Some mothers will not tolerate any
correction of their children's manners
by the teacher, taking it as direct
insult to their home training, when
it is but the result of childish heed
lessness of self-will. No greater in
jury can be done teacher than to
condemn her at home in the presence
of pupils. There are many-they US
ually allude to a teacher as school
marm-who persist in believing and
encouraging the belief that school
teacher is never to be regarded with
other than suspicion.
Advertising is not the work FOR a
dullard. 1t requires frankness, hon
esty, tact, originality or quaintness
Commonplace advertising strikes the
reader very much as any other blotch
of ink does. A good advertisement
should be founded upon honesty of
purpose, should be explicitly interest
ing and allowed sufficient space to be
attractively displayed. Every promise
in it should be faithfully kept, and
|
by the purchaser.
Have the courage to speak your
mind when it is necessary you should
do so, and to hold your tongue when
it is prudent to do so.
: The ideal life for woman, and for
man as well, is the closest supreme
love for one, true and tender affec-
ton for many, and kindly, active good
will for all.
It's just as easy for you to eat
enough in one day to last you week,
as it is for the business man to ad-
vertise enough in one week to last him
/ a year. The business man who thinks
he is like a camel and can make a
long journey across the desert of bust
ness on one squirt Of advertising will
find himself very dry long before he
has reached the first oasis.
The man who asks the fewest favors
has, as a rule, the most friends. And
when he does really need to have q
favor granted, he is pretty sure to
get it.

The best time to enter school is on
the first day of the school year; the
best time to leove is on the last day of
the last term of the school year. First
year pupils, that is, pupils who are
entering school for the first time after
reaching six years of age, should not
enter after the first month of any term
is past. The interruption and hind
rance to the rest of the pupils of this
grade is more than any considerate
> parent ought to demand. II your child
does not become Of school age (six
, years old) till after the first month of
the term is past, or if you do not get
ready to send him the first month,
keep him out until the beginning of the
next term.
The line of conduct chosen by a
young man during the five years from
fifteen to twenty, will in almost every
instance, determine his character for
life. AS he is then careful or careless,
prudent or imprudent, industrious or
, incident, truthful or discriminating, in
telligent or ignorant, temperate or dis
