POISE
By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK
Dean of Men, Univereity of
Illinois.
* P H E man who sold me my ticket at
•* the Grand Central station was
wrlnkleless and plucid In his apiiear-
anee. He came Into the office Just us
I arrived, and relieved the clerk who
had previously been there. lie re
moved his coat deliberately and
hung it up without haste or agitation,
straightening the collar and smoothing
out the wrinkles in the sleeves. lie
adjusted his tie carefully and brushed
back his hair, speaking to a fellow
clerk in the meantime, all the while
oblivious of the gathering line behind
me.
When he was ready to wait on me
he went at the Job without haste or
agitation. He confirmed my reservn-
tlon calmly; he made out my ticket
slowly; he consulted ull sorts of tallies
and guides with u deliberation thut
revealed the fact that he was not In
fluenced by the pussuge of time. He
was unmoved by the Irrltntlon of the
woman behind me who wanted to
catch the six fifteen train.
When he finally hud everything
looked up unri written in and pasted
together and calculated und the ticket
slipped into its outer clothing, twenty
minutes had passed. The man had
poise; he had self-control; he knew
that the line behind me would keep
up all day and all night and he was
not going to allow u little tiling like
that to worry him. If the wotnun did
aot
the six fifteen train there was
toother going inter.
And tills stute of mind explained
why his cheeks were so round and his
brow so unfurrowed anil his actions so
calmly deliberate. He could go on
doing ills work for ninety yeurs with
out a nervous quiver; he would al
ways seem uninfluenced by the rush
ing crowds constantly going by him.
I am not sure that he was not over
doing this self-control a little, but most
of us could take a lesson from him
We worry too much. We rush Into
things headlong and do them bndly.
We lose our heads in a crowd or I d
stress of one sort or another or In
meeting the unexpected because we
do not center our attention upon the
main business Ih hand. We are throwD
off our balance by little things; we
have no poise.

Incidental Factors
Other factors, not our own, are
contributing to our future possibil
itles. The growth of the Pacific
Northwest Is being promoted by
tremendous forces. Lumbering hat
assumed enormous proportions. Ori
ental trade Is developing. Coast
manufacturing is growing. Western
Itles are increasing In wealth and
population
by leaps and bounds.
Hydro electrical development is
eratlng “ white coal" and command
ing attention of the government and
big eastern capitalists. Its scope Is
unlimited. Three big railroad lines
and chambers of commerce of the
'urge citleg of the coast are spend
ing several millions of dollars In r.d-
'ertiHlng the Pacific
Northwest
hroughout t i e east. This month
they w ill reach 21,000,000 poople
hrough magazines and newspapers
east of the Rockies. In addition to
this Frank Branch Riley has Just
seen sent to the middle west and
U lan tlc seaboard to deliver 300 lec-
ures with stereoptlcon views on
farm life and the scenic splendor
af Oregon. Dining cars w ill feature
Northwest products and movies and
<how windows In large cities will
llsplay Northwest resources. Trans-
ontlnental highways, years In the
u'.lding, are now open and widely
advertised, through highway asso-
latlons, and thousand,, of tourists
will this year pass through our pro-
•ect.
These accounts read like stories
af old but they are- absolutely true,
iglit now, and they cannot help but
■ontrlbute to our welfare. W ithout
’ouht the Paclfla Northwest, and
hat's us, w ill-henceforth rival Los
\n geleH and California In the pub
ic eye. Three-fourths of the elec
•rlc power In the United States Is
aerc or which rto small part lk our
•wn Umatilla Rapids. The big tlm-
’er of the nation Is In Oregon, Wash-
neton and Idaho, all around us.
’atlflc ports and Oriental trade will

■hcsles are being made as to which
ity w ill rival New York on the
•estern shores of commerce. All
