need not enlarge upon this for
II am not mistaken a girl never feels
ihuch older than when she is in the
senior class in her school. Perhaps |
ought to tell you not to carry too
many burdens or take life too seri-
ousiy, since after all girlhood should
De care-free and very happy time.
Generally speaking, faithful work
zone day by day results in promotion,
at least while we are in school. H.

or ears, that causes inattention and
makes us lose the thread of what is

sometimes girl has too many con.
nlcting engagements, as for instance,
when in addition to her school work
she tries to study music and drawing
out OF school, or when in still less
credltable ambition, she ventures on
the porderland of society. A school
girl mas no business with evening COM
panies, theaters. concerts, or social
entertainments of any kind whatever.
Her round of duties is clasped by two
words, home and school. Lessons can
not all be studied to advantage In the
schoolroom, and a portion of school
work must be taken home and done
there Health is of the utmost impor-
lance, and to keep it at the highest
point, girl must have plenty of exer-
else out of doors, or in the gymnasi-
UNI, and must not forget that the best
hours for recreation are those that d.
rectly follow the afternoon closing of
school.
Evening hours should be devoted to
preparation for another day, and for
a schoolgirl the old rule of early to
bed and early to rise" has no excep-
tons. If we would be promoted we
must take time to sleep that the brain
may be rested and ready to do its
work.
The conclusion Of the matter is this:
Dor't be unduly elated when you sue.
coed, and don't be altogether crushed
when you fail. The people in this
world who gain what they wan. IN the
end are those who cannot be rebuffed
or disheartened when things go wrong.
II they slip down they scramble up,
and try again. They are like the
man in Mother Goose who jumped
into bramble bush, and scratched
out both his eyes.
And when he found his eyes were out.
With all his might and main,
He jumped into another bush
And scratched them in again."
II we do our best we deserve reward
whether we receive it or not, and
there is a rich reward in an approving
conscience. We can all belong, you
know, to
The Company Who Try.
Yes, love the youthful winner
With the medal and the mark;
| He has gained the prize he sought for.
He is Joyous as lark.
| Every one will haste to praise him,
He is on the honor list
| I've a tender thought, my darlings,
For the one who tried, and missed.
One? All me! They count by thousands,
Those who have not gained the race,
Though they did their best and fairest.
Striving for the winners place.
Only few can reach the laurel,
Many see their chance fit by;
I've tender thought, my darlings,
For the earnest band who try.
IT'S the trying that is noble.
If you're made of sterner stun
Than the laggards who are daunted
When the bit of road is rough,
All will praise the happy winners;
But when they have hurried by,
I've song to cheer, my darlings,
The great company who try.
