The white people have built up a very complex way
of life characterized by such things as trains, cars, air
planes telephones, etc. Everything moves very rapidly
among the white people. They place a high value on
time. In fact many of the things they have would be
impossible if they did not measure their time carefully,
and make the best possible use of it. This is something
that white children learn early in life. Another thing
they must learn is dependability and responsibility. If
the men who have to do with airplanes and trains were
not dependable and responsible men they would not be
hired in their jobs, because a single mistake can cause
the deatn of many people. Not all white people are re
liable men and women, but those who have the best jobs
are those who are the most reliable, and who have the
greatest sense of responsibility. Men who drink on the
job, do not show up for work, or who do not make the
best possible use of their time, are the men who have the
poorest jobs. This is something to remember if you want
to get ahead in your off-reservation work.
