k Makes Men_

"Work," as Henry Drummond said on the death of his friend John Ewing,
of Melbourne, "is given man, not only, nor so much, perhaps, because
the world needs it, but because the workmen need it. Men make work;
but work makes men. An office is not merely a place for making money;

machinery only; it is a place for making souls, for filling in the
working virtues of one's life; for turning out honest, modest and
good-natured men."

"Yes," replied the patient yet firm woman. "I had to resign. Nobody
worried about who was going to fix up the sandwiches and salad and
freeze the ice cream, but me. So I decided I was just a born worrier
and was out of my class."

YOUTH

Arthur T. Hadley, president of Yale, said of youth at a tea in New
Haven:

"I find youth modest, almost over-modest. I don't agree with the
accepted idea of youth that is epitomized in the anecdote.

"According to this anecdote, an old man said to a youth:

ZONES

While inspecting examination papers recently, a teacher found various
