Friday, October S, 1926, STICKING-BY THE JOB Ey THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Doan of Men, University of Illinois. /TWJK house hi which I am living was * built more limn twenty-five years ago. and not ba<Jly built either, but as 1 go »roun«l It I can still Anil things that were not quite finished. There is 2 strip of molding la the bathroom that Is only lightly tucked on; a shell ;ia missing from one of the closets; a : ru'il Is only half driven Into the base .board, or something is left just short of finishing. The whistle had • blown for the noon hour, the clock had struck sir, or for some reason or other the workman lu:d been called nway from the Job. and he hail forgotten that any thing had been left incomplctcd. It would have been bettor If ho had stuck by his job until It was finished. 'Til come hack In a few days,*’ the painter win* was painting the front porch, said two years ago, “and touch up the back steps a little. They need u second coat Just nmv I must go over to the Sheldon house. They want to move In." I’vo never seen Idm since, and the paint is wearing very thin on the back steps. The electrician who bung the lantern over our front door broke one of the strips of glass in doing so. lie could easily repair It, ho said; there was plenty of glass like it in ids shop. He’d look .after It next tiny. It has been hanging there fur weeks and the job is not yet done. Jacobs was gone lids summer. lie had not had a real vacation for ton years, so lie took his wife and family and spent three months visiting the home of l:ls ancestors across the ocean, limy hud a wonderful time, but Jacobs says he’s never going away again until lie retires from busluess. “I haven’t any doubt," ho explained to me, “that when I stop they’ll get someone to look after things quite ns we!!, if not better than I do, but so long as I draw the salary, I suppose I’m expected to take the responsibility. As long as you have a Job, U’s batter •to stick to If. It’ll take me three years to correct all the things that were bungled or neglected or done wrong while I was gallivanting about Kurope. As long as a job’s yours, you’d better look after it. I say." The Tun Kappas started out with a fine group of men and with admir able enthusiasm. They had ideals, they showed energy, they did their work admirably: but that was at the beginning, as 1 said. They have been slumping lately;-they are letting go at loose ends; they are not sticking by the job. It takes persistence to stick by a job until it is finished, to see that all the nails arc driven, and the tag etjds tied up. anil the last detail looked after. U’s the way a iimn ought to want to do his work, whether it is a liou.sc he Is building or a life. (0. 1955. Western Newepaper Union.)

LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE Dean of Men, University of Illinois. By THOMAS AP.KLE CLARK DAUfSIIKUTY was always looking into the future,-i»r trying 10 tin so “I wish I knew wlmi was going (0 happen to me next your,” you eotihi hoar him saying when lie was an nouncing his plans for the future. If there was a palmist doing busi ness Fn a side show when Daugherty wont to the circus, ho always paid his dollar to have his hand read, ami he .was most credulous In believing what the fakir told him. If there was ever a clairvoyant nr a spiritualistic seance in the village Daugherty was sure to have a front seat at the open ing night, eager to got, if possible, the advance dope on what was going to happen to him. Doing credulous, as I have said, he wasted a good deal of time In tliinklnj nhont the fortunes which were said tc he coming Isis way. the long Journeys he was going to take, or the dark-eyed' beauties who were destined to cross his path. He made plans for the fit lure based upon wiiat be had boon ad vised by some shrewd fakir was go ing to come to pass, and then lost out because nothing happened. Me grow weary sifter a while of being so often disappointed, and decided that It wa< just ns well, possibly, to let the future mnnnge itself ami to take things when they came. It Is the wise point ol view. It Is just ns well. I think, much a? wo often feel otherwise, that we arc ignorant of what is going to happen to us tomorrow or next month or ten years from. now.. Few of us plan out lives as wo should do if we knew they were to end tomorrow. Wo shall live to eighty or ninety, we tell ourselves, mid there Is plenty of time before us to do tho things that should ho done. Morrow lived a wonderfully happy life. lie was ambitious, he worked hard, lie had begun to accomplish un usual things with the prospect before him of being one of tho most distin guished men in his profession through out the country. Then the end catno; he was dead at thirty-live, hut even In these few years he had done much. Had ho known ten or fifteen years before ho-diod that he should go nt thirty-five, would ho have, accom plished what he did? Would his heart have failed him when he looked for ward to the end? Would lie have losl courage, and have walled stolidly and Inactively for the end? Possibly. We would faint by tho roadside often. If we knew of the sorrow and the misfortune and the sacrifice that await us on the road ahead, hut which, when It comes, we meet with fortitude. Men v/onld he so elated, • perhaps, .ii they could realize years before It comes to them the success and the prosperity that, are to be theirs, that it .would he impossible to live with them, so conceited would they he. No; It is u wise provision of Provl dence that we cautiot look Into tht future. (©, 192 C. Western Jfowspnper Uolot) Varsity | Billiard Parlor I For clean and good recreation Try Billiards H. G. MORRELL f Prop. * GETTING ON WITH PEOPLE By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Dean of Men, University of iiiinoii. A TKJNSON Is having a rather serl mis time Just uow because he cannot get on with his instructor In zoology. Atkinson lives nt some dis tance from tho campus, and lie enjoys both lying in tied in the morning un til the hist minute and then eating his breakfast in n leisurely manner. He has a good -appetite. As a result he not infrequently arrives at the natu ral history building some minutes af ter tho roll is taken and is therefore marked absent. The instructor, who Is - not always punctilious in keeping Ids own engagements, refuses to can cel (lie absence oven when made aware of Atkinson’s tardy arrival, and this procedure irritates the boy. Ho wants to get out of the class; he wants to take up some other sub-, ject; lie thinks the instructor unrea sonable. and lie can't get bn with him. Last year it was the same In mathe matics, and next year there will be some sort of clash in philosophy, for it lias never occurred to Atkinson that lie might adjust his own desires and preferences and idiosynerneies to j suit ids instructor. He might get up i a little earlier In the morning, he might give a little less deliberate at tention to his breakfast, be might hasten ids steps when approaching tiie class room. In fact It would lie quite possible for him to study ills In structors nt the same time ns he is applying himself to his books, and do so, ton, with marked profit to ids final semester grades. The nrt of get ting on with people hasn’t yet ap pealed to Idm. Totter is almost an exact duplicate of his father In physique and in tem perament. ICaeh one Is nrrogant and high-tempered and hard to get on with, ami hell bent to have Ids own way. As a result they are nt logger heads all the time. The boy Is really all right, but when the father Is domi neering the son” is insolent. Whore there might he friendship and sympa thy and companionship, there Is con stant working at cross purposes. The boy hates 10 go home. After an ab sence of two or Miree months he can get on with his father for a day or two, and then tho storm breaks. Neither one seems to have tried to understand the other, to bear wltb the otlier’s foibles, to overlook hls weak nesses, so there is coostnnt wrangling and unhnppincss, where there might lie comfort anil pence and satisfac tion. There Is the old story of the man and Ids wife who wero both.firebrands but who seemed always to get on hap pily willi each other. When asked how under such dangerous circum stances such happy results were at tained tiie man replied: “When she flashes fire, T throw on the water, and vice versa. Wo have agreed that only one of us shall get angry nt a time, so there can never be u quarrel." It Is possible to get on with anyone If we will only study him carefully enough. The devil is said to have his good traits. Success In ail lines, hap piness Itself, depends upon our learn ing to get on with people.
