any one. We can 60 to school all the
time. The world Is o university,
1.-THE second thing to have Is faith
in our selves. No one can ever tell
what any one viii amount to, Never
get discouraged about yourself. No
one can tell whether q boy or girl Is
dull There Sre unseen things In
every one Of us. Never rebuke a
child for stupidity. Encourage every
bright thing and remember that the
dullest pupil may become In the long
run the brightest scholar,
"The third requisite Ia clean habits
OF body and mind No young man or
woman ought 10 have any bad habits.

clean in mind, body and spirit.
"a fourth requisite Is a consuming
love of hard work, Learn that one
is not In the world to play but to
