His brief anti narraw lame was purehased very. very dearly. He died pre- mnaturely. Prabably all af us can recaîl instances ai mer. whose game killeti them. J CK You have read ai human spid- ers - men whose game was ta climb the fronts af tail buildings. I suppose that moat ai these climbers come to an untimely death, through misadventure. Tîns craze for fame - even tha' it be just local fame - takea halti af sa many persans. They hun- ger for adulation. They want ta hear hand-clappings. For plau- dits they wili do silly and danger- ous things. They cannat take a dare." They will climb cliffs. or trees: they will venture into deep waters or rapids; they will at- tempt ta pull immense loada; tbey will do stunts: they will gorge themselves, or drink gallons ai beer - just ta show ta challengers ai them that they can do amaz- ing things; and aIl too frequently death is the sequel ai their f olly. I have used the words "1craze for famne." I do flot wish my readers ta think that I am appas- eti ta one's making extraordinary efforts ta excel. I believe that men aught ta try ta excel. I be- lieve in competition - the striv- ing against competitors ta win prizes. But thia is flot the same as saying that I believe in foalish striving - in atrivings which strain the heart, or which imperil lii e. or whch are matie just for the praises afi olookers. Striving for fame la not the way ta attain fame. Fame lasamething conier- reti by others. It la flot self-con- ferred. Fame is honour won andi deserved. but is not one's objec- tive. Fame seekers do not usually win fame. Fame eludes those who deliberately seek it. To seek f ame la ignoble. The world turns its back ai professed fame-seekers. Famaus scholars. famaus sold- fers, famous stateamen. famous singers, famous authors. f amaus doctars, famous acientlats win their fame without seeking it. If they sought it, the world would not confer fame an them. Those who win fame are animated by ather motives than the desire for nien's applause. They do their utmost andi their best because ai an inner urge ta do andi be their beat. They have high standards. They would flot be satlafied witb 10w performances. The artist in them compels them ta seek per- fection - not ta win othera' praise or praise fram themaselves, but ta satisfy their awn severe judg- ments. The world la debtar ta men wha are driven toward excellence by their own inner passion ta achieve the best and highest. Men who breeti horses andi cattle and sheep and hogs anti dogs in a purpase ta produce perfect animais are ta be greatly praised. Men wha breed wheat and ather grains, and fruiit andi flawers in a purpose ta produce perfection put the whale worid in their debt. Men wha write prose and verse, andi wha re-write many times* what their pen and fancy have put on paper, in a purpase ta make their wark excellent in high degree are praisewarthy. Men and women who paint and sing and act owe it ta themselves. the world and their art to excel. In short, al ai us want all wha laboUr ta do a suPerior job - but nat for fame. We want them ta do their best because they owe us their best. Ançi, in like manner. thase wham we serve want fram us aur best: they want us ta excel. If aur job la mending shaes. or watches. or clothes; if aur job la making shaes or watches or clothes, or anything else; if aur job is entertaining others - then those whom we serve have a right ta expect us ta give yi~em the very beat af which. we are capable. We want preachers and teachers and editars andi singera and painters and growers ai apples andi makers ai mator cars and designers ai hauses ta be auperlatively gooti. The world inclines in favaur ta those wha excel - wha deiitely aim and strive ta be perfect in aIl that they attempt. JC K The worid wants us ta consume aurselves, even ta the point ai death, in aur effort ta be perfect andi ta excel in the tioing af those things whlch are worth the tiaing. But climblng the frants ai build- ings, andi stunting for cheap adu- lation, and trying ta sail the At- lantic in a canoe are nat thinga the warld wants attempteti or tione. Things dane ta shaw off anti ta win hand-clapping fram cheap admirera are not ta be ap- plauieti.
