Our neighbor, Nicaragua, well advanced in modern intelligence, establishes a military flying school, orders fighting planes from the United States, hires a instructor. There is progress everywhere, and you realize it when you read In chapter 26 of Westermarck's The Origin and Development of the Mo-- I ral Ideas: In ancient Nicaragua women were held unworthy to perform any duty in connection with the temples, and were immolated outside the temple ground of the large sanctuaries, and even their flesh was unclean food for the high priest, who accordingly ate only the flesh of males. What a jump from a civilization in which the high priest would not eat ladies that had been slaughtered to a modern air school in which young Nicaraguan women, once excluded from the temples, will be allowed to fly planes and learn how to release bombs! first-clas- narrow hall of the ancient inn was a strange sight, but the mans were stranger stilL He was talking rapidly to himself and ap-- d to be enraged about something.

By thinking candidly about yourself, by being as friendly to yourself as you would be to another, you can often draw up a picture of your tastes, abilities, desires and hopes which will astonish you. Take an inventory of yourself, paying special attentio to the things you like but which you have little of in your daily life. Then start putting them into it. From Interest to a Specialty Often we have to begin slowly reading, or finding courses of instruction within our means, or working out a program for ourselves in solitude; but every day something can be clone toward the new way of living. It can grow from an interest into a hobby, from a hobby into a side line, from a side line Into a specialty. Then comes the day when the unsatisfactory work can be given up (to someone who will find it as satisfying Bnd as absorbing as we find our own new field) and success is at last really and noticeably on its way to us or we are on our way to it. Vitalizes Character Then living begins to be fun. We meet people with the same tastes, not just the chance acquaintances who come our way in an uncon profession. Having succeeded once, we begin to show a little daring; we try new Ideas more boldly, and our world of friends and activities expands even more. Chances we couldnt even imagine until we got inside our real work turn up on every hand. Best of ail, even a small success has a vitalizing effect on character. That is the most interesting discovery that success brings in its train: those who are living successfully make the best friends. They are free from malice and spitefulness. They are not petty. They are full of good talk and humor.
