Babcock? HEDNA MINGUS. THERE is a certain amount of joy in working. There is more than joye-there is pure inspiration in working with students who are ever willing and eager to co-operate with you on every occasion. The very best wish I could and do have for the Normal students is that in their teaching they may have as loyal a student body to work with as we have here at Oregon Normal School. -VIRGINIA HALES. hm fb. D URING the years in which it has been my pleasure to observe human nature I have been led to quite agree with that bit of wisdom which divides the workers of the world into two great groups: Those who receive in their pay envelopes at the end of the month, gold and satisfaction, and those who receive only gold. The first group is characterized by a spirit of loyalty, optimism, and sincerity which can but bring advancement for them in, their chosen lines of work. The second group, on the other hand, virtually says, iiPay me in gold; I am tired of work; I shall do only that which will bring money. I no longer care for the success and continued satisfac- tion which the first few months of successful experience has brought to me. I want to play. Dissatisfaction, criticism of things in general, and of those in authorty, unhappiness and misery characterize this group. Why are they unhappy? Why do they lose the le- spect of those with whom they associate whose conception of life demands that they themselves live up to their highest possibilities? It is because they are no longer on the payroll of satisfaction, and this very point marks the place where they begin to slip back into the zone where they cease to achieve and so become commonplace. It is both right and proper that every worker should re- ceive his pay in these two kinds of coin. But When we come down to old. age and sit by our iiresides painting all the beau- tiful golden hues of autumn with the brush of imagination, time will have proven to each one of us that of the two kinds of coin in which we are all paid, satisfaction is better than gold.
