Sometimes a persons tongue gets
them into trouble. Watch the tongue;
1T is your tongue, 1t belongs to you, and
is the only one for which you are re-
sponsible. Your neighbors tongue may
need care ALSO but that is his business;
this is yours to see to. Watch your
tongue; it needs watching. 1t is a
fire-watch IL. 1t is the helm which
guides the vessel. Let the helmsman
keep wide awake. 1t can bless or it
can curse; 1t can poison or heal; it can
pierce hearts or blight hopes; it can
SOW discord or separate chief friends.
Watch your tongue, no one but you
can take care OF that tongue. Your
neighbors may wish they could bridle
1t, but they can't do it.-Exchange.

Political Pull for Teachers.

Political pulls" in the hiring of
school teachers was the subject OF a
vigorous address by r.. B. Teitrick,
assistant superinte ndent OF public in

The fact that the teacher Ia resi-
dent of the district and the son or
daughter of taxpayer, or man with
influence should not sway the direct

qualification only, competency. Tea
chers with a pull are without am
