PLAINDEALER Ss? taj' ' 1,1 • THE LURE Of PERFECTION • NR LEONARD A. BARRETT r. V $?}$ In a sylvan retreat, a man carved out of rough wood a flower box. The silence of the forest was interrupted by the voice of a duke who had been watching the man work. Said the duke, "Why are you striving to make a common flower box so perfect when it is intended jto hold only dirt?" The man replied, "It would be impossible for me to make it box, thoughfit hold only the soil of the; forest, any less perfect than the Man of Galilee, the Master Workman, would have made it." The,duke replied, "Who are you that you should even mention the name cf the Galilean?" And the man answered, -"I am Michelangelo."'. . In our day, an appeal tor. absolute perfection soiinds absurd. Fixed standards are frankly tabooed by many people. Idealism is considered inconsistent with the demands, of our practical age. It seems too dreamlike and sentimental. Success is measured in this age by tangible results expresses} in terms of statistical tables rather than in the beauty of perfection. The attitude that anything is all right if yon can "get away with it" is unworthy of the progress of human achievement. Such an attitude will involve us in tragic results. A wrong or imperfect calculation cannot make a work final. A slight error in computing the strain to be borne by the girders of a bridge may cause a collapse of the structure. An error in reading the thermometer, if no more than one degree, may bring disastrous results to the patient with high fever. Wrong information on a, hospital chart is a serious matter. A noted writer has formed the habit of writing one play a week and then destroying it when it is completed. By this process of perfection, the writer won a Pulitzer prize. Perfection requires continuous effort. - The lure of perfection demands not only the elimination of all possible mistakes in our creative work twlet Tol d Tal«s SIXTY YEARS AGO Isaac Wentworth has been,making some good and long needed improvements, in front of his residence, by trimming up the hedge which has been an eye scratcher so long in that vicinity.

Perfect work! mans hip in art, music, literature^ and in the material and economic world, becomes a model for us. But we must be sure to realize that a model is but a means to draw out original mastery. Perfection in any line of endeavor calls for infinitely more than mere ifnitation.
