No Issues.

"All right. Just remember. My
child has been mistreated. I'm going to
make an issue of this. Believe me you
can't do this and get away with it.
Outrageous"
Now Mrs. Wren, listen. Your child
has been repeatedly told"
II know it. Haven't told him my
self? But is that any reason why she
should make a monkey of him before
the claSs2 Stick a wad of gum on his
nose and make him stand up before the
class? No, sir. And I'm going to make
an issue of this. You'll see whether
you can"
That's too bad. Issues of that kind
mean storm of excitement in the
school, teachers and children take sides,
parents and neighbors take sides, there
are stormy sessions in the board meet
ings-and in the end, teacher is
transferred or a child is removed from
the school.
That does little good and very much
harm. There must be no issues. They
take too much time and energy and
profit nothing. There are a few simple
rules that If followed by teachers and
parents alike, will prevent the issues Of
right and wrong.
First and foremost: There is no such
I0lng as pure TlgIlt ana pure wrong III
this sinful world. Neither teacher nor
child nor parent nor principal, can ever
be wholly right. Let's admit that from
the start, and there will be a basis for
understanding.
Nobody-child, teacher, parent-no-
body-is ever to indulge in personalities.
Personalities are banned from every
game in the world and life is the big
gest and best game Of all. Nobody is
ever to speak his whole mind to any
body else. Nobody is ever to forget the
formalities of social intercourse. That
will prevent many a scene, many an
issue.
Then. ones person is inviolate. No
hands must be laid on another's per-
son. No badge of disgrace is ever to be
placed upon a human being, and that
includes children. To pin a badge OF
disgrace upon child, to put dab of
gum on his forehead, to cause him to
wear any label of shame is unworthy
of the calling of a teacher.
When anger rises, let the teacher
speak the first gentle word. Let the
teacher speak only in gentleness. Is
not that what teacher means? If the
teacher makes a mistake and steps

We pitied rather than admired the little

but you could never make the grade.

trived to get this far in school by

and probably go high in naval circles. !"
Joey began to think the situation over
He determined that If the family was
to be represented at the academy he
would be the representative and not
brother Charley. the natural intellec-
tual. He Immediately sought the ap-
pointment for himself and began to
"bone" for the test. He was appointed
and four years later graduated with
signal honors. His brother, a prodigy,
is working in an obscure job in an
even more obscure town. The naval
officer has long since resigned his COM
mission and Is now the successful head

WHY WE Do WHAT WE DO
BY MEHRAN X. THOMSON.

Being disagreeable is not always an
accident. It is not always caused by
indigestion and other purely physical
causes that sour disposition.
We are all more or less disagreeable
at times to show our resentment. to get
even with some one 1t is form of
bullying And 1t is rather a cruel type
of punishment, 1t releases the poisons
of jealousy, animosity, resentment and
hate.
Disagreeableness is also a sign of
contempt. We are usually disagreeable
toward those whom we have come to
dislike temporarily at least We do
not act that way toward a person we
are cultivating for his money or his
friendship.
We are disagreeable when we care
more for ourselves than for others.
Another object of being disagreeable
is to make others uncomfortable, to
make them feel as badly as you do
Evening star., 1928-11-03

Sometimes this Is motivated by revenge,
sometimes 1t is motivated by the de-
sire to secure company in your miserys
1t is hard to enjoy the blues while others
are in happy frame Of mind. 10
People are sometimes disagreeable TO
those, whom they regard as unworthy Of
consideration
The most interesting phase of being
disagreeable is that it creeps out quite
unconsciouSly from the inward attitude.
If for any reason you dislike person or
are temporarily put out with him you
show this in your manner and conduct
If not in slips of the tongue and other
telltale signs despite yoiir Sgst effort
to cover up your lie feelings. This is
why we ale unusually polite toward
those VIC dislike, to cover our resent
ment without concealing 1t. We rightly
suspect the person who becomes over
polite to us all of a sudden. This is
the worst form of disagreeableness.

The Sidewalks of Washington
BY THORNTON FISHER.

According to a keen student of men
and affairs, most successful persons
have played many roles in the course of
their careers. 1T is a fallacy." said he,
Ito believe that the only way for youth
to attain success is to choose a profess
sion early in life and rigidly adhere to
it. 1 do not mean to be critical of this
theory, but the formula is as variable
as Spring weather. Read the biography
of the average successful man and you
will discover that while he was on the
stage he played numerous parts. Wash
ington was a surveyor farmer, soldier
and statesman, in each of which jobs
he was extraordinarily proficient. Most
famous literary men--and women-are
those, and have been those. who at one
time pursued occupations strangely un-
related to the business of writing A
wide and diversified experience provided
the material with which they entertain
the public. One Of the best known
popular writer's was physician an
other nurse and still another a min

we pried into the affairs of others to

soldier and Spenser was secretary to
