An Old School Story.

Today the Jefferson school is one
OF the most orderly in the city. The
children don't fight as they used to
they don't stone cats, or tie tin pals
to the tails of dogs, or molest the
sons of the Flowery Kingdom. And
why? Because every school child down
that way, as soon as he is ol denough
to write his name, is made a member
of the army for the prevention of all
the old evils and no bludfrockeds
brass-buttoned guardian of the peace
could ever have done a half of the
lgood that these children have accom-
plished, For four years the principal
has been organizing the pupils of all
THE various classes into Bands of
Mercy, and now every child seems
proud of his enrolment There are
about $50 members.

To Teachers And Parents.

Children are fond of animals, and by
no other means can kindness be so
thoroughly inculcated in them as by
humane teaching. 81 find it the best
kind of discipline, and worth any
amount of effort writes an able
teacher after two years trial Such
is the uniform testimony of those who
teach kindness to animals
We appeal to all educators of youth
"a class whose power and responsible
ity are greater than that of any other,
to adopt at once this benefcient in
struction, to teach children that ami
mails have rights which they should
respect, that cruelty is contemplate,
and that justice, mercy and compass
sion are the noblest of all virtues.
