DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK
REDERICK D. UNDERWOOD. President of the Erie
Railroad company, says: that there is a maxim to
the effect that everyone should “pull his weight in the
boat.” Whoever fails puts greater burden on the other
for, “willy-nilly,” everyone is pulling and being pulled.
The question is: Are we pulling a fair share? It not, why
not? Are we willing to pull or are we expecting others to
labor harder at the oar that we may labor less? Is the
axiom that everyone should pull his weight possible in
the operations of the world?
That the remedy for our troubles is within reach, but |
so far has not been reached. They would be over won
the so-called Golden Rule in universal operation. It is so j
simple and so obviously would bring relief that its gen
eral acceptance is well worth pulling for.
My opinion is that the point of beginning is in kinder-1
gartens, schools and all institutions of learning. Somei
children are taught nothing at home. Some little morel
than that. When the Golden Rule is introduced as a fun
damental feature into all educational institutions, it will
be helpful. Family discipline and churches cannot be de
pended upon. Other needs in the home supplant the fun
damentals. The churches work one short day in seven
and many people are not church goers; but, in our uni
versal school law, which enforces the attendance of
every child, is the logical starting point for the plan.
Catch them young. Drill them all alike. When one thinks
. what could be accomplished in this respect in a com
paratively few years, it is impressive. Impress the child
ren the wisdom of logical thinking, the unwisdom of
emotional surmises, the difference between impulses and
facts ,and that eloguence is not always correct.—Copy
