The chairman of the board evidently realized that such offer was made not to seek praise for the person making it or for the bhoard, but rather to insure the carrying out of plans that would benefit the people of the city. & The incident is cited as an example of the spirit that moves some of our boards to glve time, if not cash, to unselfish consideration of the affairs that come within their jurisdiction. This offer, here is usual; but it is not unusual to find members of boards and commissions glving their time in a way that in reality costs them money indirectly— time that they would otherwise give to their own business to their own per- sonal advantage. The point is here raised to empha- gize not only the manner in'which the pa;k board is acting with nothing in view but greater benefits fo all the people of the city, those at the south end and those living to the north, but alsosto show that there is appreciation of the good work of city commission- ers whose tasks are often thankless. An intensifying of this spirit would not fail to receive greater expressions ot appreciation. 1 | people of referred to, un- A MUNICIPAL “PAWNSHOP.” ‘ Paris has a municipal pawnshop, ofganized under government statutes| to loan money on any and all valuable articles of some monetary value. Well, it patronizing the “municipal pawnshop’” would become “quite proper”- in this country might _gee long lines of people waiting to be attended to. The stigma attached to one’s reputation which would come ffony patronizing a pawnshop keeps many away, quite probably. And it is a known fact that'a distressing period when the bread earner was out of work, or some unexpected calamity, such as sickness, required unn.«uali expense. Many a pathetic tale might | be written about the pawnshop, and the person who loans the money at big interest is not always the hard- hearted business man our lawmakers would have him. Many a charitable act has been done by these men who take, at times, articles hardly worth storing away because of the evident need of the person applying for a loan. There is no brief here held for the | pawnbroker, nor for thé man or in- stitution which or who charges ex- orbitant interest. Of course a man should order his life that he will have money on hand always to meet em- ergencies, say the persons who de-| nounce lending of all kinds.

A special dispatch from Springfield to this newspaper says that “boys and girls from New Britain, Conn., carried off the lion's share of the prizes for Junior Achievement work at the East- ern States lxposition.”” There were successes in millinery work and house- hold linems, by the girls; in wood- work for the boys; the girls came to the front in sewing decorations. Every New Britain young person who com- peted won a prize. The New Britain Girl Scouts’ Drum Corps hade a hit at the exposition and one very young lady won a prize for individual fifing while another stood out in the other -musical department of the or- ganization. New Britain's fine show- ing was so good that the Springfield press mentioned the fine quality of qur children's work. It is all worth while—very much worth while, The individual victories are important and the team work is important, but the most important thing of all is the fact that children of this city, competing against others from other localities, showed skill and care in what they did. The tangible prizes are cherished, but the which those trophy of excellence in work for prizes stand is the real victory. There are many pleasures in life; there is a great deal of fun in liv- ing. Usually it takes a long time to find out just what gives the greatest pleasure, just what briggs the great- est satisfaction. Very early in girl- hood the pretty Woll has its inning. Then comes the time when true sat- istaction comes the little “mother” learns to make dresses for the doll. There is something tangible. Later in life there are other dools, not in tangible form that the child may but the bare possession of pleasure. comes because touch, which gives Then | the satisfaction received by develop- ment, achievement—use of those tal- ents which, at first, given pe sonal satisfaction only. And there comes the realization that the have finally greatest happiness of all comes with real nccomplishment, 1 small things and in great. This is satisfying hap- piness that gives the peace and joy for which we are all working. 1OST VALUABLE” MAN.

Miss Sheila Kaye-Smith's new novel is without question the most vital book that she has written. It is the work of a literary artist who is also a woman of deep convictions evident- Iy founded on acute personal evidence. ‘The End of the House of Alard’ is not a tract. It is not even a thesis uovel, It is a fine, well-balanced story that is, as all fiction of the first order must be, a commentary of life seen clearly by the author from a definite point of view. The theme of the story is found in Mr. Chesterton's lines: ‘We only know that the last sad squires ride slowly towards the sea, and a new people takes the land.’ John O'London’'s Weekly. . LOST LADY, by Vz’lll; Cather. What is it about the writing of Willa Cather that makes the reading of her books pure delight, that com- mands admiration and interest even though the-turn of the plot may not always be to our liking? Is it not her deep sincerity, her honesty, her sim- plicity? She has lived and worked with her characters for a long time, perhaps for years, as was the case with “One of Ours.” They grow and develop as if from long companion- ship with her, their friend. The proof of this living quality is in the fact that they dwell in the memory as dis- tinct personalities long after putting down her book. Miss Cather has a clear vision and an intense sense of beauty, Every page bears witness to this and one turns each with regret tor what is past and cagerness for what’lies ahead.
