your medicine.

The following bits of advice were
seen this past week on the blackboard
in the study hall:

E. Newton Smith, for the past three
years principal of the Newport, N. H..
high school, visited our school Wednes-
Maiden Commercial school of Maiden,
Mass. Mr.. Smith very kindly gave an
address to the pupils of the high school.
Among other things, he said we should
keep the word "self" in mind, not
egotistically, but as representing the
best in us. The word "self" consists
of four letters; the first, IS" stands
for service, typifying help at home,
perfect lessons in school, and the doing
for others as we should wish others to
do unto US; the second letter. sc, -
represents effort and effort may be
described as ''motor driving" for the
purpose of accomplishing something
worth while; ''l'' stands for loyalty,
without which we could not be true OF
faithful to perform even the smallest
task; ''f" stands for the future, OF
which we know nothing, yet have the
blessed privilege of making it what we
will. "Self," then, stands for ser.
> vice, effort, loyalty, future, which
are, after all has been said and done,
, the highest things in life. In closing,
Mr.. Smith impressed on our minds the
following little prayer: al will per-
form each duty as a willing service tc
all mankind; using supreme effort to
do all things we'll; giving loyalty to
} the best as understand it; that my
future may be led into the successful
paths of each tomorrow"
