ANOTHER SCHOOL YEAR.
A Short Talk for the School Boys and
Girls.

Girls.
New York Journal: Another year
of work in the public schools is about
to begin.
You boys and girls receive in school
the education and training that will
give you success and a good life il
you do your share.
knowledge is the thing that makes
us human beings different from ami
mails. Knowledge makes our brains
useful and our hands useful
IL man or a woman every day,
hour by hour, gave you money or good
things to eat you, school boys and
girls would appreciate and encourage
that giver.

Nov begins the time of the year
when you train your brain, when you.
try to get into your head the power

men and women that work very hard,
and remember, although you may not
realize 1t, that teaching is the most ir-
ritating and the most difficult work
in the world.
Have nothing to do with school chill
dren that are rude to teachers or
careless In study. 1t IL not boys
or a girls fault IL the brain is not
wonderful But 1t is the scholars
fault IL the opportunity is neglected.
The schoolboy who devotes his pow

thinks that he is smart; in reality he

You would not be surprised to see
kitten or a puppy act badly in
school. Such little animals have no
brains; they do not know any better.
