member of the Board for the first

tion devoutly to Toe wished," that
great stress has been placed upon
what is called vocational guidance.
A great deal is being thought l
about this subject now in connec-
tion with service men and partic-
ularly with reference to post war
planning. In the armed service,
there has been a studied effort to
put men in the line of work for
which they are fitted, the hope
being that they will be better
satisfied to work under such con-
ditions. There is a movement on
foot, even now, to direct the choice
of occupation of the men in ser-
vice, when they are ready to re-
turn to civilian life. It is the
opinion of many that our high
schools and colleges might be used
as reception centers, where ex-
perienced vocational guides could
act in cooperation with the United
States Employment SerVice and
thus direct men and women along
the lines of activity for which they
are best suited. It sounds well,
but there is an element of per-
visity in human nature which pre-
vents the best laid plans of mice
and men from working out in the
real order. A good many cen-
turies ago, the Latin poet, Horace,
wrote a satire on this very sub-'
ject, which he addressed to his
patron, Maecenas. He asked why
it is that no man is satisfied with
his own lot. The merchant en-
vies thesailor and the farmer and
lawyer would like to exchange oc-
cupations. However if fate gave
each one the opportunity to
change, he would renege. It of-
ten happens that people are hap-
piest doing what they are the least
qualified to do. In sports, coach-
es have found that an excellent

catcher often wants to be a pitch-
er and a great lineman in football
wants to be a broken field run-
ner. The fact is that happiness in
this world is elusive. Very often
a person must subordinate his
happiness to the good of others.
The vagaries of life often demand
that a person use his ability i]3
ways which do not please him,
but which are best for all others
concerned. Vocational guidance
may be helpful if it is properly
used, but it is a long way from
being a panacea for the ills of the
individual or society.
Frank Leahy, the Notre Dame
coach, is described by his as-
sociates as a perfectionist. His
critics call him other things. At
present he is acclaimed by people
m general as the great mourner,
but he is going to have to move
over, because a greater than he
has been found. According to
Representative Outland of Cali-
fornia, Major General George V.
Strong, chief of the Army intel-
ligence division, should be en-
titled to the most prominent place
on the mourner's bench. If the
General were engaged in football,
his position would be that of a
scout. The scout is supposed to
know both the strength and the
weakness as well as the plays of
the opponents. If the Congress-
man quoted the General correctly,
the strength of the Nazi is greater
now than It was in 1939. Ger.-
many has approximately three
times as many combat divisions in
the field as it had at the beginning
of the war. These divisions are
well trained and superbly equip-
ped. The Luftwaffe is larger and
better now than it was in 1939.
It sounds like Frank Leahy de-
scribing the strength of Wisconsin
or Temple. Japan is also describ-
ed as very potent. In this coun-
try, we are scraping the barrel
for men, while Japan has two mil-
lion men of military age, who
have not yet been called to the
colors. And besides, sbe has near-
ly as many more iu the 17-20 age
range. In the air Japan is strong
and getting stronger. Her planes
and pilots are improving daily.
All in all, if the General's as-
count is correct our troops
shouldn't even show up for the
conflict. We have no more chance
of beating these foes than Notre
Dame has of beating Pittsburgh

I'M SORRY
According to Disraeli, "Apologies only account for the
evil which they cannot alter." And O. W. Holmes gives it as
his opinion: "Apology is only egotism wrong side out ....
Nine times out 10, the first thing a man's companion knows
of his shortcomings is from his apology." We cannot agree
with either evaluation of the apology.
An apology is an acknowledgement intended as a repara-
tion for some improper or injurious or discourteous remark or
act. It also may be an explanation of a word or deed which
was misinterpreted, and from which offense was taken where
none was intended. It is an expression of regret which in-
volves a certain amount of humiliation.
Untold unhappiness is created, wrong feelings are allowed
One subscriber to Our Sunday
Visitor, hailing from Pittsburgh,
was very emphatic that we were
not fair to the gentler sex by be-
rating them in "Shorts-Slacks
Girls." The dear one contends,
"Granted that the modern female
bathing suit does reveal too much
of the wearer, can you tell me
that it is more immodest than the
'),,
,modern male trunks. Then she
proceeds to give a graphic descrip-
tion of what an unholy show men
make of themselves on the bath-
ing beaches. Of course, she gives
her impression from a woman's
viewpoint. She is eminently cor-
rect, and we are sorry for not
i having given the male stalwarts
a combing.
Another one wishes to know
what is wrong with 'Nagging
Wives," when their respective
husbands drive them to drink, and
they do not give the homekeeping
spouse enough of an allowance
to procure a soporific potion.
to develop, hate even can be en-
gendered, because the proud man,
who knows in his heart he is
guilty of a hurt done, cannot bend
his stiff neck and utter the simple
words, 'Tm sorry."
Much evil may, indeed, be al-
tered, and intentional or unin-
tentional wrong may be rghted
by the simply expressed admission
that something' was not properly
understood, or that quick temper
made one inconsiderate or forget-
ful. An apology, instead of be-
traying hidden shortcomings,
frankly concedes that a wrong.has
been done; it nobly does violence
to an egotistical feeling or super-
iority and squelches the false at-
titude of "The king is never mis-
taken."
There are some people who al-
ways are ready to apologize and
beg pardon; but that is as far as
they go. Making amends, or doing
something whereby their sincere
regret is demonstrated, never en-
ters their mind. Their disposi-
tion is nothing but a haughty hy-
pocrisy; their apologies are only a
cruel game of sadistic refinement.
: No one is perfect; we all have
our failings and foibles. People
who have to live and work with
one another, day in and day out,
are bound to forget themselves at
times, and to say or do things or
to reveal a state of mind that will
hurt tbe- feelings of others. Neither
boss, superior nor parent is be-
yond this mortal affliction, unless
he is a seasoned saint. Even
"Homer takes a nod occasionally;"
anyone is liable to slip up and
forget himself. There isn't so
much wrong with this, if the situa-
tion be understood. But, wha is
grievously damaging is the idea,
which higher-ups seem to enter-
tain, that they must never humble
themselves so far as to own up to
happiness and harmony in their
homes with greater solidity, if at
times they can bring themselves to
acknowledge that they were
wrong. Tyrannical insistence
that authori W must be maintained
through the idea that the heads
of any human organization always
are right, and the inferiors must,
therefore, be made to swallow any
injustice, unkind words or per-
emptory orders, can never bring
about a kindly understanding and
mutual appreciation.
What dire consequences can fol-
low in the wake of a stiff-necked
refusal to bow one's head in
apology, was historically demon-
strated in 1915. On May 17, the
large British transatlantic liner,
:he Lusitania, was torpedoed by a
German submarine off the coast
of Ireland. Eleven hundred and
fifty lives were lost, among them
many women and children. One
hundred and fourteen were Amer-
ican citizens. President Wilson
protested to Germany against
this method of submarine warfare,
where the lives of passengers
could not be safeguarded, as re-
quired by international law. Su-
perficially, the Kaiser's regime
pledged correction. But, in the
very beginning of 1917, it was dis-
covered, by the interception of a
letter from the German foreign
secretary to the Reicll's minister
in Mexico, that the Germans, in-
stead of making amends for their
wanton violation of agreements,
were secretly scheming to ally
Mexico with them in war against
the United States. To forestall
this hypocritical treachery, Con-
gress declared war on Germany
on April 6, 1917. And today's
global war may well be consider-
ed a direct result of Germany's
failure to properly apologize for
