WORKING FOR
PERFECTION
By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK
Dean of Mn. fTntvr.it kf
Illinois.
it
Edna was darning some stockings
u I came through the living room of
her house the oth
er day. I am no con
noisseur of needle
work, but even to
my untrained eye
tt was evident that
the wprk was be
ing crudely done.
The edges of the
hole were being
drawn together
rather than filled
in, and the stitches
were uneven and
irregular. She was
making of the Job,
-
68 my mother used to say, "A short
horse soon curried." She noticed that
I was watching her, and she gave
me a halt-embarrassed, half-ashamed
look.
T know Tm not doing tt well," she
explained, Tm in a hurry and it
tabes time and patience to darn a
hole like that welL Besides what dif
ference does it make; it's Inside my
shoe and It won't show."
"But you'd know about It," 1 sug
gested. But Edna was not longing for
perfection and bo was not likely to
attain It
Albert was a healthy young Hawaii
an, who drove the automobile In
which we rode around Oahu. He waa
married and bad five children, he ex
plained to us, and incidentally was
an enthusiastic supporter of the Mor
mon faith. It was when he wns
showing us the beautiful Mormon
temple at Lale that I discovered this
last fact Only members of the church
are permitted to enter the temple.
"Have you seen the Inside?" I In
quired of Albert
"No," he replied. "1 am not yet
worthy. I am not so good a man as I
should be and not so good as I one
day hope to be. I am working for
perfection, but Just now I um too far
from It to go into the temple."
His wife was a good woman, be
said. She went In, and some day he
hoped he might have the privilege.
Bates Is a young artist with whom
i have been acquainted for a dozen
years. He is a tireless worker and
a rapid one and produces an amaz
ing number of canvasses. His studio
Is littered with them oils and water
colors, and pastels and yet he keeps
on working. Those who know far
nwre about such artistic matters than
I do say that Bates is a genius and
that be will one day be recognized
as one of the leading artists of the
country. But the young man is not
satisfied with what he does. He re
fuses to sell any of the pictures which
'te has so far painted.
'They are not good enough," he"
says. "If I should sell them now, I
am sure that I should one day be sor
ry and ashamed of them. I can do
better, und I do not want to sell any
thing that Is not y best."
He, too, was working for perfec
tion. 1 suppose it Is the only way to
do whether we are darning stockings
or painting pictures, or trying to de
velop a character that Is worth while
or working at any task which en
gages our attention.

Scissor Uld Implement
It was formerly believed that scis
sors were Invented In Venice In the
Sixteenth century, but records show
that implements similar to our modern
scissors were in use very much earlier
than this period. In the remains of
Poinpeii she.irs were found made of
iron and steel, as well as bronze. Scis
sors also were In use In various ori
ental countries from a very early pe
riod. It Is stated that those manufac
tured In Europe were copied from the
Persian. The oriental scissors were
very much ornamentc-d and frequently
in the form of a biri, the blade form
ing the beak.

ATTRACTIVE FARM LIFE
NEEDED FOR CHILDREN
Raleigh, Jan. 4 , Money is not
needed in large amounts to create a
wholesome home atmosphere but
rather more time and thought in
planning. Children should be in
cluded in the family councils and
their help solicited in making the best
of whatever confronts the farm home.
This in a brief is a recommen
dation of the committees on family
living which have been working with
a group of State College extension
specialists during the past months in
helping to develop a more sensible
farm program for the State in 1932.
"That the 'children may not be
turned against farming as a means of
livilihood, we suggest, first that all
food needed on the place be pro

duced at home. Next, we feel that
the home can be made so convenient,
inviting and attractive that the child
ren will feel free to bring their
friends to the home instead of taking
them elsewhere," said the committee
reports. "This year, every member
of the family ought to keep a record
of all that is earned and spent, as
well as how. Every child should
have the full responsibility of some
project such as the care of a calf,
pig, or garden from which he would
receive all the profits "
"The committees also recommended
that wholesome recreation be pro
vided in each home," s-ays Miss Myra
DeHaven Woodruff, specialists in
child care at State College. "Money
worries in the home will often dis
courage the child from seeking an
education. Parents should encourage
the child to think of its future and
to educate and prepare himself for
his work in life. The farmer needs
an education just as much as any
other business man. No child should
be caused to lose its self-respect."
In view of the present economic
conditions in the State and Nation,
Miss Woodruff savs attention to
these matters of child care will be of
great value in the future.
