In line with this policy, a new

Harvard next year for those al

Youth Has
New Program
Young America, however, is
coming forward rapidly with a
new program. Recently this
column ran a contest for the
youngsters on the subject-"F
I WE'RE DICTATOR FOR A
DAY."
Eighty per cent Of the 1000
letters received advocated train
ing for political leaders" A 49,
year-old lad, Louis P. Amoruso,
80 Cameron Ave-, Somerville,
Mass, suggested as follows:
THERE SHOULD BE AN
ESTABLISH MENT OF A
WEST POINT OF GOVERN
MENT IN EVERY STATE IN
It1E ON4ONs
1.-THE cream of the intelligent,
sincere youths, who want to
make politics their life work,
should receive the same rigid
training for the governmental
leadership as the young men OF
West Point now receive to be-
come military leaders.
WITHOUT INTELLIGENT
ADMINISTRATION, DEMOC-
RACY WILL DIE! We must
take government out Of the
hands of the common unframed
politician and place it in charge
of intelligent, trained experts" "
That's telling them. What's
YOUR answer?

e~o Character Is Slowly Created e~o

THE person who does not know
how to get along with himself,
as he is, may do several things.
He may be anxious about his
weaknesses and try continually
to cover them up. He may feel
sorry for himself. He may be
overly quick to defend his actions,
finding excuses even before he
has been criticized. He may brag
or boast without stopping to
think that only the one who is
not sure of himself must spend
all of his time Dragging about
how good he is.
The one who can not get along
with himself has very little of the
spirit of honest acceptance - he
can not quite accept himself for
what he is. He has the feeling
that he does not like himself very
we'll. He may build up a day
dream of what he could do if only
he had the talent of someone else.
Yet the one who is constantly
creating unhappiness as he goes
along, simply because he can not
come to friendly terms with him
self, is able to help straighten out
the difficulty in the following way:
First, he must accept himself
as he is. Without grumbling,
without resistance, he must qui-
city accept, That may be a little
easier if he will take look at
the vast horde of other people in
the world. Just by looking at or
binary humans he will make the

"Oh :. :"
Well, that was that.
A T SEVEN that evening when
~ the doorbell rang his supper
was cooking-corned beef hash
and frying onions. The kitchen
was untidily strewn with laundry
in various stages of being laun-
dered.
Diana stood in the hall.
He surveyed her with annoyed
surprise.

phoning up first, but 1 was afraid
you'd say no and l wanted to see
you before you went away.

He stood staring at her. FL

minute" he said ungraciously.
i've got to dress and hurry out"
He was miserably aware of the
oddness of his before dinner cos
tume-his Yale crew sweater and
a dingy pair of white fiannels.
Diana's eyes were large and
solemn as she regarded him.

encouraging discovery that he is
just as good as most of them and
far better than a great many. BY
such discovery he advances to-
ward a better opinion of himself.
Second, he must face the fact
that any beautiful character is an
achievement which must be slowly
created. The building up of
worthwhile character is job
that may take between 20 and so
years. The whole thing is a proc
ess of education. of being edu-
Gated as one goes along There
are many victories and many de-
feats. And yet out of this strug-
gle, out of these battles met and
won or met and lost, comes the
creation of strong personality
which has been tested by trouble
and made self-reliant by trying
again and again.
Third, he must learn not to take
himself too seriously. He must
learn how to laugh at his ups and
downs and how to laugh at him
self.
Fourth, he may have to learn
how to give up gracefully when
he discovers that the goal he has
chosen may be the wrong goal
for him. By letting go of one am
bition he may find himself free to
carry out another which happens
to be the right one. BY studying
the lives of great men he will find

that most of them did not at once
set sail for their final ports. Start
ing in any way they could, they
have zigzagged from port to port
before finding the one where they
fitted in the best. He must keep
his mind open to the suggestion
that an even greater success than
he anticipates may be waiting for
him in some other direction.
Fifth, the one who can not get
along with himself must keep try
ing to express himself in action.
He earns his merit by trying. Any
man who has tried his best Is en-
titled to his own self-respect.
Finally, he must realize that he
does not need to be right all of
the time. He does not need to in
sist that he Is right--does not
need to argue about it. Just real
izing that nobody, not even HIM
self, expects him to be one hum
dred percent right, Will take a
load off his shoulders.
To sum it all up-the one who
wants to get along better with
himself must accept himself as
he really is, he must be willing
to work at the job of creating the
character he admires, he must
learn how to laugh and, II neces-
sary, how to let go of the wrong
ambition, he must keep trying,
and he need not expect to be con-
stantly in the right. This set of
attitudes leads to the creation OF
a wholesome personality which is
at peace with itself.

Like a hurt child she studied

to hide the humiliation that

the small blue sofa in his liv-

a friendly, apologetic glance.

She picked up her things slowly.
But we can be pals, Vic?" 1t
was gayly said.
why not?" He spoke over his
shoulder. I'm not here very
much though, and when I am, I'm
apt to be pretty busy"
They went out together. 'I'll
call you up some day, Di," he said
casually.
Brusquely he spoke to the door
man: IF that lady ever asks for
me, Jim, say I'm out, will you?"
His monotonous existence went
on for two months after this un-
broken by changes other than a
marked increase in his despond-
ency and an ever more touching
stream of notes from Diana.
Finally one of them had to be

He dashed to the, corner drug

number. And while he waited
breathless for her answer tor

spreading out on the shelf his en-
tire financial assets-tWo dimes,
three nickels and two pennies.
Hello" 1t was her voice.
"Dii What's the matter with
you?" He strove in vain to keep
anxiety out of his voice.
"Oh, Vic, it's you-at last"
Her voice sounded strong and
cheerful.
But what's the matter with
you?" he persisted.
I'm just getting over a miser-
able cold, and l felt so dreary
that I needed cheering up"
A strong feeling of irritation
mingled with his relief. He swept
the thirty-seven cents back into
his pocket savagely.

She seemed bewildered and hurt.

felt her take his arm. He stopped
short.

Il left him. 1 wanted to be with
you"
His face set in stern, hard lines.
That was a foolish thing to do.
I've got business to attend to-"
oh" Her faltering assur-
ance left her. He looked at her
for a moment. 1t dawned on him
suddenly that there was some
thing superfcially different about
her.
Come on up to my apartment"
he smiled. "I'll cook you some
eggs and we can talk awhile"
rHE fell into step beside him
y and they turned up Park Ave
nue.. He seemed preoccupied, and
she kept silent.
Finally he spoke. Where do
you sell your stuff ?" he asked
abruptly.
"Well-" She seemed reluctant
to bring it out. LAS a matter of
fact, I'm not doing anything very
important yet, but I'm stepping
up all the time. The main thing
is that I get twice as much
money now as when 1 started"
He WINGED. How much do you
get?"
"Ddrling-"
He grinned at her. How much
do you make, Dir"
"Well-if l work hard I can
make two hundred a month" She
met his gaze. "Vic, stop feeling
sorry for me! You've no idea how
we'll you can live on two hundred
a month. Of course to a pluto
crat like you"
He ignored the last observation.
What happens if you get ill?"
II don't get i'll. I wouldn't think
of getting i'll. /"
Here we are, honey" he inter-
rupted gently.
AS he put his key in the lock
he asked without looking at her,
why don't you marry that love-
lorn youth you left back in Mar
tinis? That is the Eric Howard
who has millions, isn't it ?"
"Yes, that's he"
He closed the door and spoke
authoritatively. You should
marry him. 1 hear he's nice
fellow, and he could give you
everything you ought to have"
Marry him-and then what ?"
she said quietly.
"Oh-go on with your art if
you want"
Love, I suppose, is just one of
those things that you read about"
1T doesn't last" He picked up
his mail. "If you're fond of a
person, if you have companion
ship and a background" He
ripped open an envelope, scowl-
ing.
She was silent. He turned his
gaze upon her. Then glanced
quickly away.
But she was in his arms. "Oh,
Vic" She was trembling vio-
lently. Though he struggled
against it, his arms tightened
hard around her. Her voice came
in muffied tones. "You-you don't
ever get over these things, do
you?"
What things?" he asked, very
still.

"Nothing!" His face was hard.

moment. I'm sorry, Vic. I'll

She looked pale and worried.

He didn't answer. Just sat, ex-
