COLLECTION. Recently we saw in an English
paper the account of an item left in legacy
to child. 1t consisted of twelve toys in an
inlaid cabinet - quaint little models of horses
and carriages, gigs and hanson cabs. Years
ago they were purchased at penny apiece
by the wife of clergyman during her visits
to London. At her death. she bequeathed
them to her husband, and they have been
passed on in successive bequests. Each year
has added to their value.
Today it is possible to build similar COL
lections. For a nickel or a dime in American
stores you can buy models of autos trucks
airplanes and home furnishings. Even in
decade they will begin to look like antiques.
and they will have special interest for our
descendants fifty or a hundred years from
now.
COMING. For our Christmas issue next
week. we are proud to announce special
feature = anew and powerful story by Pearl S.
Evening star., 1940-12-15

of the most inspiring stories from the thrilling his
tory of polar exploration told me by Sir Hubert
~ Wilkins about his meeting with the great Norwegian
explorer Roald Amundsen The latter bold outspoken
who had long been bitter professional enemy of Will
knss For years he had criticized Wilkins irresponsible
oryhuter who doing great harm the of arctic
exploration who endangered himself needessy and
pshed nothing Then, in 1925 Wilkins and Eielson made
the brilliant OOmie exploratory fight from Point Barrow
to Spsbege which Amundsen himself later came to describe
as the greatest fight made anywhere.
On his way home from Spitsbergen Wilkins stopped in
Norway and decided to call his rival and critic He told
the story very simply he Wilkins walked up the
long path Amudsen front lawn how the latters door
suddenly burst open how the aging Norwegian shot of
his house. streaming down his face, Wilkins
embraced him and Cried Forgive Wilkins Forgive
was wrong"
To me one of the suest signs of human greatness not the
habit of being always right like that would be
bearabe he possible but the ability, the
hand. to stand firmly by convictions, and the
other to admit your mistakes and change your convictions
when the need arises.
l once knew who appointed to important
office because of his splendid record nte
gent liberal thinker and fearless fighter for what he
sidered right. 1t fine appointment and it hailed
with shout of joy.
But things went wrong right away The started his
job with certain fixed ideas splendid but fixed When
those ideas didn't work. perhaps because they didn't fit the
facts he unwilling change them He merely grew stub
born and started battle and bluff things through Inevt
ably the joy with which his appointment had first been hailed
turned to mistrust and eventually to hatred
working in his division and he asked to his house
evening discuss the extremely difficult turn of events
told him my honest opinion which shared by almost
everybody else in the division He had made serious
bunder but it too late to correct them and to
regain many times the confidence that people had for
merly had in him and leader He was deeply
offended and considered dsloya We argued for hours,
but accomplished nothing As leaving his wife took
aside and said: Earl you ought to know by that
my husband who has in his life admitted
to himself that he wrong"
To that is of the most terrible things that
say of another If am always right then somebody
else must be always wrong And invariably would be bur-
deed with and benesses that would prevent
from going ahead with my job. Thus those resentments
would hurt much than they would mjue my critics.
My government official is today minor job where he
can't do much harm much good either Just stubborn

as ever he spends much time and energy trying to justify
himself and escape the blame for past mistakes that he has
nothing left for doing the truly fine things he had planned
Theodore Roosevelt used say: IF you succeed
going! If you fail keep gong Marvellous advice but
almost useless unless also willing to face those of
mistakes that contributed failures in the first place.
One of the most brilliant have known min
ing engineer twenty years been unable to rise above
whole series of small and insignificant jobs The reason
for that that you and have both at work
times in ourselves honest enough, and certainly
dozens of able stenographers saesmen bookkeeers and
hired The precisely that he could not admit
himself the possibility of his making mistake
The world can't trust man like that.
WHEREVER he goes according this engineer everybody
docs him dirt He is constantly talking about the worlds
nustices him. Now, it quite possible probable
that he has been treated unfairly Such treatment all too
everyday life But it is also obvious that he
invites injustice Never does he have down
with himself and sad Nov, that pretty nasty thing
happen to What did do wrong? What did do to
invite and permit it,"
The funny part of it is that human errors which so many
of try desperately to up often just
structive human affairs and just important truths.
1t has been said that the progress of mankind only often
rides the wings of great illusions Columbus for instance,
sailed west IN search of India because he mistakenly thought
that the world much smaller than really Riding his
error. he accomplished tremendous amount for the world
and for his fame but he ruined himself and his life by
continuing to ride the after his experiences
had proved him wrong.
The story is that his first voyage Columbus
vnced that he had reached the East Indies accordance
with his preannounced plan On his second he
to have had eemg doubts On the third he made his
sign afdavs that they had been the East Indies
and nowhere else pretty good indication that he
fairly sure himself that he had been nowhere India That
Columbuss personal tragedy The iron chains in which
he eventually died perfectly symbolic of the psyche
logical chains that he had hung around his neck He had
staked his reputation concept the world Faced with
the facts he unwilling unable to admit that his
cept might be wrong after ALL So he died in disgrace while
the that he had tried desperately to deny into
the founding of world that far greater than the
India he sought.
The lesson extremely important at exactly the present
