Prof. Morrow, principal of the Allegheny
high school, says; 1t appears to me on
first impression that the charge of so
many pupils and young business men being
liars and cheats is greatly overtrawn. My
experience with school pupils does not
bear IL out. l consider that 80 per cent
Of the scholars in American schools are
truthful and their yeracity should not be
questioned.
There may be more than l per cent
who are addicted To lying and stealing
These cannot fairly be considered pupils.
BY their covert acts they are sooner or
later detected by committing some act
that calls for their expulsion. Another
thing that should be considered is that
many pupils ranging in age from eight to
fifteen tell little lie to shield play
mate. It is not the spirit to lie out
right that prompts them to do it. II is
the fact that there is great deal of
honor among young America. The ma
jority of them would consider it a lesser
crime to be caught telling falsehood than
TO peach on companion for some trifling
breach OF rules. The latter would only
entail erepriInand, butthe 'peacting would
provoke the disdain of associates You
We're once a schoolboy yourself and know
what that means. Ninetenths OF all lies
told by school pupils do not come from
the heart, but rather spontaneously. They
should not be considered lies in the full
term OF the word.
