There is one thing in connection
with st. Valentines Day and the
schools which we are inclined TO believe
would be wiser if abolished. We refer
To the custom in the first few grades OF
having valentine box each year, and
allowing the pupils to place therein as
many as they like and for whom they
choose. In the first place, IL makes a
great deal of work for the teacher as
she takes pains to look them all over
to see that there are no pernicious or
comic ones among them; but the hurt
comes when favored few will receive
from ten to fifteen handsome valen-
tines, while others get one or perhaps
two, and others yet have empty hands.
Many time the tears and sobs will
come, no matter how hard they are
held back, and gift of valentine
from the teacher, from store for this
purpose, only partially helps to heal
the wound. Better let each child send
his valentine through the mail or by
hand and save these little heart breaks.
The teachers, we are sure, would be
glad to give up the custom, but the
children are so eager for II that their
pleadings prevail.
