Wisdom and Ignorance

A wise man knows an ignor
ant one because he has been
ignorant himself; but the TO-
norant cannot recognize the
wise man because he has new
er been wise.
We learn wisdom from fail
ure much more than from sue
cess. We often discover what
will do, by finding out what
will not do; and probably he
who never made a mistake,
never made a discovery.

A Parental Objection

A Chicago teacher gave a

which was in substance: "Hov'
long would it take a certain

hours a day to complete a GER

The next morning the pupil
handed the teacher a note
written by the boys father:
Dear sid, / refuse to let
my son James do his sum you
gave him last night as it looks
to me like a slur on the 8-hour
system. Any sum not more
than 8 hours, he is welcum to
do, but not more"
