She Had Not Read Scriptures

Miss Dorothy Drew. who was pre-
sented at court few days ago. was
the favorite granddaughter of the late
W. E. Gladstone, and among the
stories told of her childhood days is
the following: One morning she re-
fused to get up, and, all other things
failing, Mr.. Gladstone was called tc
her. Why, don't you get up, my
child?" he asked. Why. grandpa,
didn't you tell me to do what the
Bible says?" replied Dorothy. Yes,

early rising-says it's waste of
time," rejoined the child. Mr.. Glad

exclamation Of establishment, and,
taking up her Bible she read Psalm

words: 1T is vain for you to rise I'D

not only the High school, but through
out the grades, We are stressing, this
year, the subject of reading.
The school fails in one of its largest
functions if it does not arouse in the
child love for good literature. with
hunger and thirst for reading. To
such child are open all the beauti-
full thoughts. noble aspirations, the
lofty ideals, the abiding truths. the
record of glorious achievements of all
the ages of the past. He holds COM
munion with the greatest minds that
have ever lived. Good books become
his personal friends. They tell him
of his faults and teach him how to
mend them: they beguile many lone
some hour and save him from the
yisciousness of idleness: they increase
his knowledge: broaden his sympa-
thies: strengthen his resolutions;
soothe his sorrows, and enrich his joys.
Such a pupil will become educated.
Our primary teacher, Mrs. Alberta
G. Murphy, received a request last
week from Professor Amos f. Stetter,

St. Louis, to present paper on school,
room decoration before the Missouri
State Teachers Association. which
meets in St. Louis during the holi-
days. Mrs. Murphy has accepted the
invitation and her high culture and
large experience fully qualify her to
present this subject before that dis
tinguished gathering. We appreciate
the ,honor thus conferred upon our
fellow teacher and through her upon
our school.
