Inc school ma am Is the gul0lng
star Of the nation. She takes the
little bantling fresh from home nest,
full of his pouts.. his pets and his pas
sions. ungovernable in many cases,
rampant. riotous little wretch, whose
own mother often admits she sends
him to school purposely to get rid
OF him. The school ma'am takes a
whole carload OF these little anarch-
lists. half Of whom singly and alone
cannot be handled by their own
mothers. and she puts them in the
way OF becoming useful citizens. She
deserves not only the sympathy of
the public, but she will receive her
Just reward in the hereafter. Let
