SIC. 8. That emulation shall be cher.

thoughts and facts in regard to the noble
traits possible, and in illustrating them
by their daily conduct.
Oh! Yes. That's all right. There is
more in that than may appear at first
sight. Our schools need something OF the
kind. Ny idea is that the teacher shall
take up one subject each day apd talk on
It, cay for twenty minutes. Take econo-
nv, for instance. The teacher talks
about it; shows how, by sobriety, pa.

people know just what that means and |
tell YOU we need more Of 1t in our daily
