BACKING UP THE TEACHER

The mistress of a certain home said
to caller the other day, referring to
the operations of her small boy, who
may for the occasion be called Johnny
Il hope you will pardon the looks
of my home. Johnny just takes the
hammer to everything"
Then Johnnie came in. His mo-
thcr issued various orders. No doubt
feeling that they were unnecessary
and injudiciOus, Johnnie declined to
obey. His mother remarked apollo
getically, Hell go to school this fall.
The teachers will straighten him out. "
There are many families that feel
they can't afford to spend time dis
ciplining their children, when they
are hiring school teachers to do the
job. When the Johnnies turn up at
public school on some early date in
September, they do not readily yield
the position Of independence which
they have acquired in the home. Able
to have his own way with his parents,
1t appears fundamentally unjust l,
them that the teacher is not equal,
good natured. Johnny has his first
experience with real authority.
He reports his observations at home

Want Of faith speedily kills the

Simple Things Best.

To retain youth you must cultivate
and preserve your power to enjoy sim
pie things. As our forms of pleasure
become complex and expensive the
soul becomes stiff and cramped. To
love simple food and drink, simple
methods of play, simple speech, and,
above all, the manifest simplicities Of
nature, makes red blood. Resist the
inroads of pessimism. It means the
twilight Of the soul and the empty
night.-Frank Crane.
