Little Lights on LIVING * SB By MARIA LEONARD Dean of Women, University of Illinois I 0 Wnttra N«w«pap*r Union. RESPECT FOR LAW ALL creation Is an expression of law, from the suns and stars of the universe to man. Man, the t highest creation, has the least respect for law of any living thing, for ’ nature itself is law abiding. In plant I life the great trees to the smallest I flowers grow by. law, and in the lower animals, we find them guided j through their genera tlonsby lust I net. I Because man tai the. greatest authority of all created beings, be also j has the greatest responsibility. This he has not taken too seriously, for man is erratic. The greatest freedom on earth has the man who Is most law abiding, for freedom is not 11- | cense; It Is law on its highest level. . If man be law abiding spiritually his faith frees him from worry. If j he be law abiding mentally his attitude la one of tolerance. Justice and ' open mindedness. If be be law abiding morally he respects his own body for Its highest creative function, that of life giving—not life squandering. If he be law abiding physically he thinks and acts in positive health ; terms dally, to the point of sacrificing pleasure for health. If youth could learn that freedom Is not license I but the conforming. to law whereby he may climb to steadier heights and | fuller experiences of life, fewer wild flings would cramp his body and soul i with disease and disaster. Self-realization, not self-expression, j the world needs. ? Maude Hoyden said we cannot break a nastiral law. for such laws as that of gravity and of growth cannot be broken. But. con-’ tinues the wise teacher, we can break I ourselves against these laws. Youth ' is taught to respect fire, why? Because familiarity with tire is consequenttal He should be taught to respect law for the same reason. Life is built by law. n«t luck. Parents do wrong to frighten children by threats of the policeman. He is not to be feared but revered, for he protects people who do right Children should be taught to reverence certain fundamentals for right living. : such as “the inflexible honesty" of George Washington. The man who respects these is protected by the | law. stop and go lights are a protective not a prohibitive measure. Children can be trained by parents in creating an attitude of respect for law which will deepen as the years pass and responsibilities grow heavier. Life is built by law, not luck, and freedom comes this way. • * • WHEN WORK IS TOIL AN AMERICAN traveler was walking down a dusty road in France j when he came upon workmen breaking rock. Stopping the first be asked, "My good man, what are you doing F* “Breaking rock," doggedly answered the workman, without looking up. A second workman near by, he plied the same question. "Earning | 33 a day," enme the second response. Approaching a third, he" tried again to gain information. This I time the workman stopped, raising up with difficulty. He placed his band on bls tired back. When his eyes met those of the stranger, a light broke over bls face. Pointing across tbe road to a building in construction, he said proudly. "1 am helping to build that cathedral." We have often beard this story, but 1 am wondering if we have ever thought what made the difference in the spirit of the workmen. Tbe first two men were laboring hard at toil. Life to them was drudgery. No light higher than the rock pile or the pay roll came to their vision. Work becomes toil when tbe lore light for our work grows dim, whether our work be chopping wood or writing verse. I "Enthusiasm la the beet hill climber** i in this old world. It has carried many | sailors through storms Into port, has brought convalescents to health, has I kept la Joie de vlvre In the hearts of many through long lean years of poverty and depression. * What Is It that brings such power? Nothing more nor less than love—the greatest life giving force on tbe planet Just as the love tor a new life takes the mother through travail, so was it love that made the third workman. through the fatigue of breaking rock, see tbe vision of the completed cathedral with Its service to God and man. There Is a spiritual comeback, a buoyancy to work well done. Failure to do one’s best is a depressant Success is something habit When the builder of a fireplace eees for tbe first time the draught pull firmly up tbe chimney—there is spiritual satisfaction that does something to him that even his pay check fails to do. This, 1 say, is the real profit of good work. It brings to one a sense of having achieved. It Is a spirit of success In one’s soul, as it were. A college lad came Into my office one morning with the query, "How much do you think one should love his work to make a success of it?" Immediately I answered. "As well at six at night as at nine o’clock in the morning!" "When we love our work, we do not know that we are workTHsnowoo ee "Sagar Bird" The Titmouse or “Sugar Bird." in an excellent acrobat, and be climbs swings, and daringly clings to the bark and twigs of trees In his search for Insect*.
