Don't Snub.

Don't snub boy because of physical
disability. Milton was blind and also
was deaf
Don't snub a boy because he chooses
a humble trade. The author of Pill
grim's Progress" was tinker.
Don't snub boy because he shutters.
Demosthenes, the greatest orator OF
Greece, overcame harsh and stammer-
ing voice.
Don't snub a boy because of the ig-
norance Of his parents. Shakespeare.
the worlds poet, was the son of a man
who was unable to write lis own name.
Don't snub boy who seems dull or
stupid. Hogarth, the celebrated painter
and engraver, was slow at learning and
did not develop as soon as most boys
Don't snub a boy because he wears
shabby clothes. When Edison, the
great inventor, first entered Boston he
wore a pair of yellow linen breeches in
the depth of winter.
Don't snub any one Not alone be-
cause they may far outstrip you in the
race of life, but because it is neither
kind, nor right, nor Christian.
