What Will School Children Do Now?
That one generation sows and reaps is a
fairly well established rule of life. It has sometimes
happened that a father and son have governed a
kingdom with honor, but the rule is that the father
builds the kingdom and the son tears it down, and the
next generation has to rebuild. It is often seen about
us that a man builds a fortune ,by close application,
hard work, and rigid economy, only to have it squan
dered and thrown to the four winds by a riotous,
-worthless, lazy, and adulterous family.
It •seems unwise for men to attempt to secure too j
many luxuries for their children, yet that is the ap- I
parent desire of parents.
What will the school children of North Carolina do
during the next four monjjjis? J'lay for exercise and
develop a hatred toward duty and responsibility, or
will they engage in some of the work which they can
learn some of the ways toward business suc
cess?
Thlei of Time Worst of All Thieves
The thief of time is probably the worst of all
thieves. It generally takes a few valuable minutes or
hours from most people every day in life.
It starts with the morning hours and holds its hu
man victims in bed until the train passes, or the mer
chant is t}*i late to the store, or the patient gets
ticker, or the client waits so long that In- "cusses out"
and changes lawyers. The same thief robs lots pf
people as they pass on their way to breakfast and when
once there, they are held too long and lose to their
arch-enemy, the thief of time, several more valuable
minutes.
If it happens to be Sunday, it embraces boys and
girls and men and women, too, and holds them until
too late. And then old time thief will steal a min
ute of time from the fellows going to church-and cause

' them to miss a prayer or two, and the reading of
God's Word, and perhaps a few songs and possibly
miss the opportunity of serving in the contribution;
and it may be that it will cause some fellow to come
in so late that the attention of others will be attract
ed and they, too, lose some of the blessings of wor
ship and service.
This would seem to be enough to satisfy the thief
of time, yet he is not half through his deadly mis
sion, but only getting a ravenous' appetite for a full, j
evening's work, and rushes to his father-d®vil for new
orders to complete the day's program. Then out
for a rampage among the boys and girls, men and
women.
The devil decoys them to improper places and the old
time thief shouts "Not late, not late, plenty of time
for another dance, another drink, another game, an
other ride, another swim," until finally old thief time
has kept uneasy parents from sleep and weakened
the minds, bodies, conscience, spirit, and often char
acter and virtue of its victims.
The thief of time often causes men to engage in
many other types of robbery, as well as causing many„
to lie.
The Life of a Dollar
In order to get a line on the life and adventures of
a dollar bill, the Waukegan, Illinois, chamber of com
merce started out a new bill sometime ago, with a
circular attached, requesting every person handling
the bill to make a notation of its use.
Here is the history for fourteen days, changing
hands for service:
Five times for salary; five times for tobacco; five,
times for cigarettes; three times for candy; twice for
men's furnishings; twice for shaves; once for automo
bile accessories; once for bacon; once for washing
powder; once for garters; once for tooth paste.
The dollar was spent 27 times, but it never got
into church or theatre, and was not used for amuse
ment in fourteen days. It was new when it started
o(it, but when it came back it was soiled, wrinkled and
dejected.— Durham Herald.
There seems to be some rather strange things about
this dollar. Two shaves and no hair cutting sounds a
little strange. Certainly, it must have been in the
hands of men instead of women. In fact, it must
have been a male dollar, from the service it rendered.
It sounds as if it failed to bless woman in any way
unless it might have been in the way of salary, or
perhaps candy, washing powder, tooth paste, or gar
ters, since there is nothing to indicate the kind of
garters.
ft is remarkable that it was of so little table use;
only one time carrying bacon to the hungry. It is
r also rather remarkable that it did not slip into the
-t gas station or sit around the drink stands. The fact
that it did not go for women's wearing apparel is
another evidence that women's clothes are scarce arti
cles. ' • • " .
This dollar made no pretense of religion, which is
perfectly natural and in accord with most of its kin
dred. It is, however, a little strange that it escaped
the ways of immorality.
The fact that 10 of the 27 visits it made went ty the
tobacco and cigarette counter is just about as ex
pected.
We suspect this dollar was more careful of the
company it kept than many dollars are, or other
things would
