Where Is Your Ambition?
By HERBERT KAUFMAN.
Ambition is the expression of personality—evidence of man’s
desire to individualize himself.
Often originating in resentment against authority, it is a
declaration of independence which harnesses pouter to purpose—
translates vagae talents to definite tasks and leads to the selec
tion of congenial and therefore enthusiastically performed labors.
Ability of some sort is latent in every one. All normal, healthy
men are endowed with peculiar qualities which equip them for the
competent pursuit of peculiar vocations. But few endeavor to
place themselves properly and continue to fallow the first occu
pation upon which they chance.
Success is usually a manifestation of forethought and enter
prise, rather than an earnest of natural superiority.
Majorities are habitually conventional and cautious. Tile
average man prefers a known certainty to a possible betterment
—a comparatively guaranteed hving to a greater but a risky
opportunity. He is content, in return for a guaranteed Wage, to
accept the place and adopt the pace determined by the few who
in each community agree to ssume the chances, associated with
direction and proprietorship. Thus it happens that out of every ten
members of society, at letst nine never learn the full potentiahtbee
of their skill and intellect, nor discover how far they might have
progressed under the stimulus of initiative. They tacitly acquiesce
in the limitations of the r allotted positions—interpret efficiency
solely as a sufficiently satisfactory day's work to maintain
their jobs—eliminate the personal equation from their tasks—
occupy a relation to organizations similar to that of cogs in
machinery—become standardized units to be replaced at any
moment and are hired and fired” according to the market
quotations on their commonplace types of service.
Until you dare for yourself you must take whatever share is
delegated to you. As long as you distrust your own judgment
your apparent lack of confidence wS! keep you down among the
hand-to-mouth toilers. Try tor something bigger and better—
you can always drop back to your present bottom-level, the only
risk lies in not attempting to rise. If you do cot seek the top, how
you ever teat your ability? Perhaps you do not belong belo&.

One Saloon That ia UsefuL
In the January American Maga«in<J
Peter Clark MacFarlane tells true
stories of several drunkards who have
succeeded in ridding themselves of the
liquor habit. In the course of his ar
ticle he tells about tho Seif-Master
Colony at Elizabeth, Ntw Jersey,
where a great work is being done—
particularly for men and women ad
dicted to drink. Hie following ex
tract from the article explains the ad
vantage to the colony, of a saloon
across the street:
“Across the road from the Colony
is Riley’s—a typical country saloon.
To the inmates of the Colony, Riley’s
is a sort -of testing machine. If a man
can sit on the Colony well curb and
look at Riley’s indifferently—as if it
were ah undertaker’s shop, for in
stance—he is getting along. If, on
the contrary, at the squeak and pouf
of these swinging doors he wets his
lips and shades his eyes in an en
deavor to catch a glimpse of the forms
at the bar—why, his reform is in no
very prosperous state.
“All of whiflh is in accord with the
Self-Ma3ter idea. Indeed, while poor
weak men are continually taking
things from the Colony, rugs, tables,
blankets, anything at all portable and
negotiable, and exchanging them for
drinks at Riley’s, I do not know that
Mr. Floyd: would like Riley to move
away. The men have to learn to face
the temptation of the roadside saloon
when they go out. It is perhaps well
for them to practice on Riley’s which
thus, all unwittingly, becomes a part
of the Colony teaching apparatus.”
Mrs. Newrich (who has advertised
r a Christmas pianist)—So you are
the music teacher that answered my
advertisement ?
