More than likely. that would result
in cheating by other pupils. Further
more, Mary would have been branded
"chcatcr" as a consequence of being
rcprlmanded for dishonesty. That
would probably have driven her to
further underhand deeds.
SO Miss Bruce ignored the act
seemingly. But at the close of the
lesson period she allowed Mary to
collect the papers from the class. As
the little girl handed them to her. the

Says High Ideals

BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Who Occupies Unique Position in

thority on Love and Mar
riage

Deep in the nature of every normal
girl is planted the vital need of self
respect. II she sacrifices self-respect,
all the praise and honors and money
in the world will not make her really
happy, because secret discomfort, dis
satisfaction and self-contempt will
gnaw at her heart.
Even love is bought at too high a
price when it means the sacrifice of
self-respect. For self-rcspect is a law
of nature. If we break this law we
incur penalty, since nature is ruth
less. And that penalty brings suffer
ing.
During countless generations WON.

experience. that they must respect
themselves as women if they hope to
safeguard the health and peace, joy
and purity of love and children and
life itself.
This instinct Of honor is too deep.
ly planted to be lightly violated by
any girl. A woman may manage to
live content without the love of man.

type.
In your case. for your income. the
