to show the governor signing the
act repeating the Mullen Gage state

the man put the wheel on again.
So George stopped his sobs, the
wagon was repaired within short
time, and he was, as his mother felt
sure, entirely happy once more.
This is one example of how to
give a child happiness. But such a
course fails to provide for happiness
in the future when Mother. or some
other person equally indulgent, is
not present to sympathize and to
relieve the trouble.
In contrast to this let us notice
the boy next door to George, in
connection with similar incident
Clarence was running a small me-
chanical automobil which operated
byewinding a spring. He was hav-
ing great fun with this when it ran
into the wall of the porch and bent
one of the front tenders so that the
car would not run straight. Try as
he would Clarence could not make it
follow the right course.
81 bent my auto" he called to-
his mother, but with no thought of
crying or complaining.
His mother asked cashually,
What can you do about it, SOM"
II don't know yet, but I'll do
something" replied Clarence stout
ly, and there was no more said
about the accident for some time.
But Mother heard Clarence in the
basement rafting tools and wire,
and at length he came hurrying
towards her, exclaiming, "See what
1 invented"
The invention was not perfect, to
be sure, but it comprised a front
bumper to the auto. 1t was made of
stout piece of wire that the small
boy had bent with the pliers and
twisted into place across the front
of the car. He had also Strengthened
the bent fender. Nov if my car
hits the porch rail the fender won't
bend, for my bumper will protect
it," he said, and his eyes shone with
the true joy of accomplishment. He
had met a difficulty and conquered
it, thus employing his own natural
powers of vision and intelligence.
He was not helpless, as George had
been, in the face of what to
child was nothing less than disas-
ter. Clarence had gained happiness
in winning a victory over adverse
conditions.
So it is in all phases of child
life. We can either hand out tenn
porary happiness because it is with
in our superior power to do so, or
we can direct children towards a.
chewing happiness by preparing
them to solve their own problems
without the supervision of adults.
The teaching of resourcefulness is
the wisest and surest means Of
insuring continued happiness with
regard to all the things which such
resourcefulness can reach.

SIX YEARS PROGRESS
IN PROSPERITY

A remarkable history of the pro-
gress of prosperity during the past
six years is told in a historians
recent assembling of the annual re-
ports of the Department of Com
merce covering those years. The
summary begins with the year fol-
lowing the slump of 1921, which
happens to mark also the year of
the appointment of Mr.. Hoover as
Secretary of Commerce.
In 1928, the Secretary was able
to announce that "the fiscal year
was marked by complete recovery
from the great slump of 1921 in all
branches of industry save agricul-
ture, and even in agriculture there
was some improvement"
J During the next year, as sum-
married. in the report for 1924,
there was continued recovery in
American industry and commerce,
aside from agriculture; great sta
biIity Of prices; high production;
full employment; and an expanding
foreign trade"
The outstanding features in the
report for 1925, "were the high
rate of production, consumption
and exports; high real wages, as
measured by buying power; alb
sence of unemployment; continued
and growing efficiency in manage
ment and labor; continued expan-
sion in the application of scientific
discovery to such fields as electric
power and light; the gas engine and
the radio. There were industrial
patches where progress Jagged. New
ertheless, the standard of living was
the highest in our history, and
therefore in all history"
Again Mr.. Hoover wrote in 1925:
"The year has been one never sur
passed in volume of production and
consumption, in physical quantity
of exports and imports and in the
rate of wages. There has been
practically no unemployment. Fur
Their progress has been made in the
efficiency of management and labor
and in scientific research and in
vention. AS in the preceding year,
there were a few points where con-
ditiOns were less satisfactory. On
the whole, however, the country
was able to maintain the highest
standard of living in history. This
represents a remarkable recovery
since the world war.
Then in November of last year: |
"The year continued the economic
progress which has been character !
istic of American industry for six
years. 1t exceeded all previous
records in volume of production
and consumption, and in quantity
of exports and imports. The rate
of real wages was higher than any
where else in the world or than any
other time in the worlds history"
