q bachelor, who informed us that he
had been guest at social gather
ing at which they whiled away the
time with a game in the course OF
which he WAS called upon to name
some article of u woman's wearing
apparel beginning with a certain
letter; the poor fellow could think
of but one article the name of which
began with the letter in question,
and the very idea of mentioning il
caused chill to chase itself up and
down his spinal column. If the gen.
tleman referred to will take unto
himself better-hah, he will likely
acquire a knowledge as to wonaan' s
wearing apparel that will prevent
his ever again being placed in such
an embarrassing position.
We occasionally hear disparagine
as to our school, but we be-
lieve that in nine cases out of ten
the fault lies more at the door of the
parent than at that of the teacher.
There. are certain rules laid down
for the government of all schools
if the parent will not sustain the
child in an infraction of these rules,
and will see that the child learns, in
part at least, it's lessons at home,
everything will probably move along
smoothly.
