The Board would also like to urge the

enough material for practice 10 prepare
a pupil properly to advance from the

material In these books is one reason
for SO many poor readers among the

ance makes perfect, and two or three

would help largely in furnishing material
for the practice without having it become
old to the children. These classes are

He Used To Be a Man.

This is an editorial about one who
used TO be man.
He started in life without dollar.
II ga man is worth only two dollars a
day from the head down" then this man
was worth only two dollars day. But
after time he got his head to work.
And by working with his head he began
to work others. He learned how to
make dollars grow. He got onto the
inside of things. He cornered some
special privileges that the man who
works with his hands never gets. He
grew rich. He was a millionaire.
In the days Of his beginnings he mar
ried a young girl who like himself was
poor. She helped him to save his
money. She worked hard and denied
herself. She shaved and saved and lost
her beauty. What matter itP They
were getting rich and would enjoy their
prosperity.
But now the man looked into the face
Of his wife and saw that she was faded
She did her best to show the old charm
in vain. And one day the man bumped
into girl, artful, fascinating, OF hand
some face and figure. She looked at
him and smiled. And he was undone.
Why shouldn't he buy this beauty
His money would buy anything he
wanted.
And so this creature sent his lawyers
to the old wife who had given herself
for him and paid her money. And the
lawyers told the wife the millionaire did
not love her any more and had no use
for her. And the millionaire went away
with the pretty, young woman. Ana
the old wife cried.
Who is this fellow with much money
and hardened hearth
Turn to the books of Dunn or OF
Bradstreet and read over the the list OF
millionaires. Pick out one at random
and YOU will scarcely miss his name and
address.
He used to be man-now he IS only
a millionaire. City World.
