WE ATHENS UAILV HERALD. rKIDAT EVENING, DECEMBER 26, 1913. Page Flv«, 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&. the Of coarse, you may lose time, prdbsfcjy undergo occasional hard ships, likely as not be out of employment for a season, foot any of these contingencies is a mighty cheap admittance jams without a limit.

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 ?
