VIRGINIA TO CELEBRATE _ «During June two significant events in the hi: tory of the United States will be celebrated at Wil- @WSburg, Va., in honor of their 150th anniver- iam ak On June 15, 1776, the Virginia Bill of Rights, written by George Mason, was adopted. On June 29 of the same year the first republican constitu- of Virginia was proclaimed, with Patrick “Henry as governor. ‘ Thus Virginia had declared her freedom from British rule and set up her own government five lays before the Declaration of Independence of d the United Colonies was adopted. ey The Virginia Bill of Rights has been called the Magna Charta of America, for it became the model from which the other states have framed their like declarations. . For some months past 150th anniversaries of memorable dates of the Revolutionary War have been occurring and July 4 will mark a century and a half of American independence. It is well that we should pause occasionally and reflect upon the significance of these historic events and the deeds of those heroic founders of the Republic, to whose wisdom and patriotic devotion we owe so much. WHEN THE BOSS IS AWAY , Many of us get the idea that if we should go on an extended vacation, or otherwise drop out of the daily routine, our business affairs would go to pieces, But that depends upon how well those affairé are organized beforehand. *' It is related of Andrew Carnegie that after one of his new department heads had been in chatge for a year he sent him to Europe for six months. If the department didn’t run better while he was away, the department head was fired upon his return. could not organize a department so that it would function in his absence was not fit to be the head of it. » There is a great deal of practical value in this theany. particularly in the case of large enter- prises. Where the subordinates feel that they must consult the chief concerning every minor detail they fail to develop the ability to make decisions or @ssume responsibility. tion to larger problems, The president of a famous northern hotel was recently complimented by a guest upon the ex- | celient manner in which the place had ‘been con- ducted during the past winter. It developed that the president had just returned after six months | spent in the South. he liad been aw “Everyone » He informed the guest that and added: ms to feel that the house has run’ better without me, and that even the weather was better in previous years.” -ering every .day of Boys’ Week has been worked | Carnegie’s theory was that a man who | | were approached are said to have contrib The chief at the same; timé keeps himself enmeshed in a mass of petty | routine which prevents his giving adequate atten- | | otherwise intelligent people from their money | fortunately, with popular favor will say so. BOYS’ WEEK IN KEY WEST “Mother” has long been claimed and universal- ly conceded to be the prettiest word in thé English language. And it may as truthfully be said that | “boys” and “girls” are two of the most vitally im- | portant monosyllables uttered by the English speak- | ing people of the world today—for thé boys and | girls of today will be the fathers and mothers of | the future, and upon them will devolve the man- | agement of government affairs, the welfare of so- ciety and the great of education” and | Christianity. + Girls are just as important as’ boys, and per- | haps more so, and they too will perhaps be given a | causes week before very long. But it. is the fitting ob- servance of the approaching Boys’ Week that the | whole country is intensely interested . in, at the | present time, for this wisely suggested movement | is sure to result in great good for the generations of the future. | Whatever discredit may be flung at the men | by the so-called “reformers,” it must be acknowl- | edged that the men have succeeded fairly well in | building the country up to what it is today, and | regardless of the increasing claims of feminine | equality and superiority, it is quite safe to predict | that the weighty burdens of the futare will rest upon masculine shoulders as they have done in time past, and it is but proper that they should. So, anything that is done to aid in the’ de- velopment and training of the boys of today will result in visible benefits to our country in the decades of the future. | Boys are the material men are made of, There is not a man living today but who was once a boy, whether he be president, governor, a great states- | man or an influential citizefl. So it well behooves us to take excellent care of the-boy. His training | for life cannot be commenced too. ¢arly nor can | it be continued too long in the proper way.
