Long ago Emperson wrote, “A man's task is his life preserver. “ This seems to be remarkably correct in
our modern life. The man without task is like a ship without a ballast and anchor, he is all too often
merely a drifter. Few men seem to have initiative enough to choose a task for themselves if they do
not need to work. When the inevitable disappointments come, as they assuredly will, they are
completely overwhelmed. But the man who has his task has no time for vain regret, he escapes the
disastrous fate which overtakes his less fortunate brother. Work is one of the greatest safety -valves
which was ever invented, and youth especially needs it.
