School Notes.

10 Board Members and Trustees:
| wish t" call your attention to
the following information con-
cerning the enrolment and aver
age attendance for the 46 white
schools which we're taught DUR
ing the past session.: Total en-.
rollment 1896, and total average
attendance only $500, The aver
age attendance is about 81 per
cent of the enrolment. This
means that each dollar of school
money spent last session for
running the white schools was
worth less than 81 cents on ac-
count of children not attending
regularly.
Inc total number OF boys en-
rolled 2072 and total number of
girls enrolled 2O14. Average at
tendance of boys 1914, and aver.
age attendance of girls 1886.
Notice that the number of boys
enrolled is 58more than the mum.
Der of girls enrolled, and that
the average attendance of the
girls is y more than the average
attendance for the boys. From
this we see that about So per
cent of the boys and about 63 per
cent of the girls enrolled in the
schools during the past session
got the benefit of the schools.
Now, if you we're getting only
50 cents for each dollars worth

ance for each school. Let it not
be our fault if the attendance for
the session of 1913-1914 is not !
better than this.

Learn 10 Discriminate.

You must make up your mind TO perrnln
those with whom you live to be lost or saved
in their own fashion If you mean to have
peace in the family. I don't mean you
should give up all attempts to induce your
household to conform to certain rules that
are for the good of all or that you should
let the children for WI are respon-
sible drift into careless habits OF life or
conduct or speech. What you should try
to do is to discriminate between the impor-
tant and the unimportant. and not make a
fetch OF the latter.
For example, you have theory the family
should all gather about the breakfast table
on time-a theory and practice of which I
myself approve. Yet when the college boy
is " examining for exams when the high
school girl has been out late at her frater-
nifty dance. when the man of the house has
kept at his office until midnight agonz-
ing over trial balance or an inventory,
you do well If you hold your theory lightly
or suspend the practice for the time That
sleep to the tired children or husband is
worth a good deal more than prompt ap-
pearance at the breakfast table. and the
feeling that their need is appre ciated and
met by your thoughtfulness is OF more value
still
Your sacrifice may cost you a struggle.
but depend upon it you have failings which
are as hard for Your family to bear as theirs
are to you You may have a trick of speech
or of manner, habit of conduct or of dress
which they find it difficult to endure pa
tiently. Don't for a moment imagine you
are not supplying them with their full share
of discipline Try instead to make out IL

Those of us who have been i'll or who have

Judging bu Ourselves.

have said it is hard to permit others 10 be
mistaken even when the point under dis
cussion is Of no Importance. Not only alb
stract matters supply opportunities for the
exercise of forbearance. Have you ever
thought how we measure the tastes, the
digestions, and the habits of others by our
own measuring rod?
Surely you don't let that child eat choc-
olate!" L heard a matron say to a young
mother whose year old child was enjoying
a piece of plain sweet chocolate. 1t is
very unwholesome.

woman. anxiously. The doctor told me

What harmed her stomach could not be
harmless to others. Every day we see such
cases as this--the well meaning friend who
declares the unwholesomeness of some
food, the danger of some course, the In
advisability of some opinion with which
she cannot agree or which cannot agree

Perhaps the virtues of others are harder
to bear with sometimes than their defects.

emptations 10 Quick Speech.

We all of us know the temptations to
quick speech supplied By those we love best.
Their name is legion--the temptations, L
mean. The member of the family who is al
ways late at meals; the one who has a
capricious appetite and is fussy about his
iood; the other who never recollects to
put anything away; those who are given to
making positive statements which we know
TO be incorrect and who dislike to be set
right. or the critics who are always finding
fault about something-some representative
Of each class is pretty sure to be in the
household of every one of us

with peculiar radiance by comparison with
our shortcomings. But the person who Is
constitutionally late to appointments has
much to stand from the SNUG self-satis-
faction of the friend who is invariably
on time and who shows a labored polite
ness after being kept waiting on a windy
corner for fifteen minutes.
L confess that sometimes my sympathy
is drawn more to the culprit than to the
just one. as l understand better the attitude
of the person who hurries madly to get to

getic and unhappy than the cold self-satis-
faction of the perennially prompt With her

some one else to gather up. But you don't
have to hold any special position in the
family to be fretted by the mistakes or the
inaccuracies of others and to be eager to
correct them. One of the hardest things
know to do is to permit others to be mis-
taken without leaping in and trying to
show them where they are wrong.

many failngs which must be

make thyself such an one as thou wouldest,
how canst thou expect to have another in
all things to thy liking?"
Does this sound as though l were about
to preach a sermon? 1 am not-the text il
sufficient in itself for any one to live up to
without discourse OF mine But when 1
came across the counsel in the course of my
daily reading it occurred to me that per-
haps the best scope for its application lay
not in the field of religion or of temptations
to evil as they are generally understood,
but right in the home-in your home and
mine.

Versity of inanimate things as shown in the

smoke, the bread that won't RISE and other
Vexations of the same kind. To my mind all
THESE, irritating they undoubtedly are,
seem as nothing compared with the test

count.
