DAILY DOZEN ASEY sat on the curb whistling non- chalantly, put on one shoe, removed the other, and then wandered aimlessly down the avenue carrying it in his hand. Without surprise he threw hurried glances at the throng congregating be- hind him. He laughed to himself as he heard their queries. They, like all crowds, were curious, agitated over this seemingly foolish act. At the next three intersections he changed shoes and turned right. At his starting-place he peered uptown to- wards the Majestic Theatre. Again he glanced over his shoulder at the people following closely. Not bad for a noon hour, he mused to himself, and then headed for the theatre, the throng fol- lowing. At the box-oiiice Casey winked at the girl, purchased a ticket, and enter- ed the main lobby. Casey did not wait to view the fea- t.ure attraction that was starting, but made an exit through a side door. Once more outside Casey laughed, glanced at the tower clock, and slipped into a light roadster parked nearby. The Ajax Advertising Agency was doing a thriving business.

THE PILGRIM 25 PRINCIPAIIS COLUMN A BENEVOLENTLY disposed gentle- - man once asked a young man of his acquaintance this question: My dear fellow, to what end are you directing your life? The reply was To both ends, sir. I work in the only first-class hat and shoe store in town. This was a very clever reply, I should say, worthy of Charlie McCarthy. Apparently he was succeeding in going in two direc- tions at the same time as well as John Brewer did when he went over the North Pole on all fours, or rather de- monstrat.ed how it could be done. But this sort of thing obviously has its limitations. When your parents were graduated from high school, it was relatively easy to procure a job. The college graduate was almost sure of one. Very many, probably the majority, accepted the Hrst reasonably attractive position that was offered. Many a star athlete be- came a bond salesman or an insurance agent, relying on his name and fame to bring him success rather than upon any particular desire for the type of work or preparation for it. But when the Social Security Act went into effect a year and a half ago and every em- ployed person was required to have a code number, statistics from New Eng- land showed that only a little over 5'i! of! those who were working belonged to the strictly youth group, that is, those who were between 18 and 24 years of age. Further surveys have revealed that the majority of unemployed per- sons are likewise unemployable because they are unqualified for anything defi- nite or because they lack adaptability. Cameron Beck, director of t.he per- sonnel department of the New York Stock Exchange. gives an account of an interview he had with an applicant for a position. He was one of those self- confident fellows who could do any- thing. Fine, said Mr. Beck, we need an assistant bookkeeper in the account- ing department. Oh, I never studied bookkeeping , said the applicant. Sorry, continued Mr. Beck, but it so happens that the engineer would like to have someone help him with the electrical work here in the building. Gee, I couldn't do that. I don't know aiiything about electricity, was the re- D Y- .Thus the conversation proceeded un- til finally Mr. Beck declared in a tone of undisguised annoyance. Young man, you go out and prepare yourself for something definite before you waste your ow11 or any one else's time. The day of the jack-of-all-trades is over. You must be a king of one trade. When you are ready, you may come back and see me again. Until that time, good day. A friend of mine stated the same truth in another way. When I was a freshman in college, he said, If you are going to get very far, you must learn to do something better than some- body else can do it. And that's the truth. Former President Arthur E. Morgan of Antioch College states that in order to realize the greatest satisfaction in daily living one must have a well- rounded background of knowledge: must experience growth through practi- cal work experienceg must learn self- direction in study and conduct: and must have a devotion to a life purpose. Yes, that is it-a life purpose, worthy of sincere, high-minded devotion, one worth sacrificing for. Its fruition may require a long, patient, sustained effort but the rewards will be well worth t.he cost. So in this day of uncertainty and doubt, let me say for your encourage- ment that t.here are opportunities ahead for those who have the patience and perseverance to prepare for them. Take every advantage offered by libra- ries, radio, developing hobbies, and, above everything else, if possible, by continuing your education in some sort of institution of learning. And remem- ber that it is far better to aim at some- thing and miss it than to aim at noth- ing and hit it. WAYNE M. SHIPMAN, Prz'nc1'paI CLARION CALL Onward! seniors, mighty army! Let no hazards bar the wayg Fix your eyes upon the future, Onward! seniors, march today! As the conquerors, old, to battle Valiant, marched in gallant throng, Let your footsteps follow after- Courage be your battle song! Forward! seniors, on to conquest! Triumph o'er the sin and strife, Ever in your hearts the watchword, Win the Battle! Conquer Life! JEANETTE I-IATTON
