If a person is to keen to exercise power, the people resent his domination, and are apt to throw hi::i out at elections. Europe is kept in turrno'l because similar democratic-powers democratic-powers to control rulers do not exist. A man like Hitler Hit-ler would not be tolerated in the United States, but over in Germany people bow down before him. The ordinary person wonders how such a man can get any satisfaction out of life, from the terrific strain that he will constantly undergo. The man who undertakes under-takes to rule nations with a rod of iron is going1 to raise up a host of enemies, who will hit back at hhn if they have a chance. Such a man developes a supreme confidence that makes him feel that his knowledge is far superior to the ordinary run of mankind. So he marches on in proud triumph, and confidence that all knees will bow before him. Many men have tried that game in the history of ' the world. Usually they have found their hopes disappointed disap-pointed and have been humbled in the dust. The wisdom wis-dom of no man goes very far. Any human being makes plenty of mistakes. When the dictator makes too many the common sense of mankind rises against him, and throws absticals in his way. Then failure follows failure, fail-ure, and finally the lust for power ends in ruin and defeat. it. Yet almost any boy will work with feverish energy if he gets a chance to play on a football or baseball team. He never seems to know he is weary then. A boy's willingness to work seems" to depend con-s'derably con-s'derably on whether he can get a regular allowance of money from his parents. If they will, keep a fair amount of change in his pocket, the difficulties of working work-ing appear quite formidable. He needs a certain amount of money, particularly after he begs to step out with the girls, and he will work to get it if necessary. neces-sary. In school there are not probably as many lazy boys as formerly. It has been proved to children that to get anywhere in this world one has to do a good amount of work. When they get through school and look for employment, they know they have to work to hold down a job. which goes to show that the modern boy : can and will work if he wants to and if he Js given an incentive, and the same thing is equally true of the girls. . |
