The teacher must remember also that the body of the child Is not always per feet and that many of the defects seem ingly of the mind are those of the body. Then, too, the impulsiveness of the child must be considered; in him the force of impulse is stronger than that Of Will, and many of his acts of bad behavior are due to something which he cannot con- troll Tn educating the will of a child. a strong mind anu a good, loving heart can d. far more than the rod.

A Handsome Booklet.

One of the cleverest and most artistic pieces of advertising that has appeared in the south is publication of a beau tiful booklet by the Nunnaly Co.,, man ufacturers of the famous Nunnally' s Candy.
 This book Is replete with beautiful re- productions in half-tones and in colors showing the entire process used by this company in the making of their choice confections. Not only does the booklet describe at length these different pro- cesses, but 1t goes into the necessity for absolute cleanliness and absolute purity for the production of such candy as may prove pleasing and profitable rather than detrimental to the customer
 From typographical point Of view the reproductions in color represent the very highest art of the printer. Thumb nail half-tones add much to the beauty of this booklet, and these. together with the illustrations showing exactly how the Nunnally candies are made, also add much to the reputation which they have built up for this well-known Atlanta firm
 Views of the factory and its many de- partments give the reader a most inter esting knowledge of the making of our candles, together with many hints and suggestions such as must prove invalu- able in the selection of confections.
 In addition to the manufacture of can dies, the placing of these in the most at tractive and substantial form is now con- sidered of the greatest importance. The packing department has always been a feature of the Nunnally Company. and this booklet both shows the method in vogue together with some of the daintl- est and most artistic boxes and packages.
 Altogether this little publication which bears the imprint of the Massengale Ad- vertislng Agency who place all the Nun nally advertising. immediately places the reader in position to judge of pure and wholesome candies and to avoid the cheap and adulterated limitations, which have made the phrase. None Like Nunnaily's' famous throughout the south.
