OUR CURIOSITY |
i
HERE are two kinds of curiosity, |
morbid and intelligent. |
The one Is useless—even harmful,
The other Is the driving force that is |
behind wll science und all progress.
A man gets out of an autowobile in |
a busy street to pump up a tire. A |
hundred peoplé gather round to watch |
him. The same people will stand |
around a man who has fallen and in- |
Jured himself, gaping at him, and in-
terfering with those who want to ald |
him, They gain nothing by heing there.
They have seen hundreds of tires
pumped up—scores of men fall down. |
Their curiosity only breeds rudeness |
and idleness,
Intelligent curiosity is horn In the |
human being. It prompts the baby to |
puil his rattle to pieces, and later on |
to punch a hole In his drum to see |
what is inside that makes the noise.
It finds its fullest development in the |
painful investigations of the scientist, |
seeking to solve the riddle of the uni |
verse
Finding out how things work is al- |
most all of useful knowledge,
The man who is indifferent to his |
surroundings is not going very far on
his journey In this world.
te needs curlosity, It Is Important
that be should gratify it. He ought |
to be curious about the growth of the |
tree, the manner in which buildings |
are put up, or battleships are put to-
Has Anyone Laughed
At You |
Recause—
You write illegibly?
When they laugh here they
have something to Inugh and

Mavbe you have a reason that

this is so the laughter is eruel
But if you are just eareless, you
cause a lot of ‘ime to be

and thelr laughter Is the kindest
thing they could do for you.
Take stock and see what's the
trouble with your writing. May-
be you haven't a comforting pen

paper to make writing a Joy.
Maybe, too, you are in too much
sf a hurry to think of others.
Don't “oat over your genins

is long out of date.
YOUR GET-AWAY HERE:
is to try a little each time you
write to make your writing
more of a pleasure to yourself
and then less of an agony to
your friends. Failing that, a

Something to
Think About
By F. 4. WALKER
the ;
0 OTHER prompting within i
human breast is quite so mis |
chievous or tantalizing to the tran-
quility of the mind as the sordid covet-
ing of things beyond our reach and
means,
Its effect Is seldom productive of
satisfactory pleasure.
And no other motion
is so unpro-
gether—the movements of the stars
In thelr courses.
He ought to cherish an abiding thirst
for knowledge-—kuowlelige nbout ev-
cation whether or not he ever sees
His
curiosity, rightly directed, will force
him to know things—and knowing
things is education.
The child who asks countless ques-
tions should be encouraged,
over his curiosity should be employed
as nn means of educating him. It
be fed, and developed, and
And presently it will send him out
into the world determined to find out
When he reaches
that stage his parents and teachers
can stop worrying about him,
He will get along.
