Newsboy Training

A great army of boys work all
over the country delivering and
selling newspapers. 1t is a splendid
training, and a job that has given
many successful men their start in
life. These boys by the degree of
fidelity they show, give some idea
what kind of men they will be-
come.
Those who never miss a customer,
who sell many papers, look like
born business men. You are likely
to hear from them later on. Those
who can't keep their accounts
straight. and who can't deliver the
papers regularly. need to change
their ways.
Some boys are so interested in
reading the papers as they deliver
them, that they are slow in getting
over their routes. That shows a
keen mind. and these boys will prob
ably come out all right. The boy
who keeps his customers waiting too
long is not so good.

Competition Between
Sexes

Young men who can't find work
sometimes complain because The
girls have gone into the business
world, and are filling jobs once held
by young men. You can't ask their
employers to throw those girls out,
and employ men. The money those
girls earn and spend creates a vast
volume Of business. which should
provide work for an equal number
Of people.
In former generations the ma
lority of girls used to stay at home
and help their families until they
got married. When those girls de-
cided to go out and earn money,
they added a great new producing
force to the country. which should
make a large addition to the coun-
try's prosperity.
There ought to be work for all who
desire to work. whether men, wo-
men. girls or boys, old or young,
and who are capable of doing good
work. In former days, such work
existed. Perhaps the coun-
try has forgotten some of the prin-
ciples that used to make work.

Feet and War

The United States is in danger of
being defeated in any war in which
the troops have to do any appre-
ciable amount of marching. said a
noted foot expert to the National
Association of Chiropodists. H
spoke of the great numbers of men
who have foot defects. which would
be a serious handicap in war service.
Many people. in choosing foot
wear, pick the shoes which look
stylish. regardless whether they fit
their feet or are adapted to an ac-
tive life. People who ride every
where instead of walking. often be-
come Indifferent to the condition of
their feet. If we are to develop a
powerful military nation. the young
men will need to learn to do some
hing with their feet besides step
ping on the gas.
Milford chronicle., 1940-09-06
The Motive in Marriage

The American people have always
been romantic about love. The pre-
vailing idea has been that marriage
should be the result Of a genuine
love affair. 1t has not usually been
thought well for people to marry un-
less somewhat deeply in love.
In various lands marriage is
more like a business partnership.
In many cases parents arrange mar
riages for their young people. They
look over their circle of friends. pick
out some family alliance they think
would be helpful, and then choose
a daughter or son of that family as
a mate for their own offspring.
They act on the theory that ro-
mantle love is likely to fade out be-
fore long, and that then the ques-
ton arises whether the pair have
those solid and substantial qualities
that will make the union a lasting
one. They want their sons to find
good homemakers and housekeepers,
and their daughters to find money
earners and providers, and they be-
lieve that on that basis marriages
last better.
That idea will not be popular in
America. The principal objection
would come from the young people,
who propose to choose their own
mates. Not many of them will ac-
cept a life partner picked by par
ent. They know what they want at
an early age, and they propose to get
it. The results of their choice are
frequently unsatisfactory, but any
way they can't blame anybody else
if they get in bad.
1t won't do these up and coming
youngsters any harm to think about
substantial qualities somewhat
more. The fascinations of sex fade
out, and then the question arises
whether husband is going to blow up
every time the beefsteak is burned,
and the wife is going to let OF
steam when husband stays out too
late nights. Self control. kindness.
and the willingness to make sacri-
fees count very heavily after the
first few years. Ii

Patriotic Enthusiasm

If YOU ask a youth if he does moi
feel enthusiastic about movements
for political reform, better educa-
tion. social welfare, etc., he will
perhaps smile cynically and say 20
veah." Somehow many of our young
people seem to think that this queer
old world is so cranky you can't do
anything about its troubles.
In some countries under dictator
ships, they have made a speciality of
developing youthful enthusiasm.
Propaganda is fed out by the gov
ernment, and the people are told
what they ought to think. The young
folks are told that they have very
wonderful government, that other
countries that do not have the ad-
vantage of such grand institutions
are tagging far behind.
This propaganda is frequently
very misleading, so that the people
have no means of knowing what is
going on in the world. The result is
to stir the enthusiasm of the people.
particularly the young folks, in be-
half of movements initiated by the
governments for national progress.
1t is difficult to initiate those
methods in this country, because
free speech is one of our most essen
tial principles, and people hear such
cynical criticism that enthusiasm is
destroyed. This criticism should
continue because it prevents many
abuses, but we need more move
ments to induce both young and old
to take hold and work with enthu-
siasm for national progress. PeO-
pie need to feel that they have a
grand country, and they have to
work and struggle to keep it in the
forefront of progress.
It takes enthusiasm to make a
great country and keep it going. If
people just say that things can't be
done, they never are done. The en-
thusiastic people gave this country
its freedom, they turned the wilder
ness into beautiful cities and rich
farms. and we need similar enthu-
siasm to meet the needs of these
times.
