This suggests that Mrs. Kings reli-
ance upon the school was in this case
parasitic and contrary to the spirit
of mutual help that should character
ize our social relations. Yet the pur-
pose was laudable, and there was no
thought of taking advantage of any
one, least OF all of the teacher.

A MISER OF THE SOUL
He was not loyal to others.

He was not loyal to others.
He never hesitated to sacrifice their
reputation for his advantage.
He was always saying mean things
about them in their absence.
He did not know the value Of
+houghtfulness in little things.
He never thought it worth while to
spend time in keeping up his friend
ships.
He never learned that implicit, gen.
erous trust is the very foundation stone
of friendship.
He regarded friendship as a luxury
to be enjoyed instead Of an opportu-
nifty for service.
He did not realize that friendship
will not thrive on sentiment alone
that there must be service to nOurish
II.
He was suspicious of everybody. He
never threw the doors Of his heart wide
open to people, or took them into his
confidence.
He was always ready to receive as
sistance from them, but always toe
busy or too stingy TO assist them In
their time of need.
He measured them up by their abil'
ity to advance him.-SucceSS.

Divinity in Man.

The most significant feature In the
history of an epoch is the manner it
has of welcoming a great man. Ever,
to the true instincts Of men, there Is
something godlike in him. Whether
they shall take him to be a god, to be a
prophet, or what they shall take him
to be, that is ever a grand question !;
by their way of answering that we
shall see, as through a little window,
into the very heart of these mems spir-
itual condition. For at bottom the
great man, as he comes from the hand
of nature, is ever the same kind of
thing: Odin, Luther, Johnson. Burns ;
1 hope to make it appear that these
are all originally of one stuff; that
only by the worlds reception of them
and the shapes they assume, are they
SO UNNECESSARILY diverse.-Carlyle.

NEW YEAR MEMORIES
By Fred Boqardus.

BY Fred eosardus.
Oh, for an old-fashioned New Year oays
With enjoyments keen and pure.
When fun and frolic reigned supreme,
Good fellowship the lure.
A we journeyed to the parties
Afoot, perchance by sleigh.
The atmosphere seemed laden with
Best wishes of the day.
With good old hearty handshakes
We knew were welcome grips.
Instead Of the present method OF
Just touching the fngerups.
How we merrily danced the lancers.
Danced II with a ZEAL
Also the polka and minuet,
And jolly Virginia reel
How the young and old enjoyed Il
Each in his separate way.
Youth thinking Of the present,
| Age Of the bygone day.
While times and vogues may change, alas
And natures will obeys.
I'll still retain sweet memories OF
The good old-fashioned ways.

able despatch. And now she isn't
late at all.
This was quite an achievement, and
Mrs. King made no effort to conceal
her pride. But she did not tell us at
whose cost her daughter had learned
to dress herself; nor did she develop
any principle that might be of general
use to large numbers of. mothers.
In the first place, the frequent tar
diness Of this child in school is a
serious burden to the school. The
alternative, of helping the child at
home with reminders, or even with
direct assistance In the tedious process
of disposing Of the clothes properly
about the body, is no doubt serious
burden upon the home. And there is
no doubt that by placing the whole
burden upon the child and the schoo

isolation is not for the sake of the
sick, but for the sake of those who
are not yet sick. And the same prln-
ciple applies to much Of what we are
today required to do in the adjustment
of the child between the home and the
school.
We shall have to give the young
child at home little more care, a
