I Will
I will make this day worth while.
I will drop the past, remembering it is
only a valuable path thru which I have
walked into the Now.
I will take up the work of this day as
a personal pledge to do my best—with
interest and enthusiasm. I will do the
things I have failed to do before. I will
attempt new things that I know now
that I can do. I will go ahead.
I will play the game with a warm
heart and a cool head. I will smile when
I feel like frowning. I will be patient
when I feel tempted to scold. I will
take personal command of myself.
I will be loyal to the concern for
which I toil. I will be faithful to all my
trusts. I will master the smallest detail.
I will boost—not knock. I will do—not
intend. I will get things done.
I will work because I like to. I will
be fair and just, because there is no
other way—to win. I will do right, be
cause it is right. I will drink defeat, if
it comes at times, as good medicine. I
will sweat by courageous effort—deter
mined to succeed at all times.
I will be careful of my time, consid
erate of my health, jealous of my honor.
I will help make this day great for every
one with whom I come in contact. I
will work for the people whom I serve
with all my heart, and with all my mind,
and with all my strength. For in the
glory and success of my concern is hid
den the glory and success of my own self.
I will make this day worth while.—
From “You Can,’’ by George Matthew
Adams.
Camouflage is Really American
Indian Art
That the art of camouflage as now
practised in Europe is an American in
stitution, and originated by the Amer
ican Indians, is the latest suggestion,
according to The Scientific American-,
It is claimed that the Indian children!
were taught to place flowers in their
hair as well as twigs, leaves, and other
bits of foliage, and that they were able
to move along the ground in such *
stealthy manner that they were not dis-i
cernible to the rest of the tribe.
Before a young buck could becoff*
qualified as a warrior he had to mak«'
his approach to the Indian camp, almost i
in the midst of the assembled warriors-1
without being detected. The real origi®!
of paint on the faces, as well as on the
wigwams and horses, was apparently
the desire to make the Indian blend witli
rocks, trees, and dirt, so that he coulii
approach his prey or remain hidden with'
out detection.—The Tech,
The Shifting Workman
The man who shifts from one job
another, never staying on any one j«
long enough to get acquainted with
can never become an efficient workma*''
nor can he hope for promotion th*‘
brings increased pay.
Take a look at your fellows who
getting incomes such as you have hop**^
for. You will find them steadily ■
their jobs, attentive to their work,
anxious to help in increasing productio'"'
Continuous attendance and the
performance of duty are the best coi®'
mendations a man can have.—The
Deal.
