How many of you have read these
lines of Charlotts Perkins Gilman?
mot for herself! Though sweet the
air Of freedom;
Not for herself! Though dear the
newborn power;
But for the child who needs a noble
Mother,
For the whole people needing one
another,
Comes Woman to her hour"
Yesterday idleness was the badge OF
nobility. ldleness is Of castles and Of
kings. Service, business, Is OF democ-
racy. Business, work, service, is the
noblest calling in a democracy. The
desire to serve is the spark that drives
every one to achievement. lie who
serves most succeeds best. This law
is as invariable as that of gravltatiun.
Teachers, in our work this year, let
Us remember not only IN our own lives,
but let us strive to inculcate this prin-
ciple into the lives of those placed un-
der our care.
And parents, remember that II you
would lind the truest happiness ior
yourselves and your children, you viii
endcavor to provide the same cduca-
tional advantages and privileges fOr
the children of the other man and
woman of your ncighborhood that you
wish to provide for your own children.
