It is impossible to overempha- size the harm done by the belief that certain periods of life are merely preparatory. No matter how bad you may say the habit of thus preparing is you cannot pos- sibly be too strong in your de- _ nunciation. If you assert that this habit of putting a premium on the future and a discount on the present has wrecked the lives of thousands of people, you will be keeping well within the facts. Why this wild exaggeration? the critic will ask. It is not wild exaggeration; it is simply the plain unvarnished truth. Take, for example, the belief more current some years ago than now, that this life on earth was merely a preparation for a worthier life beyond the grave. What was the effect of that be- lief on the lives of men, women, and children? The body was - mortified that the soul might be + purified and made fit for the next © world. Dirt and' disease were . neglected in favor of "soul-sav- ing" activities. Consider another form of this preparation idea. Consider the bad effects of regarding the high school and academy as prep. schools. The real life came after this preparatory period in college or at work. In any case the four years of prep. work were regard- ed as not good for much in them- selves. The sooner over, the better. The evil consequences of this bad belief were many. Let us consider only a few. You were one of those high school boys. How did you feel? What was the effect on you? You longed for vacations. You wouldn't have cared much if the old school had burned down. You left school before you graduated. You went to work, real work! You had grown sick of prepar- ing for that far-off, hazy, intangi- ble future. Don't prepare! Do to-day's work with intelligence and en- thusiasm! A good to-day will be followed by a good to-morrow! THE PETERBORO COLONY Did you hear Mrs. Edward MacDowell, on a recent Monday evening, tell about the unique colony at Peterboro, New Hamp- shire? Her husband was the late eminent pianist and composer, and it is in his memory that his wife is carrying on the great work at Peterboro. What is this "great work?"

SANTI 905 Linden Ave. Hubbard Woods When It is the supplying of a place where the creative artist--paint- er, composer, or whatever he may be--may, during the sum- mer months, at least, pursue his work unhampered by external distractions. Sitting alone in his little cottage far from others he can concentrate on his ideals and produce what may be a master- piece. Do we not all recoganize the great value of undisturbed con- centration on our plans? Can you do your best work in the midst of clamor and confusion, physical or mental? And if you are of highly sensitive nature, as so many artists are, you will ap- preciate the tremendous import- ance of what Mrs. MacDowell is doing at Peterboro. HOME TALENT Are we not justified in being proud--just a little--of the suc- cesses of our children? May we not praise them when they suc- ceed? They are OUR children, and their achievements are in a measure also ours. For the same reasons, though) perhaps not quite to the same de- gree, we are interested in the growth of our fellow townspeo- ple, especially the younger gen- eration. When our neighbor's daughter makes an especially creditable appearance in a public concert we feel rather proud. When she plays or sings remark- ably well some of her glory is reflected upon us. If, in dramatic performance, one of the sons or daughters of our village acts un- usually well we are thereby made happy. Now you'll know why we are so interested in the acting of Miss Katherine Crush of Wil- mette. GOLDEN RULE SUNDAY "On December 2 go without your big Sunday dinner. In its place eat a simple meal of soup, bread and rice. Send us the dif- ference between what this Golden Rule Meals costs you and what] would have been the cost of your average dinner." - The above request i§-sent out by the Near East Relief com- mittee as a simple, practical way of observing the Golden Rule and at the same time, helping the refugee orphans in the Near East. In the following letter, Presi- dent Coolidge urges the obser- vance of this Golden Rule Sun- day: "I feel sure that this sug- gestion will meet with very wide- spread approval and will bring more closely to mind the charit- able requirements of those who are in adversity. It suggests not only a practical method for help, but the highest expression of sympathy by sharing for a time the privations of others." !
