Up-Struggle FTER ALL, the thing that is going to save us is up-struggle on the part of everybody—not uplift on the part of a_ self- appointed few. Uplift, as it is now practiced, has very little to commend it to serious consider- ation. It sat fies only those who administer it. Those whom it is supposed to ele- vate regard it as a something-for-nothing proposition and accordingly use it for selfish ends. Up-struggle, however, has many of the saving characteristics of the old time evolution stood us on our hind feet and made men and women of some of us. It is neither overly pious, overly organ- ized nor self-righteous. Often it does not know where it is going, and more often it does not seem to care. Narrow-minded mortals are strangely backward about as- suming the responsibility for the administration of up-struggle. It has no entangling alliances with ethics, associated charities or The up-struggle game is easy to learn and pleasing to play if you have been accustomed to attend- ing to your own business. Other- wise you will probably feel more at home with the uplifters. Ideas DEAS are intangible things which are floating through the air waiting to be grabbed by some prehensile intellect. That mind is most interesting which has the greatest affinity for ideas—that is, good ideas. Some ideas are good and some are bad. The other fellow seems to possess those which are risibly absurd, while our own ideas are things of astounding brilliance. Some ideas have a cash value, but those some- how always seem to belong to the other fellow also. Many people have an idea that they have an idea, when in reality it is merely the reproduction of an idea. Ideas are bound to come to us all at some time—especially other people's ideas. The man who cleverly conceals the source of his ideas is said to be origi- nal. He who secs the possibilities of other people’s ideas is a budding genius. He who develops other people’s ideas and passes them off as his own is an intellectual prodigy. Gladys—You know, mamma, you shouldn't read that book ! Maemma—But you had it reading it.
