THE JOINER
By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK
Dean of Men, University of
Illinois.
A DEAR old lady whom I once knew
used to say In evidence of the fact
that she had not wasted her eighty
years, that she had never belonged to
a club nor been a member of a com
mittee. . _
Hers was, perhaps, an extreme view
to take, and one not likely to be ac
cepted by the Impulsive youth. There
Is no doubt much to be said In favor
?f belonging to something. It may
widen one's acquaintance and develop
Initiative and Increase responsibility,
but be that as It may, very few fellows
who are asked to Join anything can
And It In their hearts to refuse. It
Is a sort of flattery which all fall for.
At this day and age, however, when
clubs are multiplying and lists of pro
spective members are being prepared,
and the nets are being laid to ensnare
the unsophisticated, It Is possibly not
unwise to sound a soft pedal of warn
ing. The man who asks you to join
something Is like a promoter or an in
surance solicitor or a book agent. He
presents the Invitation so skillfully that
It seems like a rare privilege that one
cannot afford to slight, or the oppor
tunlty of a lifetime which one should
not neglect. The prospect is alluring,
but the cost Is sometimes pretty great
One may belong to too many things.
I know a number of men who belong
to so many that they have time for
nothing else. The Joiner often has
no time for his regular work and no
money to pay his regular bills. All
his substance, both temporal and finan
cial, is wasted on his organisations, and
all he has to show Is some unpaid bills
and a collection of curiously designed
pins.
Don't Join anything that you haven't
time to help, and don't join anything
that cannot be of some real service to
you. A good many organisations are
groping around with the hope that they
may ultimately find some real purpose
for existence besides contributing to
l the support of Jewelers, and getting
I their photographs In the newspapers.
I Joining becomes with many fellows a
j fad and an obsession. It overshadows
every other ambition and desire. It
may be good to Join something, but It
Is Imbecility to Join everything.
