Please remember that every grade in
red ink indicates a failure for that
month We have noticed that most
of the failures are due to lack of the
necessary effort on the part of those
who fail or to irregularity in attend
ance Those who receive the highest
grades are always the ones most reg
ular in attendance.
The father who allows Johnny to
spend most of his evenings upon the
streets or in some loafng place, has
no right to expect Johnny to excel in
school work The mother who does
not know where Mary is from seven
till ten after supper, should not be
surprised if that same Mary soon;
gets tired of school and, Don't like
the teacher" There is no short cutS
to an education If we get one We
must toll for it. The boy or girl who
is doing successful school work is do
ing some regular and systematic
studying outside Of school hours.

All honor to the girl who is work
ing for her board and room in order
to gain an education in some good
school, We now have in mind one
who had no father Or mother to plan
for her From the time she was
eight years Of age she was forced to
live with strangers who compelled
her to do the hardest kind of manual
work She always attended the
country school when she could and
made the best use of her time while
there. At the age Of fifteen, she

worked for her board while attending
the high school. She worked hard
over the wash tub each Saturday and
had plenty of house work to do each y
DAY. Yet she always studied from
two to three hours each school night.
This girl liked her school because she
always had good lessons and such
girl, or boy either, will always like
school. While a Junior she passed
the teachers examination, receiving
her certificate. She is president of
her class and in June will in all prob
ability graduate at the head of her
class. During summer vacations she
did house work at $3.50 per week. Her
ambition is to work her way thru coz,
lege by her own efforts and those who
know her fully expect her to do it.
