OF course, It's better to be a shoptalker

hardest work a woman can do. It's the
profession which is abused by the public
more than any other, with less chance OF
retaliation or recompense. Mothers freely
and frankly acknowledge that they will be
glad when vacation is over and the chill
dren in school. It's because they are glad
to shove off on the teacher the task OF dis
ciplining the young American whose wild
FRANKS and ungovernable activity are more
than they can manage.
