Utilize Leisure Time Wisely
Vacation time is now being enjoyed by the hundreds of thousands of school children, college students and teachers. After a strenuous season of hard work, a little period of rest and recuperation is deserved and appreciated by all of them.
Wouldn't it be fine if in all vocations in life, there could be arranged a vacation like that of the school children and teachers, with pay the twelve months?
Too many men and women grind from start to finish of their earthly career and stop only at the final heart-beat.
Sooner or later, in the progress of the world, more leisure time will be available for the average man and woman. What will be done with this spare time? Are we preparing ourselves to enjoy leisure in a healthful and helpful manner?
There are any number of people alive who cling to the suspicion that you can make people better by passing laws which restrain and punish them. This isn't so, even if the laws reduce the acts complained of.
