THE LIFE THAT COUNTS The life that counts must toil and fight; Must hate the wrong and love the right; Must stand for truth, by day, by night— This is the life that counts. The life that counts must hopeful be; In darkest night make melody; Must wait the dawn on bended knee— This is the life that counts. The life that counts must aim to rise Above the earth to sunlit skies; Must fix its gaze on paradise— This is the life that counts. The life that counts must helpful be; The cares and needs of others see; Must seek the slaves of sin to free— This is the life that counts. The life that counts is linked with God; And turns not from the cross—the rod; But walks with joy where Jesus trod— This is the life that counts. —Selected. “We cannot tell as yet whether it will aid in clearing court dockets or merely gain them but so far it has given good results.” Doran said the Prohibition Bureau is em ploying 350 additional agents and investigators immediately to aid in the general spring clean up of liquor law violators. Money for the extra help was appropriated by Congress. With the additional officers the bureau will have about 3,000 field agents and sleuths. -o TEACHING I do not know that I could make entirely clear to an outsider the pleasure I have in teach ing. I had rather earn my living by teaching than in any other way. In my mind, teaching is not merely a life work, a profession, an occu pation, a struggle; it is a passion. I love to teach. I love to teach as a painter loves to paint, as a musician loves to play, as a singer loves to sing, as a strong man rejoices to run a race. Teaching is an art—an art so great and difficult to master that a man or woman can spend a long life at it without realizing much more than his limitations and mistakes, and his distance from the ideal. But the main aim of my happy days has been to become a good teacher, just as every architect wishes to be a good architect and every professional poet strives toward perfection.— William Lyon Phelps.
