,u have a child to educate.

 You want that child to grow up well hammered, purposeful, active, intelligent and capable.
 These attributes are hard to cul- tivate Tn many children. but once acquired, they make men and women. who become worth while citizens.
 Now considering, that you desire these things for your little folks. what sort of teacher must you seek Look squarely into the eyes of Miss Faye Emond of the Lakeview school. and be very merry if your child has the opportunity to be under her juris- d.ction.
 For she is one. of the finest and most successful teachers in the whole Birmingham district.
 First of all, she looks upon your child as a potentiality. She con siders his talents and qualifications. She very exactly studies his draw backs and his disposition. Then she sets herself to correct his mistakes ito make as nearly a perfect indi-. yidual as she can out of him.
 Deep Sincerity And. oh, along with this. she car ries that deep. earnest sincerity that goes home to every student, Illus trated best by the fact that she never scolds a child in the presence of his companions.
 Out into the hall she will go with an obstreperous or an idle child, and after she looks straight into his eyes once and asks him:
 Don't you absolutely know that I have your best interest at heart2s he never can forget it.
 The way he responds, in spite of himself. is:
 ''Yes, Miss Emond,P and very often there come tears to that childish facN He feels her eandor and square-deallng.
 In this way, faith and trust stIaightway are born. and receptive soil of soul is created wherein Miss Fmond may plant sturdy flowers of character that never will fade as long as their owners finger here in this little vale of strangely queer things, which in reality is only the prep school for Gods bigger things over there.
 A heart as warm as a big sun twinkling eyes--a brain that thinks it's way out of difficulties, and q mind that believes in the mastering of details-that in part, describes Miss Emond.
 Reasons For Success
 In addition to these things, the main reasons for her abnormal sue. cess are these:
 She deals exactly fairly and favoritlea Are they not all the Masters little souls of promise?
 She demands good lessons.
 If children do not study, she makes them feel that they are wasting their own time and their parents money, and that If they miss days work, they are really losing something that Uncle Sam himself wants them to have, since they are to take charge of his work.
 She also emphasizes that they may never have such school opportunity again, and that better than fine gold is the assembling of knowledge Ill the mind. How graceful an asset, how fine a gift-that of quick and sensitive thought--fine reparteel A lease on happiness it furnishes be- cause no one can control the bound aries, or set a limitation, on thought. What little world of fine things can the thinker, the reasoner, the imaginer dwell in,
 And Miss Emond so wants her little folks to be heir to such little worlds!
 Sense of Humor
 Probably one of the greatest forces for success in anything is a sense of humer That Miss Enond has, and stresses in her school work. And never think that she is the new fangled sort of teacher who doesn't believe in discipline. The Bible very plainly remarks; Spare the rod and spoil the child" and Miss Emond knows that avery wise creator inspired that. "Sometimes that's tre very last and only way to get results,' she related her whole soul in her words. "I don. like to punish, but when l am driven to the climax of whether I am going to do the best for the child or get by ] the easiest way for myself, l decide on the best interests, of the student.
