THE ART OF GETTING ALONG Sooner or later, a man, if he is wise, discovers that life is a mixture of good days and bad, victory and defeat, give and take. He learns that it doesn’t pay to be a sensitive soul; that he should let some things go over his head like water off a duck’s back. He learns that he who loses his temper loses out. He learns that all men have burnt toast for breakfast now and then, and that he shouldn't take the other fellow's grouch too seriously. He learns that carrying a chip on his shoulder is the easiest way to get into a fight. He learns that the quickest way to become unpopular is to carry tales and gossip about others. He learns that buck-passing always turns out to be a boomer- ang, and that it never pays. He comes to realize that the business could run along perfectly well without him. He learns that it doesn't matter so much who gets the credit so long as the business shows a profit. He learns that even the janitor is human and that it doesn't do any harm to smile and say Good Morning even if it is raining. He learns that most of the other fellows are as ambitious as he is that they have brains that are as good or better, and that hard work is the secret of success. L. W. Heftie Superintendent of Baker Schools Are you going forward or are you drifting? You know, of course, that you can't get anywhere unless you are going some place. I urge you to set a goal, go forward in every way possible in that direction and give thanks daily that you have the right to decide where and when you want to work--for whom, and for how much. All of us should be more thankful that we don't have a government-run union telling us, You be a clerk, you, a machinist, you, a factory worker . . . telling us how long and for how much to work, without even the right to protest. Let us keep it this way! I know of no better way to strengthen our democratic roots than for each and every one of us to make the most of our educational advantages. L.
