TEACHING QUE BOYS AND GIRLS
 Dear Editor and Corner Sisters: As
 Memorial day is near, the thought of it's
 great meaning inspires me to write a
 few words, although words cannot ex-
 press It's great meaning to me. feel
 deeply the influence of the noble lives in whose memory it is being celebrat-
 ed, The influence and sacrifice of those
 men of true hearts, who had great prin- ciples and noble purposes, who did not
 count their own lives dear unto them
 selves but their desire to make their country safe, pure and good and free, was far greater than their lives.
 Now shall their lives have been spent in vain? would that every young fath- CT and mother, who have boys under their influence. teach them and instruct | them to be true and thoughtful for oth- CTS. The Golden Rule can transform l nation if lived by each individual It is called the Golden Rule because it is the best rule needed by every one. We
 should teach our boys and girls to be kind, to overcome evil with good Some say, if one does an unkindness to an 1 other, the one injured must retaliate, he has got to stand up for his rights In nlne cases out of ten if the one injured 1 returns the act in kindness, he brings remorse to the injurer and there are no harsh words and unkind thoughts to be
 straightened out after. Only in case of self defense is 1t necessary to stand up for ones rights. If the young lead
 this how much happier they will be.
 As some one has already written, have
 them respect the teacher in school,
 showing them the teacher is trying to
 help them. To obey rules, they are for
 their own good and to all one can to ! z5- mi. IT.1
 that are now small when grown will live
 in peace and good will.
 , know it Is sometimes difficult to
 have the young do just as we would have them but prayer and patience will
 win out, and keep them in the right way. believe 1t is important to teach them
 to be truthful and to keep their word
 Doing so ourselves goes 8 long way to . help them do 90. Also show them that 1 we care. The story is told of a young
 boy in college that was or seemed to be very bad. The more he was pun ished in different ways for breaking ] rules and being disobedient apparently
 the worse he was. He was not that , way at first but the principal was very ! cross and strict and one day while his class was out playing bali, he was kept ) in on account of bad behaviour. One oi the teachers, kind little lady who ha6
 noticed his actions of late, felt sorry tc ? see him going the way he was, came IT f and sat near him while he was alone iT : the room. She had a long talk witl } him, telling him she was sorry to se, 2 him shut In and failing with his studies l He told her no one cared, what difference, 2 did 1t make. She told him the principal, 2 only child was seriously i'll, the crisi n vas to be that night. and being IT [ nights was 8 great strain on him ant
 nearly upset him. The boy vas sur prised to hear of that She told him hoy she knew he could study and win ou 7 and that he had the making of a nobl 1. man. She trusted him to do better am q said, q know you will not fall me" H | sat for a long time in Seep thought an did not know that any one cared. H ! ! was different boy after that. The prin , cipaI told him soon after he was rathe :, | harsh, but sickness in the family wa I ! largely responsible. The boy did wi a :. out and made good.
 ee I believe many times kindness will q 7 more than we realize and in showin {. the young what the great men have don 7 for our country, will inspire the boy
 and girls to follow in their steps, an
 what they suffered ara thought fo us shall not have been done in vain. F SPRY BIRD.
