Urged to Keep on Growing.

Then. be sure to keep on growing. So
many boys and girls don't Keep growing
very much after they leave school. Use
what You know; then get more and use
that, and SO 1t is not much what
You know. but YOUR ability to use what
You do know.

piOyer when he gives YOU piece of work
to be done to know he will find it free
from mistakes.
He urged his auditors to do their best:
to do good work. For by this means.
he said. YOU Will not only do well your
self. but you will help to take the strain
off many another overworked man
Mrs. Edith kingman Kern, member of
the board of education, who conferred the

courtesy in business as we'll other
phases of life.
There is a great difference between
courtesy and mere etiquette" said she.
I'm the business world are two debts
which you can never pay, but which YOU
may pay in installments day by day. One
is the debt of self-respect which you owe
yourself, and the other is the debt of
courtesy: courtesy to all whom we meet
and with whom We come in contact.
Courtesy is not society airs or pretty
ways. but the simple. honest ways that
come from the heart.
