CHARACTER.

\ good character is true mark of
manhood. 1t is to man what good
viii is to a newspaper. He lives by
it, enjoys it, and leaves it as an inher-
itance to his kindred. More
lasting than riches, more enduring
than fame, for character is greater than
fame, it is the essence of good deeds re-
membered.
Character is what We have done by
one act or means that links our friends
to Us with hooks of steel" 1t may
he one act, it may be many, it must
have been something. 1t is not what
we have planned to do. but what we
have done, that gives us character. 1t
is thought set in motion, good intent
ions executed and our part well act
ed
Character begins early and ends late
1t makes no compromise with evil. 1t
does right. 1t is patient when others
murmur, and silent when silence is
golden. 1t loves friendship and de-
spises deceit. 1t works while others
are idle and enjoys the fruits of indust-
ny. Good characters never grow from
idleness they come from effort.
| Character builders are never nasty
and never change to fit public senti-
ment; obey measure time by moments
| and manhood nv usefulness Thp,- fn,-

The teachers were permitted to listen
to an excellent address from DR.. John
A. Spyker of Penn college. Dr. Spy
ker's talk was full of good things for
the instructors. He spoke of the
teachers mission, the responsibilities
that rest upon their shoulders. Fol-
lowing the address the meeting was
thrown open TO discussion. Cues
tons were asked and the matter fully
discussed. The discussion of means
whereby better results can be OBJ
tanned, not only in penmanship but
In other work, was taken up.
