CHARACTER “RATINGS—iNDUSTRY , Much interest has been excited of late, by the Biperipents: in varlons. achiols, in yearking their Pupils ‘to a large extent upon character achieve- Bent. instead of mostly upon the things they learn- outof books.

Such methods prob- ablf.fidicate some radical changes likely to occur fp_American education during the next few years. go. | Whether or not the schools place special em- phasis on these points of character, they count tre- mendously in business and industry. .The people who go to work in offices, stores, etc., are con- stantly being observed to see how they measure up according to these standards. «fs Take the quality of industry, for instance. It lich ak! the foundation of all success. It is the very basic element in achievement.

Not merely do the industrious people iget a lot of work done, but as the result of their | istesdy persistence, they commonly acquire good | {sudgment, and their experience is very valuable. {They learn how to meet difficulties and overcome | febstacles, and please the people whom they are {trying to serve. The first question asked of the faspirant in the field of business is this, “Are you cwilling te. work?" WHY PEOPLE CAN’T SAVE prea. S People frequently remark, in regard to some contemplated expenditure which at first seems ex- travagant, that they are going to spend the money anyway, so they might as well’spend’it-for\that as for anything else. It will be difficult for, these folks to get ahead. i That attitude is one of the principal reasons why many families ‘can not save a cent. They get it into their heads that the money is’ going to be spent anyway, and so they use it lavishly until it is all gone, when they are forced to economize until the next instalment of pay comes in. When they say in regard to any ~pattic- ular expenditure, the situation is usually, that they could get along without that particular thing, or at least could get the result they desire in a less expensive way. : 4 “People will. never accumulate 2’ comfortable reserve, unless they make. the ‘determination to take advantage of every possible chatice to. save? Some folks, when they learn that a certais. thing is only going to cost them $5 when they, thought it would cost $10, at once proceed-to “blow“in” the balance. They regard it as new money earned. But the trouble with that habit is, that for every time they save a dollar because something costs less than they expected, there will be a num- ber of times when they will. run behind because ‘| things cost more than they anticipated. People should fix in their minds a certain sum of money which they feel able to save each week or month, arid then they, should save it, barring of course unfortunate accidents that inevitably call for unexpected: outlays. “And then if a stroke of good fortune gives them a little more; they should save some part of that. They will find such wind- falls more than offset by the unexpected demands for cash. © ie QUALITY RATHER THAN NUMBERS ce i Péople used: to consider that it was creditable if they came from a big city.. They would register at a hotel with pride if could write New York or Chicago after théirinames. But if they came from Podunk, they might ‘conceal the fact by giv- ing the name of the nearest large place. + Today so many people have moved out from large cities that that sentiment does not exist. Everyone knows that these citjes ;contain a mass of mediocre people, and the opinion’is rather gen- eral that conditions are happier in smaller places. There are multitudes of people in big cities who are accomplishing nothing . except. to go. through the motions of daily work "in’aii indiffer- ent way.

(Havarid Evening News:) Reports that are being made of thé sugar pro- duction in various cotintries are now showing why it is that the Cuban etop is not feally the one that is having the effect of causing the, prices to stay so low. There has been too 1 exaggeration as ito the size of Cuba’s sugar crop, Some esti: mates have gone more than a half, million tons over what the crop is likely to be.) Yet when this fact hasbeen discovered, there*has: been no per- rise in price. On the other hand, with probabilities for a shorter crop in Guba have been considered, the price continues to drop.” Cuba is only a factor in the ‘world’s sugar supply, and in no way controls it. Of course Cuba is an important factor, but should there be any sort of a disaster that would entirely eliminate the year’s production the world would fo along as) usual, and there would not be. any. great distur- bance in supply. If Cuba cuts short its supply, production would | be increaged elsewhere.
