name of more sturdy extraction
Somewhere among the medieval
progenitors of the families which to-

either followed the profession of MAX

Sometimes the word meant the maker
OF armor; sometimes it represented
an office Of Importance. as the courts

The family names Of Armour and
Armer do not fall in the rather small
class of family names which can be
traced back to an origin with a single
family. Undoubtedly the name sprang
into being as a hereditary surname
in many places and at different
formation. Just why the occupation
of certain individual in a family
line should have been the one to
develop the hereditary name for his
poster1ty, ana not the occupation OF
his son, or his father, is u matter
which only on intimate knowledge
Of the specific family history can

might have been an arrowsmith, ana
his son a weaver, yet 1t would be the
armorer's occupation which would
crystallize into family name born by
the weaver-son and ali posterity. 1t

My children were taught very early
to tell time. I bought them a very
attractive clock and encouragedthem
to consult 1t frequently. They learned
to do tasks by the clock and to
apportion their time. When they
were old enough to start to school it
was easy for them to learn just how
much time they needed to spend get
ting ready. Their little clock had
made promptness a habit with them.
