HONOR
By THOMAS A. CLARK
Dean of Men, University of
Illinois.
There is apparently in the minds of
many people a peculiar significance
to being put upon one’s honor, what-
ever that may mean, and a peculiar
freedom from responsibility when not
upon honor. An act may be recog-
nized as objectionable or even as actu-
ally evil, but many people feel no
compunctions of conscience In com-
mitting it, unless they are upon their
honor. Then they would lose a leg
rather than offend.
I remember not long ago having a
conversation with a young fellow with
reference to certain Immoral things of !
which he had been guilty. He agreed 1
with me ultimately that if the past j
•could be forgotten he would not in the
future again offend. It was not long, ’
however, until I discovered that he bad
broken his agreement.
“Did you not promise me,” I asked, j
"That you would not do this thing j
again?”
■“Why, I believe 1 did,” was his re-j
fdy, “but I did not promise upon my
honor.” |
A few years ago a hoy came to my
office and asked me to lend him thirty-
five dollars. He was playing in hard
Suck, he .was out of work, and if he
could borrow the sum of money for
which he asked, he could get to a dis-
tant city and find a job He would
pay the money back in three months,
he said. I let him have it, and not
hearing from him for a jfear or two,
1 wrote him.
“I was not of age when I borrowed
rtoe money of you,” he finally replied
to my letter, “and so I am under no
legal obligation to pay it.” And he
has never done so. He was not on
his honor, you see.
It is a curious thing this honor. Un-
der certain conditions a man feels I
bound by it. He must be honest and
truthful and upright. He must insist
upon honesty and uprightness in oth-
ers. Then he leaves a room or turns
a corner, and the whole situation
changes. He may lie or practice de-
ceit or even steal, and a few think the
worse of him and he not anything the
worse of himself.
It is a false honor, this I have been
describing. Real honor is based upon
-principle, it- is the outgrowth of char-
acter. It is not influenced by time or
situation or circumstance. It is a part
of a man’s everyday life; it controls
and directs his action wherever he is,
and it needs no oral or written expres-
sion to make it binding.

HOW IT IS DONE
“Suppose,” queried the blurbist of a
bit of new fiction, “you were facing
bankruptcy. How would you tell your
wife about it?’
Well, we should say, as we do
about the first of every month: “Dar-
ling, I am facing bankruptcy.” And
she would say, in the customary pa-
tient tone of voice: “I’m sure I haven’t
been spending much money on the
house.”—Spokane Spokesman-Review.
JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
A Perfect Substitute.
Mrs. Lonebody—My husband is away
* great deal at night, and I want a
parrot for company. Does that one
use rough language?
The Dealer—Lady, with that bird in
the house you’ll never miss your hus-
band.
Vicarious Piety.
Husband (donning golf rig)—Aren’t
you going to church this morning?
Wife—No; I’m not feeling well.
Husband—Then call a messenger
boy and send him. The family must
be represented.
Mrs. Herdit—Do you consider Mrs.
Chatterton strictly truthful in all she
says?
Mrs. "Seddit—Well, does seem im-
possible that anyone could talk so con-
tinuously . as she does while limited
to the exact truth.

In 1917 She Earnsd $720. In 1923
Her Income Was Close to $2,500.00
Mrs. Eva McDonald has been a
public school teacher for mlore than
fifteen years. And, with all these
yars of schooling and experience be
hind her, the winter of 1917—4 3 found
her working under a contract that
called for a monthly pay check of $90
per only eight months out of the
twelve.
That, if you- will rethnember, was the.
i year in which wa-gies paid common and
I skilled labor soared to hights never
before known. jForced to keep up
with high, living costs on her meager
salary, seeing former students of
hers, without experience, earning
move than she could command, Mrs..
McDonald resolved to find a way to
increase her earning power.
She loved teaching work and had
no desire to igfive it uo. Commercial
teaching offered her a way to remain
a teacher and still greatly increase
her income. In 1918, when her school
closed, she took a Commercial Teach
.ers Course. It was in March that
she received her diploma.
Imagine her surprise when the
school emiployimnt department asked
her, the very day of her graduation..
if she would like to work immediate
at $120.00 a month. She accepted
the position offered. Because of her
ability as a shorthand writer and
typist, she earns about $300.00 more
each year, doing spare time “odd
jobs” of reporting, letter writing, and
manuscript work, etc.
What a wonderful dividend her busi
ness education has paid her. And
what a wonderful dividend it can pay
any young man or younlg] woman with
a foresight, energy and ambition.
We have many teachers in atten
dance at our school during each sum
mer. If you are a teacher, or if yo i
irtend to take up teaching work, won’t
you arrange to join them? A few
months’ Training here can make a
life time of difference to you.
