Quinlan Vol. Ill DECEMBER, 1920 No. 3 Has the World Gone Wrong for You? The election has come and gone, and the issues, whatever they might be, have been answered in an unparalleled fash ion. Thanksgiving Day has passed; many wondered what they had to be thankful for. Christmas, the season of good cheer, is soon here, and then—New Year! A new Administration goes into power with some of the greatest men of the country in the Cabinet and other offices. Grave and important issues, still open, must be met and solved. Possibly no administration has ever gone into office with such grave problems before it. The business of the country is in the throes of great pain of the adjustment to a sound and healthy basis—not that busi ness flushed with the fever of war and profiteer. The workman is in doubt whether the great war really meant any thing for the good of mankind. liet us as true Americans stand fast fas the boys did before the enemy in France) behihd the new national leaders, sup porting every worthy cause, and no matter what the effect to the individual may the watchword be: “It is for America.” During the circus in Charlotte this year, a train passed through the city, and from end to end of one coach, in large chalk-written letters, someone had written: “Are we down-hearted? Hell, No!” If we don’t approve the language, let us live up to such spirit, and we shall be invincible. Signed: Only an American The closing days of the year 1920 do not hold out for us the signs of prosperity which those of 1919 did. Unem ployment throughout the country has been on the increase, and fears for a continuance of this are held by many men qualified to judge conditions. I am therefore constrained to incorporate in my annual Christ mas Greetings a word of warn ing and advice, which it is hoped, if followed, will tend to alleviate to a large extent any condition that would tend to make Christ mas other than a happy one. Save, by denying yourselves the unnecessary things, so that you will have laid aside that which will provide for you in case of necessity, and supplant these pleasures so denied by good wholesome work and study, which you will find gives much more permanent satisfaction. To all I wish a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. —J. E. S. Thorpe The Evils of Gossip Gossip is one of the worst of all evils; and not only is it wrong, but it is dan gerous. Many people lose their reputa tion and are hurt socially and in busi ness, all through the talk of some who probably did not know they were doing any harm in saying what they did. Of course, there are different ways of gossiping, just as there are different ways of doing everything else. Gossip does not necessarily mean saying harm ful things about others through malice. It is natural for everyone to want to tell interesting things, but they should be careful what kind of things they tell. There are enough things to talk about without discussing other people’s affairs. Although at the time you may not think anyone else will hear what you say, or you may not think you are saying any thing harmful, still it is possible that you are mistaken, and harm may come where none was meant. Then, the further things of that sort go the more they grow. When you hear something about someone, whether it is true or not, if you think about it at all or have any imagination, you uncon sciously make it out to be just a littl® larger than it really was. Then, the more it is passed on from one person to another, the larger it grows unt’l as the saying is a mountain is made of a molehill, and perhaps will fall on a person who is entirely innocent. All of which goes to show that safest way, both for yourself and others around you also, is to try to fol' lov/ the old rule, even if it is hard, and never mention anyone if you haven t something good to say about them- —Frances Williams T.
