another was ideal because he did
not possess "buttermilk eyes;

"fashionplate lady; and another
was spared Infringing the bell"
Two tributes were laid at the feet

qualities. The ideal pupil must be
courteous. sensible, pretty, obedi-

his lessons we'll learned, must work
while he worked, and play while
he played; he must not whisper, nor
write notes without good reason;
he must not pull the girls hair,
nor be 3goody-goody." He mast
have, or must not have, any num-
Der of other qualities. Upon one
thing, however, Juniors largely
agreed, and that was that the ideal
pupil must not be perfect, because
he would then be unnatural and a
triffe tiresome; he must see the
bright side of life but must not
giggle all the time-''he must be
neither a savage nor a wooden
