find themselves. Yet
this Is the report
"In practically every case the
committee found boys in the
wrong courses, pursuing studies
in which they were not inter-
ested, and for which they were
not prepared by aptitude or pre-
vious training. Close question
ing OF each boy revealed that
he had no opportunity for dis
cussion Of his vocational plan
with any member of the faculty,
and most of them showed almost
q pitiful appreciation Of such
counseIing as the committee could
do.
THE continuance Of the present
lack of counseling constitutes a
heavier expense upon the tax
payers than additional teachers
freed for part time counseling
would, because of the misfits,
failures and repeaters under our
present deplorable situation is not
at all due to any lack Of effort
on her part"
There's the answer to Pas and
Mas questionable question which

SAYINGS OF
MRS. SOLOMON.


MY daughter, hear now the
M parable OF the Happy
Man.
For 10, all men have sought the
Kingdom OF Happiness, but few
have found the way.
Now, in his youth, e-nan-who
would happy dreamed of Fame,
and beheld himself crowned with
garlands. and heard in his ears
the plaudits of the multitude.
And, he put aside many fair
desires and turned his back upon
pleasure and all. his days were
spent in labor and in striving.
And it came to- pass, in time, that
his wish was granted him.
But when he sat among the
Mighty he heard no plaudits but
only the whisper OF envy and the
sneefs Of the backbiters. And
his heart was exceedingly sad.
For he perceived that a great
man is only a beam in the eye
and target for the tongue Of
Islander.
Then the Man said, ALAS, it is
not fame but LOVE which bring
eth happiness! Lead me to it!
And he found damsel who
pleased his eye and delighted his
heart, and set out to win her with
burnt offerings and promises and
applesauce.
But when he had wed her and
set her up In his house, she en-
h c a
and ruled over him with whins
tyranny. And he was sore OF
heart and more lonely than be-
fore.
Thereupon, the Man set him
self 60 acquire riches. For" he
said, money is power. And,
peradventure, 1t will BUY happi-
ness" And, after many years, it
came to pass that his Golfers
overflowed, and in his garage
were seven automobiles, and In
his office were seven blonde
stenOgraphers.
But 10, he found himself beser
by grafters and insurance agents
and false friends and robbers in
friends clothing. And his life,
itself, was not safe from them
that would fitch his moneys from
him.
And he became cynic con-
corning all mankind.
Then the Man gave away all
he had and set forth alone, to
far country. And to cheer his
spirit, he made little song of
pleasant rhymes and sang it as
he went.
And behold, for the first time in
all his life he was HAPPY!
For 10, all his days, he had de.
sired to make songs and to sing
them but had never found the
time or the courage.
And he said in his heart:
Eat last, at last, 1 have found
the secret! For verify, verify,
only that man is happy who
doeth the thing which he re-
ioiceth to do-who hath found
his WORK and 10 HREE!"

only with the solid, substantial

the combination Of common sense,
energy, audacity and scientifically
