Thinking of sending little
Willie to college ten years from

grad who has gone through
college on Dads money.
Football and Dates
At 18, he, or she, is a bright,
alert, likable kid. Chief inter
ests-football and dates. They
don't know what they want to
be-" They have no particular
talent nor reason for going to
college. They're going "be-

At 10, he, or she, is still a
bright, alert, likable kid. Chief
interests-football and dates.
At 20, he, or she, is-ditto.
At 21-ditto again.
At %, when you and I were

For the four most important
years of youth they've Gotten

they, and most of the learned

Nothing like youngsters. Alice
and I would like a dozen of
them. But we've decided not to
have any more. 'Tisn't right to
bring a child into the world
unless you can do your duty by
it. And it's going to take every
nickel we can Scrape together to
send these two through college

Heard that argument, haven't
you? Probably you're making it
yourself. If so, DR.. Samuel
Smith Drury may give you
pause. DR.. Drury is a school
teacher-the rector of st. Paul's
School at Concord, N. H. And
he does not think college edu-
cations are necessary or even
advisable for all young people.
A Waste of Time
Moreover, he believes that
our practice of letting young
people dawdle away the years
from 18 to % in college, is a
wicked waste of time and man
power.
Says he in his annual report
Let a father ask his boy
do you want to invest four
years of your life while in
vest $4,000 of family money
in this venture?" Let them not
assume that a boy whose father
can afford it should go to col

boy.

cause youth loves learning, but
because society loves college,

18 and % little to offer.

He goes about glowing with
self-righteousness, and expect

TER MAN, isn't he? Well!
Bring on the flowers and the
applause.
He's going to give up cock
tails or cigarettes-and already
he's a teetotaler! He is going
to stop reading the newspapers
and go in for the classics-and
already, in his own imagination,
he's a Shakespearian scholar!
He's going to take a cold
plunge every morning-and al.
ready he's a polar bear!
In a mans mind, a New

woman-all that is necessary is
for IN to make up his MIND
about it, and everything is set

bad habit-and he has only to

It's a grand and glorious feel

DOYOU KNOW?

Lawn sprinklers have been
installed on the roof of an
apartment building in Omaha,
Neb., to lower the temperature
during extremely hot weather.
A device has been invented
in Germany which, when at
tached to an automobile, auto
matically displays a signal
when the car strikes a person
or other vehicle.
Operated by three men, a
machine has been developed
which plants small trees at
the rate of about 10 acres a
day. It plants trees six feet
apart, two rows being laid down
simultaneously.
A chain of modest hotels is
planned in England for mixers.
The hostelries would be spaced
about one days walk apart and
lodging provided at Is cents a
person. Cooking facilities
would also be made available
to all guests.
According to DR.. Herbert
Levenstein, British scientist, the
the world might in the future
live on air. Besides synthetic
nitrogen, he said, the air might
yet supply synthetic coal to re-
place fuel, and the worlds raw
materials and power might ulti-
mately be drawn from the air,
the water, the soil, and the
sun.

The Self-made Man

There is no friend so disap-
pointing as the self-satisfied
one.
If you feel that you have
accomplished all that you care
to gain in this world and
reached position which is
good enough for any man you
must be easily pleased.
Indicating to your friends
that you are complacent with
good fortune is Irritating, to
say the least.
Perhaps they can see better
than you where you have failed
as they view it.
You may have gained a for
tune but be uncultured and un-
Travelled.
You may have barrels of
money and plenty of sharp
corners to your character.
The self-made man is fire.
quently a great bore.
At every opportunity he will
tell of his early struggles and
how he Surmounted them, and
what a success he has made
from a poor start.
Most men of prominence
have had to work hard and
long to get where they are,
and then have to keep going or
they begin to fall back.
Holding yourself up as an
example of hard work. per-
severance and pluck shows you
have reached your limit and
are going the other way.
