Educating To Dishonesty.

The fathers and mothers of the
country, who are trying to bring up
their children in "the nuture and
admonition of the Lord" or even
those who make no definite religious
profession, might have been rather
unpleasantly surprised if they could
have had the privilege Of listening
to remark with which a teacher
closed lesson the other day, before
large class of fourteen-year-old
pupils. He had been gleefully
showing them how a little crook
ed" bookkeeping could be safely
done with considerable advantage
to their own pockets and with very
little risk Of discovery.
"You see, boys, how easy it is to
be smart in business if you only
keep your eyes peeled and know
what you're about
One Of there boys reported lesson
and the comment gerbatim to his
indignant mother, who at once went
with the story to the chairman of
the committee of the school He
did not share in the indignation
quite the contrary. The story
pleased him highly, and he advised
her mot to make mountains out Of
molehills; it was too silly thing to
make such hue and cry about,
and she couldn't expect, anyhow,
could she, to run the school her
own way?7 No, unhappily she
could not expect that, therefore she
awaited herself of the only liberty
left her--she withdrew her son from
the teachers pernicious influence
There was no other school to whicK
he could be sent, so he(was put a
work in wholesale grocerx store At

good many fathers-would feel the
same way. Are they to make no
protest, to be debarred from any ex-
preston of opinion on such vital
matters? 1t is interesting to specu-
late on the probable result if each
mother, not alone this poor widow,
had withdrawn her son from the
class at the same time and for the
same cause. 1t is hardly likely that
the salary of the teacher would have
been increased two hundred and
fifty dollars, as actually happened
latter.
