superintendent to have satisfactorily

The classes are we'll up in all their
studies, and the work being done is
exceptionally thorough. It is the aim
to have our school classed with the
very best in the State III point of 'sgen-
eral efficiency" as we'll as ''success in
particular subjects.'' r..
The primary schools are getting up
very interesting programs appropri-
ate to the Thanksgiving season.
b Excellent Advice.
When a man habitually speaks
slightingly of any woman, or of women
as a class, he betrays himself in at
tempting toinjure women. It is re-
| lated that at a public dinner recently,
at Whichs+nO women were. present, a
man of this ilk was called upon to re-
+ spon to the toast Woman He
Edwelt almost entirely upon the weak
ness of the sex, claiming that the best
among them were little better than the
worst, the difference being in their
surroundings. At. the conclusion of
his speech, one of the guests rose, and
said: II trust that the gentleman, in
the application of his remarks, refer
red to his mother and sisters, and \ not
to ours.,' This answer turned his
weapon against himself with ven
geance A celebrated author says:
1.-THE criterion of a mans character is
not his creed, moral, intellectual or
religious; it is the degree of respect he
| has for women" An eminent clergy
man pays this noble tribute: II am
more grateful to God for the sense that
came to me through mother and my
sisters of the substantial integrity,
purity and nobility of womanhood than.
for almost anything else in the world.
Such golden memories color the book
of life with the beauty of God. = - -
