A MOMENT
OF HEROISM
An automobile stalled on a railroad grads
crossing in Louisiana the other day. Down
the track came a fast train. The engineer,
Leon Ford, saw the stalled auto and knew
that he would 1 not be able to stop in time. So
he did seme very quick and unselfish think
ing.
Whe a locomotive, traveling at high
speed, has to he stopped in a. hurry.
brakes must not be applied too su ddenly. If
they are. the engine is apt to leave the rai ils
and turn over.
Ford, as a vcttfmn engineer, knew thi* per
feedy. So without hesitation. he jammed
on his brakes. The thing worked just as he
had expected, His locomotive jumped
tracks and careened over on. its side.
was killed. But the motorist escaped alive,
It is probable that almost any
would have dons the same thing,
engineers are members o f that select hand
of men who have led the public to expect
them to be ready to sacrifice their own
to save others. But you won't
just how much credit this bit < f heroism re
fleets on Leon Ford until you try to
out whether you, yourself, would have
that way in his place.
Plrohably most of us WOll Id like tn- tell
ourselves that we would have beevi
heroic. But the chances are that we ar
only kidding cursolves. We would
meant well; we would have taken a grip on
our nerves and done our very best to steel
ourselves for the sacrifice. But- nd here
the point-—by the time we could Save
up our minds it would have been too late.
Ford had to make his decision in the
twinkling of an eye. In fast, he had to
it automatically. It had to come out of him
without the ner.essilv of stopping " to think if
over. He had. in short, to he the kind of
man, right down to the bottom, ti. whom an
action of self-sacrifice was instinctive in n
sudden crisis.
That id the sort of stuff that heroism really
is. It isin t anything that flowers unexpect
edly. without a background. The engineet
who dies to prevent ^ wreck, the fireman
who loses his life in ni blazing building try
ing to get some doerped inmats out. the
policeman who coolly shoots it out with a
gunman and goes down with a bullet in his
heart—these men do not suddenly become
heroes. They were heroes, all the while. The
moment of crisis simply brought it out.
And that, in turn, is why our instinct to
pay high honors to these men is a sound one.
Thh, quick moment of bravery and' selfless
courage—that is nothing, The disciplined
steadfast lift lhat made that moment's brav
ery inevitable—that is everything.

thought it would he great to be a safe blower

And there you are. Because Ohio's prison
was too antiquated and inadequate to segre

left them to loaf day after day in the "idle
house,' it became a sort of university of
crime. This Chicago bomber wiis simply one

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON I
__ -A
1 Recently I saw this motto In a
‘ boy's club. It read: "A clean mind
means a clean heart.
That little rule Is full nf meat
when we come to think of it. for it
means much more than -mere right
living and right thinking
For instance what about the
mind that knows its own weaknesses
laid the misbehavior of the body it
belongs to? We all misbehave—
who lives that Is perfect or even
nrarly perfect?
Things stay in the mind to wor
ry ns. The things that children
do worry them. Is the mind then to
iionder over lt-s faults continually—
or must It remain forever marked?
Is there any way for it to become
clean?
Yes, there Is. absolutely. 1 don’t
know whether the quotation that.
"Honest confession is good for the
soul" comes from the Bible or not.
But that, good book stresses con
fession over and over again and un
doubtedly In our newer Intelligent
Interpretation of things we begin to
see the philosophy of it. ,
Now we get* down to cases What
U the child to- do If we want him
to keep his mind Vclean"? Talk it
over with his mother or father! Not
from any moral or religious motive.
particularly, but because itTS
sary to his happiness, health,
future behavior to get out all the
bad spots iiossible.
I think it is clear. When he has
done something that he knows is
wrong. If he has wilfully disobeyed
, ^ done «onieihfng to hurt some
; U ie else, lied perhaps, destroyed
| something—oh there are so many
things that Impulsive, or tcaiptcd.
or experimental children get into
before they know It!—why then not
try to draw him out and have him
talk to us about it?
It Is a habit easily established in j
little children. I like the child who)
goes to his parent and tells. And j
whose what's child more. I like to,him the and parents tells. j
goes
Right, there we meet up with the
other problems of punishment, I
think this very thing is one of the
most perplexing .things that con.
fronts even the wisest parent.
What is to be done If a child who
deserves punishment coma* and tells
what he has done? Are we to dis
courage his frankness by instating
on retribution? And on the other
hand, aren't wc encouraging future
misconduct by allowing him to go
perpetually scot-free of paying a
penalty unless we do punish him?
If we do the latter thing. Isn’t it
eventually going to change his mo
tlve for telling and won* be feel
that by merely confessing he may
do pretty much as he pleases? |
I believe that the earnest, right- j
minded parent with a sense of fair
ness win be able to adjust, this. For |
a parent can establish such an alti
that tude the of faith child and will trust still In the to child him j

Ing, to bettor control his own con- j
duct. Anyway, we’ve always stress. I j
c( j too greatly the idea of punish
nient In child-training and too lit-1
tie the constructive and Instructive root;;! i
training that gets a the very
and motives behind misbehavior.
I believe the mind that has "come
clean" is a greater foundation for
right character than- the memory
of a strap.
