Simple enough replied the
SQuirter. "An ordinary working

nothing to think about except where
to distribute it. Not so with his
wife. In most cases she has work

ed worried and fretful. a strong

begins to get jealous. But it doesn't
do much good for a woman who has
worked herself to death to make a
hcme and raise a family of kids to
get jealous, when the old mans got
up interest in a gay young flapper.
Pretty soon his wife begins to listen
to younger men who tell her how
terribly she's been neglected and
misunderstood. SO there you go.
We're just going too fast, too many

children study some of their lessons
at home. We do not ask you to
teach them their lessons but see
that they have quiet place to study

Grade pupils should study from 20

should study one hour. Grammar
Grade pupils should study from one
to one and half hours. High
school students should study from
two to three hours.
When pupils tell you that they
have prepared all lessons in school
hours, you can readily see that two
or three study periods do not af-
ford sufficient time to prepare their
lessons. Please examine the month

principals are always ready to hear
any complaint, and patrons are re-

about any subject pertaining to the
best interest of the pupils.
DO. not expect satisfactory re-

nights on the streets or at moving

pupils who do so.
Parents are most earnestly re-
