Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Specialization.

Much is said and more is surmised
about the faults and virtues OF modern
civilization and its specialization OF
industry.
On the one hand it is argued that
specialization tends to create ma
chine mind, which balks and tires at
every innovation. Specialization ad
mits of no experimentation, no flashes
of imaginatio When the days work
is done the worker looks back, not
upon a day CT achievement, but upon
Just another period of routine. In
order to Offset the benumbing effect
the worker must seek some excite
ment, which in turn is followed by
no less distinct feeling CT remorse.
On the other hand, it is argued that
specialization makes for efficiency and
leisure The one who has not learned
to employ that leisure in the pursuit
of achievement has allowed himself to
become a slave to his work.
The argument centers around one
point: Are you as a specialist able to
make your hobby time more valuable
than your work?
Truly great creations in science and
literature have often been the products
of leisure time. The Essays OF Ella"
and Leaves of Grass" are notable ex-
amples.

druff tonic to the scalp: Two drains
resorcin. two drains castor oil, six
ounces bay rum. Use medicine drop
per to apply. Massage the scalp for 10
minutes. Use the same tonic every day
for six days, then on the seventh have
another oil treatment. Two weeks OF
these treatments should bring the dan
druf under control. The tonic may
then be applied only twice week and
the kerosene omitted from the oil treat
ment, which should precede each sham

A Sermon for Today
Voice in the Wilderness.
BY REV. JOHN R. GUM.

1.-THE voice of one crying in the will
derness Matt. Ills.
A voice crying in the wilderness! 1t
is always crying there-the voice Of
hope. other voices cry there; the voice
of doubt, fear, despair. But II we
listen to these voices, we shall never
find our way out of the wilderness. II
we listen only to the minor chords OF
life, the world will seem nothing but a
desert of gloom and darkness.
There is no need of denying that this
world has a wilderness aspect. 1t
would be a superficial optimism that
direction we look, the facts Of evil,
suffering and sorrow are too tragically
Impressed upon us to be blinked at.
And yet, through all this wilderness OF
human woes, We hear a voice crying.
the voice of hope. Let us not be deaf
to this voice. There is much evil in
the world; but good exists too, and good
will overcome the evil at last, because
God lives and reigns. While there are
many blots and shadows on the world
it is Gods world; and we have His
promise that ultimately 1.-The wilderness
shall be made to blossom as rose"
In our individual lives we often find
ourselves in wilderness like circum-
stances. Life's jurney takes us through
many wildernesses-som it is a
reverse of fortune, sometimes it is a
sore disappointment over frustrated
plans, sometimes it is sickness, some
times it is the valley of the shadow of
DEATH" where the heart is rent with
grief and sorrow But we never come
into any wilderness, be 1t ever SO bleak
and desolate, but that we hear a voice
crying unto us, bidding us be of good
cheer and good hope, assuring us Of a
brighter sun and brighter day ahead.
If only we will heed it. there is always
a voice crying in the wilderness, saying,
Weeping may endure for the night,
but joy cometh in the morning"
We plead not for that foolish opti-
nism that shuts it's eyes to facts Whether
as to the world or our individual lives,
we admit the wilderness. But beyond
the wilderness lies the Canaan of prom
ise and hope. Paint life's clouds in
blacklist colors, II you will, but across
the blacklist cloud that ever overshad-
ows human life shines the rainbow of
Gods love and covenant of promise.
Therefore, in spite of the dreary as
poets of our lives and the world about
us, let us be hopeful always.

Farmer Browns Boy was looking up
n ar the top of giant cactus. Flip the
Terrier looked up too, but all he saw was
bird, and birds never did interest Flip
unless they happened to be on the
ground, where he could have the fun OF
soaring them into sudden flight. But
his master was interested. Yes, sir, his
master was interested.
In the first place. these great cactus
plants, as big as trees, were of more
than little interest to him. Mother
Brown had cactus plant at home and
he had seen oth.r cactus plants. All OF
these were small plants with thick green
leaves covered with spines, leaves that
seemed to sprout out of each other.
But here was plant with trunk as
big around as the trunk of large tree.
From this trunk far above his head sew
eral branches grew out and turned up,
and these branches w5re perhaps half as
big as the trunk. Trunk and branches
were ribbed eand were covered with
Spines. There We're no small branches,
twigs or what looked like leaves. On the
main trunk, perhaps 80 feet from the
ground, was the bird

that fellow almost fooled me for a
minute. Yes, sir. he did so. When
first saw him I almost mistook him for
yellow Wing the Flicker. / saw him
fly up there and the under sides of his
wings and tail are yellow. Just notice,
however, that he has red mustache in
stead of black one such as Yellow
Wing back home wears. Then, too,
there isn't any red on the back of his
head. So he must be one of Yellow
Wings cous!ns. How, under the sun,
cid he alight up there and avoid those
spines, and what is he going to do there?
Certainly he cannot drum, for that cac-
tus isn't hard like wood"
Farmer Browns Boy, in speaking of
the birds mustache. had not meant
real mustache. He had meant the two
marks, one on each side of the face,
which looked like mustache. And he
was quite right in thinking that this
was cousin of Yellow Wing 1t was
Cactus Bill the Gilded Flicker. He is
found only in the warm regions of the
Southwest, especially in the dry regions,
where the giant castus grows.
Farmer Browns Boy didn't have to
wait long to find out what Cactus Bill
intended to do. He went to work ex-
actly as Yellow Wing goes to work on
a tree in which he intends to make a
nest. He paid no attention to Farmer

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.

a place in the world. Now then, how to
find the place and help him to fit into
it. Build schools. Equip schools to meet
all the situations that arise in early
life. School Is not a place for book
lessons only. 1t is the place where chill
dren learn to live better than they
knew when they first entered. Life goes
on in school. We overlook that in the
hurry OF manning the school, getting
the course of study set for the ma jor-
ity, selecting the teachers, paying them,
pacifying the taxpayer, keeping the
children in order long enough to get
our work dcne. So often it is our work
that goes on in school, while the chill
dren have no part but the passive one.
Children are not By nature passive.
We are learning that they ought not
to be encouraged to be so, but rather to
be alert, questioning and active. In
order to meet this, we must have the
active school. In close association with
that idea IS the other: Provision for
the child who stands out like the sore
thumb. He ought to be removed from
the class where he is creating dis
turbance, because he Is wasting his time
and that of everybody else in the room.
But there must be place to put him
where his time and energy can be put
to his credit for growth.
Most children will fit into some sort
of good school or class, provided the
school or class is ready to receive them.
That must be our greatest care for the
next 10 years-establish schools, classes,
institutions and the like, to care for
every child that needs special care. We
cannot allow one of them to be thrown
out, lest they return to ask an account
ing Of us.
1t Is not fair to ask children to do
what is impossible and then throw
them out into world for which they
are unSuited.

Throw Him Out.

Throw him out" is the easiest, SIM
plest, most comfortable way CT ending
the trouble an unadjusted child creates
at home or in school. 1t would be de-
lightful If it ended there. Unfortu-
nately for all of us, when child is
thrown out of one place he turns up
in another and there Is usually an in
crease of trouble for us in the new sit
uation. 1t Is unwise to do any throw
ing out until we see where the discarded
child is to arrive.
1t is plain to every teacher that some
children cannot get along with the
class In which they are placed. The
reasons for this vary with the child.
Sometimes he is retarded mentally, or
he is not fit physically. He has been
trained in opposition to all the class
happens TO stand for. His gifts and
talents find no expression in the set
program. He is social misflt. What
