THE GIFTS WE HAVE.
Few are korn into this world
without an inherent gift of
some kind, says the Commer
cial Appeal. Many are more
blessed than others.Artists arc
born, not made. Genius may
slumber in the souls of men
and women without being
awakened, but it usually is
and finds its level.
Considerable discussion has
been indulged in as to the
right of developing certain
natural inclinations. The wise
educator will sensible tell you
to watch your child and see
what his natural inclinations
are. If he is of a mechanical
turn of mind let his later edu
cation be developed along this
line. If he has a penchant for
art, give him a chance to see
what he can do. There is no
question but what the best
work is accomplished when
the heart is in it. A man fit
ted for a professional career,'
by inclination, can never make
a success in a commercial
pursuit.
If nature implanted certain
instincts it is not our mission
to help stunt or kill them.
This is only possible when the
instinct is of a hurtful ten
dency and not directed toward
thebest given moral.ends.
It is our business to dis
criblinate amohg the youthful
insiti and to decide what <
Anes ought to be cultivated
from their primitive ends into
activties which are compatible
with divilization, and what '
ones should be left alone. *
Some instincts which crop out V
now and then, and which
might have been of advantage ,
in some distant day, are not u
the least in touch with our
present day civilization. Cer- i
tainly the instinct of fear is
-ot to be cultivated as fear,
ad the instinct to fight with r
ists and teeth is one that '"
shonlat least be modified.
We all know that the schools D
dt the past with their emphasis
apon formal, passive abstract
mpressions took hold of our
-dueaors and, of course, en
thusiasts went to extremes. z.
In their endeavor to emphasize
he concrte and the physicially m
active expressions, they for- v,
got the value of all apart from "
the rconerte. Our cleverest
and quickest thinkers think v
-n woeed iuages, not predomi- 2

By answering these queries with the needs of the typewriter owner and user in
mind, the L. C. Smith & LPros. Typewriter Company has attained the front rank
in the typewriter field.
Some people think that a tyrperiter is a typewritr and that is all there is to it. Machines may
look alike but there is a lot of dlfference in efficiency.
The new Model Five is built not only for straight correspondence but
for tabulating, billing and in fact for every service needed in the
