It seems that from the Middle Ages there was handed down and idea that man could be made on formula, just as we manufacture soap, cheese and breakfast foods. When the average boy completes high school or state college and takes a position with a business concern, he has no knowledge of what he is supposed to do and has no cencep- tion of the responsibilities with which he is to be associated. This, of course, under existing conditions is to be expected and, perhaps, it not PPVOPOVPPIPDOIPIODPIPDIDPIPDIDOTVOODPPIIOPOIOPOOO SO tions which, if used, can be turned to gold. “I don’t have the time” has been used religiously by everyone ex- cept real business men—men who are busy whether at inventing, thinking, writing or traveling—Dby everyone, in fact, who has started nowhere and ar- rived.~ Next in line of the Royal House og Excuses to “I don’t have the time” is “I have never had a chance.” In there once liver a man who had “nev- er had a ¢hance” in life. This man sat on store porches and-the-village ichurch fence explaining this to the village folk for thirty years—and there 'is''considerable question as to whether he ever actually got the thing thoroughly explained. The fact is, not one of us is mak- ing the most of his opportunities. No man is {nvesting his time in the | best possible way. But if ‘you have ever said “I don’t have the time” and ‘I have never had a chance,” just re- member that life is too short, that your purpose in life is too great to place this flimsy excuse in your mouth to steal away your brains and character.

This leads.us to comment on the “HABIT OF MAKING EXCUSES.” Making excuses is a habit just as ci- garettes are a habit.
