lnasmuch. as none of us hold a divine
| commission TO regulate the lives OF our
| friends, or censor their possessions, 1T IS not
| often that we are forced to tell them
| brutal truths Generally we can preserve
| the amenities a the situation without
| doing violence to our consciences by deal
/ ing in glittering generalities. We can
| praise the view from house without
saying that the house itself is furnished in
| atrocious taste We can say that Jones is
a good honest man without adding that
| he is an intolerable bore. We can emulate
the example of the old bachelor, who was
| a truthful James, who when shown a new
baby, always exclaimed in tones of the
deepest conviction, well, this is child, J"
cryptic remark in which the proud
mother read the most fulsome praise,
which remained fact that nobody could
dispute, and committed the speaker to no
personal opinion on the baby's looks.
As for people justifying their brutal
candor by claiming the right to say exact
ly what they think, as we'll as might they
arrogate to Themselves the privilege of
indulging any other impulse unchecked
All of us see things that other people have
that we covet, but we do not forcibly
grab the desired article and make IL our
own.
There are times when we simply ache TO
commit assault and battery upon the
persons of our friends, but we restrain our
selves Probably there are not husband
and wife In the world who haven't had a
moment IN which they could joyfully have
murdered each other, yet uxorcide is
comparatively rare crime.
Law, decency, convention have taught
us TO restrain our hands. Why should
not the same restraint be put on our
tongues? Why have we any more right
to go about robbing people of their piece
of mind, and their harmless conceits, than
we have to steal their lewelry or their
automobiles?
Why have we any more right to wound
with our tongues than we have to wound
with knife or gun? Why is it not as
great crime to slay the happiness of
man or a woman as it is to kill their
bodies?
And did you ever notice this7-the
people who make such fetish of speaking
the truth, and the whole truth, are never
strong for anything but unpleasant
truths Ii there is anything wrong about
you, their lngrowlng sense OF candor COM
pels them to tell you of it, but they never
feel bound to mention your virtues, though
they outweigh your faults ten to one.
Perhaps it Is because truth so often
arises as a shield behind which malice
and spitefulness get in their deadly work.
that most of us tight shy of the individual

THE GIRL ON THE JOB.

TEACHERS AND OPPORTUNITY.

There has been much said Of late con-
cerning the hard lot of the teacher, the
small pay received for the difficult work
done, and other things likely to discourage
the ambitious girl from taking up the
work.
This is largely true. But in looking
over the records of some Of our most sue
cessful women, it ls interesting TO see that
number of them began work as teachers
Often as teachers In small country
schools.
The name of Mrs. Josephine Corliss
Preston Is known pretty much all over
America, and lately her political work has
been receiving much attention from the
press. She it was who started the con-
solidated district plan for country neigh
borhoods, plan that has proved OF the
utmost benefit TO her State of Washington.
And 1t was she who inaugurated thesystem
| Of building a home for the teacher near
the school she was to teach IN, so that
she might be independent Of the some
times rather trying hospitality OF the
scholars parents, and have place that
would really be homo, and not a make
shift. This plan Is being greatly developed
ID country neighborhoods.
Mrs. Preston started to school when she
teach for a number of years. Her work
was so good that in time she was elected
county school superintendent, an Office
which she held three years running
Finally she was elected State superin-
tendent Of instruction for Washington,
an important and well paid position.
Another prominent woman who began
her life-work as a teacher, and who has
done a tremendous amount for the chill
dren and schools Of her State, Minnesota,
is Mrs. Manley l.. Fosseen, Mrs. Fosseen
has done important work for the santa
tion the hospitals, the welfare Of her com
munity, and her name is one to conjure
with throughout her State.
Teaching as a gate to larger Opportuni-
ties, to wider fields, is worth the consid-
Grafton Of the right kind Of woman. Ten
years given to the work, if she keeps her
mind alert, takes real interest in the
human equation Of her job, and is ready
to snatch at any fine opportunity that
offers, even though it looks difficult, ten
years Of such preparation will make a
woman of value to her country and give
her a position and salary worth pos
sessing.

LETTERS OF TESSIE AND JOE

Dear Joe:
agree with your remarks about not
allowing lndlscrInlnate people 10 kiss the
baby Nobody couldn't be more careful
than | am about keeping him away from
germs. ! make il point 70 boil every
thing that goes anywheres near him. If
boiling is bad for germs | bet I've broke
up more germ families than a lightning
calculator could add up in q week
But of course it "a little harder when it
comes to refusing people that want to
kiss him. That's a case where tact comes
into the argument ] cant very well tell
a woman TO boil her face first, and vet
nothing seems to insult the average woman
more than TO tell her she can't kiss your
baby Men are more sensible that way.
In fact most of them keep so far away
that I'm the one that gets insulted
Well anyway, your Aunt Sophie stopped
IN TO see Baby today, and the first thing |
knew she was aiming kiss at him. Well,
Joe, didn't want to alleviate the affec-
tions of the baby's only rich relation, even
if she Is a hard boiled egg as a philanthro-
fist. And besides she had package about
the shape of present.
"Oh, Aunt Sophie" | says, playful
like. you mustn' do that. Germs viii be
germs, ] says. What's that?" she says
DO you mean to insinuate that have
any?" Can you imagine that, Joe?
"Oh, Aunt Sophie" / says sweet as
ever, you ought to take that as com
pliment. Germs and flies you know they
both like sweet things" ! says. 1t was q
moment for tact, believe me.
With that she gives me one of those
nasty looks that all your side of the family
have at times and goes off in huff and
wish she had taken her present with her
because it WASH t nothing but a skinny lit
tie bib that no self-respecting and 10 cent
