5. The chief point Of character
change is the point of choice.
8. Any external influence which
is brought to bear upon the
character growth Of any one
individual must be brought
to bear at those times when
he is making vital choices.
I 1t is at these times that one
seeks to occupy vital place
in helping boys to develop
wholesome characters finds
his opportunity.

unique way what character might

Reputation is seeming, Character is

Reputation is manufactured; Char

Reputation is your photograph;

Reputation u what you need to get

Reputation il what comes over you

and that there had been a rearange-
ment of salaries without his know
ledge. He said:
You see, | was led to believe BY
the board that everything was to re-
man IN status quo, and that AL APP
rolntments would be tentative. I'M
aglne how | felt when | learned of
these hurried placements and confii-
nation in key positions. To cap it
all off, | was told by Acting Presi-
dent Lee that he (Lee) had been ad-
vised by Chairman Holman that all
appointments made would be per-
manent.o
DR. Turner then proceeded to tell
about the first shock received by
him upon arrival.
| did think the chairman of the
board would accord me the privilege
Of talking to him in private about
conditions around the schod and
that | might outline to him my
theories regarding administration,
etc, but instead Of having this op-
pol.tunity, the chairman brought III
teacher in the school named Tay-
Ion.
Jimmy Knows Everybody
He ratted this young man on the
back and said, This is Jimmy. jim
my was born in this county and
knows everybody Jimmy here is
the dean of men, manager of the
dining ro m, and general publicity
man for the school.
Turner said he later learned from
Acting President Lee that Taylor
is IN charge Of student labor and n
recently organized commssary.
When asked to state specific in
stances he had n ted Of hurried des-
ignation made on the faculty, DR..
Turner said he had been advised that
Mrs. Josie Craig B Try, Oklahoma
City, had been named dean Of wo
men three days before he arrived on
the campus and that Dewey Batch
elor had been AIMED registrar, and
d | of his assistants selected during
the current week jeanette v. Gear
was also named instructor in Eng
ish during the current week, SO it
was said He declared:
Why, | would not think Of as
suming esponsibility for the finan
ces of the institution unless | per-
sonally selected the individuals whom
entrusted with such work Take,
for example, the young man Taylor.
l never met nicer fes ow He was
obliging and kind all of the time
was on the campus. But why should
he not be? He had been given charge
of the entire business of the school
and L was TO sit on the outside and
assume the responsibility. Suppose
he ran the dining department in the
hole? Why the situation and con-
ditions they were about to impose
upon me at Langston were positive
" and definitely impossible.
Regrets Turmoil at School
ITS just different situation than
/ was promised and since do not
have to take it, I will not. regret
exceedingly to throw the school back
into disorganized state, but can
not see what I could otherwise dc
under the circumstances"

Too Much Work

The British have discovered that over time work to meet the excessive require ments of wartime industrial production defeats its purpose soon after the first enthusiastic sprint American industrial ists have known this for some time. No matter how we'll rewarded worker may be for overtime activity, his body is not a simple mechanism.
 Most induStrialiStS agree that the 40- hour week guarantees the highest aver age of efficiency. Other factors, how ever enter into a mans ability to pro- duce, safety and efficiency experts have learned through long study and experi- mentation. Proper light and sanity fac tors are important. But just as import ant are uncomfortable factors - the workers diet, his sleep, his home rela- tionShipS
 Industry is making every effort to reduce factory accidents. There Is noth- ing 1t can do, however, about the man who accidentally puts his finger beneath a buzz-saw because he has had mother ir-law trouble.

Senatorial Calm

Of all people, members of the U. s. Senate have been complaining about noise. They protested that the rattling of the wheels on their private railway, run ming beneath the street from the Capitol to the Senate office building, makes it impossible to carry on conversation.
 Unlike other matters that come before Congress, this situation was quickly rem edied. The Capitol architect saw the American Transit Association which referred him to the Washington Transit Company which immediately went to work and promised rubberized silence by Christmas.
 The distance between the office build ing and the Senate wing of the Capitol is about two blocks. The ride takes less than five minutes It is cruel imposi- ton on senatorial temperament to cut off conversation during this brief daily junket Perhaps the real objection to the noisy trans is the fact that only the most resonant and believing members get a chance to make themselves heard.

Gentle Reminders

The park commission of Akron, Ohio, has added that personal touch to its ap- peals to the public and has learned some- thing that all child psychologists could have told 1t long ago. Akron has elim- mated street signs and posters in public places which are emblazoned with "don'ts" and By Order of the Police De- partment." Instead, Akron taxpayers are likely to run into something like this: "Bill - would like to come back next year and find the park as 1t is today. Let's leave the ferns and flowers where they are" This new note of kindness and appeal to neighborliness is already having its effect, Akron authorities re- port.
 Most teachers know it's better to tell e child, Let's not run across the street." than to say, Don't you dare run across the street." There's an implication that teacher isn't to do 1t either, so every- body's In the same boat. Other cities might profitably experiment with human nature by tacking up few gentle signs. There's no telling what good might come Of it.

Using Facts As Defense

The best way to beat back propaganda, says Professor Maynard Krueger, of the University of Chicago, Is to be armed with the facts, It Is true that persons well versed in the real facts about a war or any other Issue will never be deeply iin- pressed by propaganda which disregards the truth.
 The fundamental difficulty Is that 1t Is almost impossible to determine, in many cases, what the true facts may be. The most effective kind of propaganda Is the kind that is deftly disguised. Much of 1t appears to be completely logical. A speaker from another country with an ax or two to grind sounds sincere and unbeguiling.
 The newspapers today are trying hard to present the European wars as Actually as possible. They are meeting with un- usual success. The American press learned a thing or two about propaganda during the last war. It does not intend to become sucker for glib-tangued mis- statements in the present situation.

Paying for War

Uncle Sam closed his books, the other day, on direct claims of Civil War naval veterans when Rear Admiral Regi- nald Nicholson died at the age of 87. After 75 years, we have finished paying off this part of our debt.
 Still on our rolls for compensation, however are widows and children of Civil War naval veterans; the last vestige of Civil War land forces and their widows and children; survivors and claimants from the Spanish-American war, 40 years ago; thousands of beneficiaries from the World War; only 2l years ago. In fact, Uncle Sam Is still paying one daughter of War of 1872 veteran and several others have filed claims for compensa- tion. That conflict ended 125 years ago.
 It takes long time to pay for wars. Ever since this republic was founded we've been paying in some measure for the bad temper of ourselves and the world. If, at any time, we're not quite sure what we're going to do about the worlds present struggle, We might ask the war and navy departments to send us brief memoranda on our monthly war bill--stretching back for 125 years,

Peace in Pieces

To American foreign university stu dents who recently met in New York to discuss means of establishing a durable world peace, the theory of organizing the entire world into peace bloc in one fell swoop looks little like dream. Dreams, the group fears, may so easily turn into nightmares
 Much better, the students agreed, would be sectional peace movements, go- Ing on simultaneously. Under such an arrangement, each area of the globe might be effectivey insulated against war within itself. And among the differ ent sections of the globe, reciprocal treat les to cover commerce and other inter- national problems could be worked out.
 It Is good to hear people talking of peace, It was good to hear British peers in the House of Lords talk about peace, even while England's war has scarcely begun. The whole world ought to go on talking about 1t and thinking about 1t so that when a break finally comes, the settlement will not be a makeshift one, governed by hatreds and selfish motives.

McHUGH SCORES LATE COM. MENTs ON c. 0. P'S RACIAL
 PREJUDICEs
Editor of The Democrat:

Editor of The Democrat:
 Echoes of the Republican party primary and the recent oity eloc- ton campaign, are vibrating in ev- cry corner of the city. Reiterations of statements made by me, and also penned in the local newspapers, pertaining to clanishness, racial prejudice. cotiniving. hand picked tactics in selecting candidates, etc., which existed in the Republican party are very numerous now that the results of tie election were aS I predicted. Editorials .iri Republican
 newspapers agreeing that there was an Ethiopian in the woodpile, and opinions voiced now openly and not in whispers by most everybody con. nected with the Republican party reminds one of the farmer who locked the barn door after the horse was stolen. The time for edi- torials to correct evils, that existed in the Republican party was months ago, but when people, cone AASStSt WAbhA ASWbP4RSA0 WAlV kVDtSk beiated editorials that admit said evils, on the reading public, were closely aligned with the so-called brain trust of the Republican party, I am forced to admit 1t would be hard for them to be faithful to the party itself and to the selfish interests of their colleagues also. The time also for Republicans who are really interested in their party and the city of Waterbury, to ex- press their opinions openly and drive out of power leaders who have nothing but their own selfish inter- ests at heart; leaders who openly stated that 1t would be better to lose control of the city government for another two years than have an Italian head the Republican ticket, especially one who has e mind of his owr and cannot be dictated to, was many month ago also. Maybe everything happened for the best interests of the Republican party and the city of Waterbury. Repub- licans especially active. hard-work- ing Republicans, know how much their efforts are appreciated by any such group that ig allowed to gain control of thejr party. The city of Waterbury cannot lose by events that happened. The Republican con- nivers forced the Democrat party to select as theiE standard bearer

The energy has been expended. Christ mas was successful. Everyone did his and her bit to ignore the dire situations confronting the world The good and christian went to church, prayed for peace, for their friends and their enemies Presents were received, good, bad and h. different. Cities and towns decorated to the hilt and the illumination on high ways and byWays was unparalleled, The day after Christmas Is never much of a day. That grand energy is no more, and most of us feel as inflated as pricked balloon. Already Christmas Is In the back ground. Window decorations are being changed. Merchants are taking stock and praying they will survive the days of Christmas exchanging. This Is Tuesday, the day after, and perhaps the most un- interesting day of the year.

Selected Poem
ONE WINDOW

(Keith Thomas in the Christian Science Monitor) Gray rain drifts coidiy through e winter day. But looking through this window he could say The world is golden, smiling that 1t should be So And glad of being This window and this world are not the same. This world is narrow, and this windows frame Goes past the dark trees, black upon the watery
 gray,
 The dull horizon. Conveniently in and out Of space, This window has no wall to mark it's place Roads. rivers. mountains, woods and sun or moon Are held within 1t. Location and the instant are no more To him than stairs within houses core, Which he may mount. and from the window look
 and say /, The world is golden.

Although severely criti- cized for my activities iiS behalf of the Democratic ticket, being c Re- publican, was very grateful for the opportunity to support Vincent A. Scully, Q lifelong friend, c man that nobody had to sell to me. ! knew him from childhood and know now that his administration of the affairs of the city of Waterbury will far surpass the expectations of most of his loyal supporters and the citizens of Waterbury. Vincent scully b iii c better position today than Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridgeport was when he took over the administration of that city and by conducting the office as know he will, he stands 6 better chance of staying in ofiice longer than Jas. per will. Waterbury has been wait- ing for c man of MT. Sculiy,s cal- iber and will appreciate him. As 6 Friend I wish him the best of luck and . long reign in ofiice even though 1t means that the Republi- can party will be on the outside looking in. As Q Republican ask all fair-iminded Republicans, both ordinary citizens and elected and appointive officials to play ball with Mir. ecully, he knows only one way to play, and that is the fair and honest way. The city will gain by 1t and as the city is your interests, protect them by keeping them in good hands.
