(Kirkwood Corr, Monmouth Atlas.
Professor Grove, superintendent OF
the Kirkwood schools said about the
wisest thing The Atlas reporter heard
yesterday. He said that he had been try
ing to impress upon the minds OF the
high school students the truth of the old
adage, satin still finds some mischief
for idle hands to do" He knows Of peo-
pie who will sit idle for hours at time
instead Of reading or spending their
spare time in some profitable way. 1t -
how & person uses his spare time that
makes or breaks him.
IT is our feeble opinion that the man who
wins the greatest success doesn't recognize
such a commodity as spare time"

Then by bed our prayers are said.
And on a bed we die.
