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.

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.

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.

Nocks wore craned upwards about
oleven o’clock Tuesday morning when
the sound of an aeroplane motor was
heard doing a “hesitation” act. The
engine suddenly stopped and just at
■ the time when the spectators expected

; landing, the motor resumed action,
i This was repeated several times.* The
; spectators, still gazing skyward, were
puzzled.
A telephone call to the UellcLonie

closed the information that the flier
was Lieutenant 1!. G. Bowes ’10?
Since graduation from Penn Stare.
