| Webster was never late at recita-
ton in school or college. In court,
in Congress, in society, he was equally
punctual.
Amid the cars and distractions of a
singularly busy life, Horace Greeley

One of the best things about school

strikes the hour for rising, for recita-

promptness.

one that is nearly right encourages

"Oh how l appreciate a boy who is

How quickly you learn to depend
