Happiness and Two Hundred Thousand. By JOHN J. Ml rCiIkLL of Chicago. President t?f the Illinois Trust and Savinds Dank. LTH is n burden. The man of millions is NOT PER- h EC 1 1 IA HAPPY. He cannot bo. lie has too many responsibilities. I maintain that the individual of moderate means, one worth a couple of hundred thousands of dollars, with a business that is netting him something each year, is the person to be envied. Such a man should be happy. He hasn’t too much money nor too little. He has a good income, but not so great that he must worry either about investing it or keeping it secure. If that man is not contented I cam not imagine who would be. We Don’t Want a Nation Of Mental Mollycoddles. By Dr THOMAS S. BAf4ER of tti£ Jacob czU-c Institute.

Too much help is given to him by private ♦caching, annotated text books arid simplified tasks which take from him the responsibility that he ought to hear. Asa result we are in danger of producing a MENTAL MOLLY CODDLE, a type whose intellectual powers are distressingly sickly and stunted. The mental mollycoddle is not an unusual product of this our FORCING PROCESS. WE DO NOT WANT A NATION Or PRiGS NOR OF BOOK WORMS NOR OF PRCFE33ORS —HEAVEN FORBID!—BUT WE CAN MAKE USE OF MORE SCHOLARS AND MORE REAL STUDENTS. The Criminal Rich Make Anarchists. By RICHARD T. CRANE. Chicatfo Manufacturer and Philanthropist. PEOPLE think anarchists are terrible creature?. The people who speak so contemptuously of them, however, often are the PERSONS WHO MAKE ANARCHISTS. I imag ine that conditions today are not unlike thgse which pre ceded the commune and the French revolution. AND YET THESE MEN PUT ON INNOCENT FACES AND SAY: “WHY ARE THERE ANARCHISTS? YE3. I HAVE STOLEN A HUN DRED MILLIONS, BUT I SEE NO CAUSE FOR DISSATISFACTION AND COMPi-AiNT.” Recent events, however, have shown that these possessors of piled up ill gotten wealth who have felt so secure in their possessions have been brought down in burning disgrace, to imprisonment and even suicide. All of these things have resulted because they did not realize the worth of honesty in business. There Is Good In Everything. By E. B. BUTLER, Merchant, of Chicago. I TAKE the position that there is good in everything. lam no scientist, but I have been told that men of vast learning have found good, or God, in all things. I hat is the view one is apt to take of life as one grows older. I believe there is GOOD IN WEALTH IF IT IS PROPERLY USED. I be lieve it is good to give libraries to towns and cities, as does Mr. Car negie. Some people criticise Mr. Carnegie, but it appears to me that it is well he gives as he does. He sets the example; he gets people thinking, talking and discussing, lhat is of value in itself. I notice that such institutions as the art and musical centers have been objected to. I think there is good in them. EACH GIFT THAT LENDS ITSELF TO THE CULTIVATION AND ENLIGHTENMENT OF THE PEOPLE IS A GOOD GIFT. I BELIEVE IN GENEROUS GIVING AND IN APPLAUDING ALL GIVING.
