Appreciation.

If you would be helpful, be sympa-
thetic, be appreciative. There is no
such inspiration as genuine apprecia.
ton it is the keynote of successful
leadership. Some who are prominent
in Christian work have failed at this
point. The pastor who stimulates his
people to untiring work is the one
who fully appreciates every effort put
forth by them. Superficial defects
sometimes cause men to overlook real
worth, but it was not so with our Lord.
Nathaniel came doubling, yet Jesus
said of him: "Behold an 1sraelite
indeed, in whom is no guile" Appre'
citation and encouragement will de-
velop gifts and graces in natures
which have dwindled and shrunk
under adverse influence. But only
those who have truly put self aside
can have part in such heavenly
ministry.

ment is very much smaller In some school
districts for the present year than for the
past. This is due 10 several causes. TO Wit:
Some School Districts overdrew their appor-
ti0n u1ent for the previous year, and the over
draft was deducted from the present appor-
tionmeut. In some districts fewer pupils
have been reported, the total number OF chill
dren, however, has been increased which de-
creased the per capita rate.
The main cause OF decrease In fund Is the
fact that the apportionment for last year
(Lnrough an oversighU was more than the
funds actually on hand. Apportionments are
based not on certainty. but necessarily on
an approximation. Respectfully.
