CLEAR LOGIC IN
OUR REASONING
_ LITTLE MOMENTS
By Marion Scott
Little moments, how they fly,
Golden-winged, {litting by,
Learing many things for me
Into vast eternity.
Never do they wait to ask
If completed is my task,
Whether gathering grain or weeds,
Doi%}ogd or cvil deeds;
Onwaigt “aste (hey evermore,
Adding all unto their store:
And the little moments keep
Record, if we wake or sleep,
Of our every thought and decd,
Fer us all sometime to read.
Let us then so careful be, "
That they bear for you and me,
On their littlo. noiseless wings i
Only good and pleasant things; |
So the angel, memory |
May not blush for you and me! | 1

AMERICA’S “SECRET OF HIGH
WAGES”
By Kathryn Vinson
The British employers and work--
ers are keenly interested in Ameri
ca’s “Secret of High Wages.” Eizht
members of the enginecring and kin
dred trade unions visited the United
States as guests of the London
“Daily Mail” under the direction of
Sir Percival Philips. What they learn
ed was daily recorded in the col--
umns of the newspapers. The inves
tigations of Bertram Austin and of
W. Francis Lloyd have attracted
the most attention. Their investiga--
tions were puslished in book form
under the. title of the “Secret of
High Wages.” According to the au
thors of this book there are nine
fundamental principles of industrial
managemen{ in the United States.‘
The following is part of Mr. J. L.
Garvin’s summary of them: l
“1 Promotion on the other side
(U. 8.) is by merit. . i
“2. America sticks to the soundli
old principle of smali profits and
quiek returns, and the wealth is‘
made by fine margins of profit on a
turnover immense as well as rapid.
The larger the output the lower the
cost. This book shows how simplifi-]
cations and standardization like Mr.:
Ford’s are pursucd thr_oughot thci
whole sphere of American industry.|
The varieties of clocks, for instancc,f
have begq-rcduccd from 600 to €0 of!
farm implements from 1,092 to 37;;
of paper from 377 to 36, and so,
forth, .{
“3. Rapidily of turn over securcd};
by simplification and cheapening o
processes means, of course that less
capital is needed for a given output. |
“4, Above all, America shows cnd-l
lezs keenness in devising time-saving:!
and trouble-saving applications. The,
optning of output increases the dc-!
mand for goods, and therefore, fo‘;i
their makers. High wages are not the!
secre. of America. Americans prac--i
tice in other respects ecnables thc!
high wage to be paid. i
“3. But there comes in the atti-I
tude of the American employer. Hci
i 3 not hostile to high wages; he doe:
not {ear them; he is sympathetic to?
them. In the U. S. no limit is placed
upon the possible earnings of any
man and there the employees clearly
understand that the raising of wages
forms a deliberate part of the policy
of employers, who themselves make
larger profits on increasing turnover.
“@, Instead of petty superstitions
and chafferings about “trade
seerets,” Americtn manufactrers
even rival firms in the zame industry
cooperate by exchanging idecas. In
this frankness there is the wisdom of
all moral courage.
“7, Our authors give many in
stances of American vigilance and
acuteness in eliminating wastt.
Avoiding waste and conserving time
energy and space, constitute an in
tegral part of American national life
and government policy.
“8, High wages are doubled in
stimulating effect by the simultan
eous welfare movement which sui
rounds the worker with cleanlines:
and light, and seeks in every way to
increase hiz conveniences and Li
satisfaction. “The expense is trivial
but the reward is greatl.”
“9, Research across the Atlantic
is encouraged with magnificient in-.
telligence. American executives
soour the world in order to obtain
‘' Mngtest ability in the fields of re
gearch in which they are interested
most. Even small concerns cooperate
for the same purpose. In this case,
the expense is not trivial, but the
rewards are even greater Jh propor:
La Petite Dispaich
tion, |
‘ America is free from the financial
problems which have proved a men- |
,ace to Europe, If the European cupi-!
talists adopt these methods, which’
have proved so guccessful to Ameri--
can employers, they may help to im-!
prove the financial difficultics or|
' even abolish them altogether.
’ “DON'T CUSS—CALL US!"
By Hoyt Hulsey
The tall shadowy form slipped
down the ravine, paused an instamt,'
' peered cautiously into the little
moon-lit glade and then glided for
ward,
As the dark form crawled snakily
toward the sleepers a long, frin;:ed!
arm was drawn slowly back and thol
curious little moon-beams seemed toi
' flash back in horror from the long,;
naked blade clutched tightly in the
powerful hand.
As the crawling figure reachcd!
the first, sleeper, it paused, hesi-|
} tated an instant and struck. The
leng coppery {form of the Shankecl
} never stirred. |
| As the avenging Nemesis reached}
the second sleeper it paused and
l seemed to gloat an instant over the
[ luckless sleeper. ‘
’ Was it the soft wind sighing Lhru|
the tree-tops or the bright littlei
moonbeams that brought the word!
“Death wind” to the sleeper’s cars}
and caused the Indian to start up in:
; fright? '
The next instant the aboriginel
had passed from the troubled sleep
’ of life into the peaceful sleep of
\ death, |
As the borderman arcse from his|
’ bloody task the third sleeper sprang’
- up, gave one startled yelp and fled
~down the little glen.
The long arm flashed back, sent
\ forward a glittering circie of steel
and the Indian erumpled with the
tomahawk buried in his shaven skull.|
As the silent figure ripped off the|
last bloody scalp, the bushes behind:
him parted and a cruel face, distort-!
ed with malignant joy, peered forth'
at the broad back of the bordcrman.l
A moment later a long bow came|
into view and the death-tipped quiv-{
eriMy arrow was drawn to the head.;
Mon Dien—preeious sainkts-——wrmldf
the unsuspecting victim never turn? |
As the quivering shaft stops :mdl
poises for its deadly leap and the |
muscular red fingers slowly released|
their grip on the fcathered butt, the‘
borderman begins to turn slowly—'
slowly—slowly. !
“Blank the blankety blank!”—l|
curse and foam at the mouth as I!
glare at the following words flash--l
ing across the silver screen: I

| THE VALUE OF ORAL
| COMPOSITION
L By Frances Gower
; Ninety percent of the average per
- son’s composition consists of oral
; composition, Therefore the most
i valuable composition is oral compo
sition. Oral composition aids in de
veloping fluent, correct and refined
’, use of the English language.
. There are many objects in devel
; oping oral composition. The first ob-‘
| ject is toward correct and compre |
| hensive conversation. The next ain"
| is to talk fluently in other words, t: |
‘ express the “contents of one’s mind
l in order,” complete sentences and
| naturally. The next object is to de--
‘ velop correctness in word, tone
| enunciation and pronunciation.
| The oldest thing in education is
! the knowledge communicated by the
! voice or thru oral composition, Even
5 in this day of myriads of books the
; sole relianee of humanity for the
cducation of the young must still be
% oral composition,
~ One of the peculiar traits of oral
composition is that it must be mas
' tered entirely by the individual.
Hearing lectures of course is helpfu!
but individual study is the only way
'to master oral composition, ‘
| The truest most delicate test in--
- lectual culture is the ability to wield
the English language orally with |
fluency and precision, Oral compo--|
sition is one great {actor in the dc-i
velopment of character. By oral com
position, poise, self-expression ure‘
mastered, stage fright is cumplvu-lyl
and permanently overcome, In other
werds through oral composition nnc]
learns to speak clearly, forcefully
and comprehensively under any and
all circumstances, ‘
The truest test of the value of
oral composition is the cnunw!'uJ
tion of its various forms, In no
iwalké of life is oral composition
centirely omitted for whenever
there is conversation aside from the
daily conversation oral composition
is the most valvable aid in master
iny narration, description, exposi--
tion, ‘
Through oral composition one
knocks at all doors, humor gladness |
sadness, pity, exultation, and fear;
he rouses to action or subdes rcbel-}
lious feelings; he softens to kind--
ness where only callousness formor-i
ly existed; he can, in brief, through
people, selection of subject matter,
produce at least for the time being
any cffect that he may deem desira-i
Ble. In other words oral composi
tio can be used effectively at all
times on any, and all subjects, |
