Word Blindness Cause

The boys father explained that,
although the boy was clever math-

well, he was unable to read.

Such people, an authority at the

Time Out For Inventory


We are again drawing near the
close of another year. Every good
business man will be taking in
ventory Of his goods 1t seems to
me that we, too, should take in
ventory Of our lives.
AT the beginning Of this year,
we made many resolutions and ex-
pected to carry them out, but it
was not long before we broke
many Of them, and later forgot
them. Since no one is able to
carry out all the resolutions ne
makes, no matter how jealous he
may be, would it not be better to
resolve to do our best in all things
and then try to live up to that?
Now let each of us take an hon
est stock Of our lives, and see
whether this year that is closing
is leaving us with a debit or credit
First we shall consider the ques-
tion Of snobbishness. Are you a
member Of the snobs? Because
you are prettier than the next per
son, have you become conceited
and egotistical? Too much of the
beauty is only surface beauty and
the soul is often ugly. Real beau
ty IS not merely outward beauty
but it is shown in kindness, perse-
verance and helpfulness.
Do you think because you have
more brilliant mind than any
other person that you are sup
er-being" and entitled to disregard
the needs of other people. 1t is
not an outstanding feat if you can
do the ordinary fact quickly and
effortlessly. The one who should
be praised is the one who finds it
dijcult to do and yet overcomes
the dijculty. The more brilliant
and capable you are, the more is
expected of you. Those who are
able to grasp things quickly and
who have been blessed with a bril-
liant mind should help those who
have difficulty in understanding
things.
Did you expect other people to
subordinate their ideas and
thoughts to yours, to give you all
the privileges, because you have
more money than they? Those
who put on the most outward
show are usually the ones who
have the least when the false COW
ering is taken off.
Have you looked down on others
because toy cannot trace their
parentage to important men, who
were of the blue blood class ?"
There is, however, only one aris-
tocracq, the aristocracy of educa-
ton. BY this 1 do not mean the
education that most men boast,
that because they had the oppor-
tunity to attend college they are
educated. No, I mean the educa-
ton that has taught you to do
your own work to the best of your
ability; to think of your fellow
men as much as of yourself, and
to help them whenever possible.
The education that has been
brought about by overcoming
trials and temptations; that has
made you better man or woman
both morally and physically, and
that has inspired you to higher
and better things.
Have you always given the best
IN you and have you striven for
the better things of life, or have
you been bent on accommodating
wealth with the exclusion of all
else? 1t has rightly been said,
The love of money is the root of
al evil" Money, in and for it
self, does not harm, but it is the
love of money that has been the
cause of the greatest number of
crimes. If you feel that you are
acquiring love for it, check
yourself and do not let it take pos
session of you, for it will take all
tne enjoyment out of your life.
] II you have made mistakes in
