CIinues in B. HI. s.

CIiques i'm b. Fl. $.
The prevalent spirit in B. II. s. is, on
the whole, to be commended, although at
times it is to be reproyed.
OF course, there are many groups of
pupils who naturally cling together, as
we might say they do. They form
cliques, but, on the other hand, very few
people are excluded from any or all of
these groups. Really the cliques in b
II. S. are not really dangerous and no
great disastrous effects seem to result
from them, but warning ought to be
issued now, telling of the dangers of Il
strong clique
Therefore. the pupils of B. II. S
should strive to be more broad-minded
about such things
If you have an opinion upon certain
subject or have formed an estimate OF
this or that persons character which
seems to you to be perfectly reasonable
question yourself further. Are You sure
