Students Cannot
Afford To Waste
Time These Days
Good Habits of Hard Work in
School Will Prove Valuable
to Them Later in Life

In these trying days no student can
afford to waste time. If he wishes
really to be patriotic he will discipline
himself to work hard. Good habits of
hard work will prove valuable to him
if and when he is called to the colors
and the chances are that every boy
in high school or college now will be
called for military training by and by
When this world war will have
ended there will be scramble for
jobs as never before. The youths who
are now learning to work hard, bear
responsibility and discipline them
selves in reasonable self-denials will
most likely be the winners then. Nor
can our teen-age girls escape similar
responsibilities.
Of course, some high school and
college students are too serious, work
too hard, deny themselves too much
pleasure and recreation. Yet for one
of such there are probably a hundred
who fritter away their time and ex-
pend their parents money in passing
pleasures and selfish satisfactions.
Self Sacrificing Parents
Many young man is letting or
compelling his parents to sacrifice
unreasonably for him.
Think of the parents who are slav-
ing, worrying and struggling to make
ends meet in order to keep in college
thankless, sometimes worthless, son
or daughter.
There is no pain to parent like
the pain from child's ingratitude.
And yet it is folly for parents to re-
buke the thankless child for his atti-
tude 1t won't foster gratitude in him.
Besides, the rebuke is only self-re-
buke. Who but his parents, or rela-
tives, can cause the child to be I'M
grateful?
Cause of Ungratefulness
Yes, when children are ungrateful
to us, we their parents have made
them SO; not on purpose, of course,
yet we did it none the less. Our self
sacrifice in order to satisfy their
whims trained them to expect US to
continue sacrificing for them and,
moreover, caused them to exact more
and more self-denials from US. Our
very own unselfishness has rendered
them more selfish.
My fellow parents of young chill
dren: Let me entreat you to resolve
right now not to give your growing
child too much nor to make too many
sacrifices for him, if you would not
have him grow selfish and ungrateful
to you.

Solving Parent Problems

Q,-What is a good way to keep
children from drinking tea and cof-
fee?
A.-Don't let them have it in their
earlier years. When at twelve OF four
teen they first taste tea or coffee
without sugar, they probably won't
like it. Many children at fifteen will
tell you they never wanted to drink
tea and coffee, not having had it
under five or six n N

Somewhat Expressive
By Harold HOlifieId
Democracy, Union Style

Here is how democracy works.
A and B and C are one one side
of fence where there is a garden
and D is on the other. D does
not dislike A and B and c parti-
cularly, but A and B feel so down
trodden themselves that they
would like to keep D down as much
as possible. G does not dislike
D quite as much as A and B dislike
D. The side of the fence A and B
and c are on is the better side. So
A and B and c hold an election
to decide whether or not D should
be allowed to cross the fence. c
a liberal minded fellow, is all for
it, but A and B because they are
afraid that if D crosses the fence
they will not have anyone to feel
superior to, vote that D should
not be allowed to cross the fence.
The fact that there is little of the
better things of life to be found
on DIS side (the outside), does not
alter their decision.
So A and B defeat c in keeping
d out. Two is greater than one,
so it seems the majority rules.
But ID Wants in and q doasn,t
mind having him. Therefore, if it
were counted right, it would be
two to two which would be a diff
ferent matter. Then could enter
the factor E which could stand
for Executive Order. E says to
let D in. Now the majority is
the other way, but A and 3 still

Baha'i Teacher Is
World Traveller

Mrs. Helen Bishop, international
Baha's teacher and world traveller,
gave an address entitled "The
Reign OF Law" at Baha's assemb-
ly hall, Room 1922, Arcade Build
ing, at S:15 p. m. last Friday eve
ming, October 31st.
According to its followers, the
organic aim of the Baha's Faith
is the realization of the oneness
of mankind, which has both a spi-
ritual and social significance. The
primary couse of the worlds divi-
sion and strife is lack of spiritual
knowledge and absence of faith in
the one God of all mankind. From
this prevailing cause has come the
resulting strife among nations,
races, classes and creeds, a strife
so widespread and inveterate that
today the very basis of human
existence is threatened. In the Re-
violation of the Bahai Faith, Ba-
ha'u'llah, its Founder, has created
a worldwide and spiritual cause
in which people of goodwill, ire
spective of race, class, and creed
can join in true fellowship, find
themselves raised above the plane
of discord, agitation, and fear, and
be assured that the ideals of peace
and social justice are reinforced
by the divine will.

Armistice Day


Solemnly and reverently we ga
Their together this Armistice Day,
1941 to pay honor to those who
died in the last World War in de-
Tense of the freedom which we all
hold dear.
We mourn those who have gone
but at the same time we recog-
nize that there are worse things
than death. Death is but one more
tomorrow and for those to whom
faith is given, it holds no terror.
We can, and we have, as a peo-
pie, faced death that others might
live. Now we must face life that
all may live-a life changed from
our ambitions, plans, burdened
with hardships and sacrifice, dark
ened perhaps by war and its at
tendant horrors.
To hate war is right. To fear
war is understandable. But to
avoid war by denial of our prin-
ciples because of the hatred and
fear is wrong. We must fight evil
wherever it exists.
A decade and more before the
Civil War, Lowell wrote his Stan
zas on Freedom" which was the
rallying cry against slavery. To-
day it should again be the rally
ing cry for those who are against
the new slavery let loose in the
world.
They are slaves who fear to speak
For the fallen and the weak;
They are slaves who will not
choose
Hatred, scoffing and abuse
Rather than in silence shrink
From the truth they needs must
think;
They are slaves who dare not be
In the right with two or three"
The freedom that is ours must
be paid for by each and every one
of US. Incomplete though our de-
mocracy may be, it offers more to
each succeeding generation than
any other form of government ever
has bestowed. What its future is
depends on the individuals who
comprise it. Its preservation may
cost us much-but we know that
he who faces death brayely for
another, finds life eternal.
