Meanwhile it is good discipline
to do ones best whatever the
time or circumstance, since a
letting go of ones powers or
purpose nearly always means a
weakening Of those forces. Hold
on tight to the determination to
do good work, your very best in
fact; and tho it may not always
be possible to do excellent work,
you will not lose anything if you
make a strenuous effort. Alons.
with the general dearth Of ideas,
there were lesser things which
might be criticised any week ex-
cept vacation week, but this will
be sufficient: Be careful to say
just what you mean, and then
there will be no such curious de-
scriptions as this, which was
found in Junior story:

with roses and children dressed
in white, and Shetland ponies
tied with white roses and ribbons,
