| laid at our door.

| sip:
"That we will not repeat detrimen-
tai reports unless necessary.
"That we will not be inquisitive as
to affairs to learn about which might
create slander and gossip.
"That we will not cast reflections
upon any by either tone or gesture.
| "That we will guard against un-
kind insinuations that may hurt some
ones feelings.

abhor gossip and exaggeration and
not allow them to tell tales out OF
school,"

til we know the truth"
