Love, Courtship and Marriage,
held by a student pastor of the
Presbyterian church in Corvallis,
Ore.
Character" was placed as the
prime prerequisite of their life
partner by sc men. Women select
ed honesty as the first quality.
This was rated second by men,
and personal %neatness' took
third place, according to the re-
port of the scoring. Education
tied with honesty and good health
for third place among the women.
Comradeship rated high with both
men and women, ranking fourth in
importance in the minds of men
and 9Th with the goods. Accord
ing to the survey, the men are
looking for good home makers. BY
this it is understood that they
mean young women who know
how to do a reasonable amount of
household work and r ready to
give themselves to that rather
than to a career.
A few of the teachers and high
school girls are training for the
annual Stampede. Better order
some ten gallons" and a little
oats. We suppose Uncle Sam will
be busy carrying a few western
poses to the home-folks.
The Bainville school has a first
rate tennis court on its school
grounds.
A few of our high school boys
"warmed-up" on the golf links
over the Easter vacation.
Our local declamatory contest
will be Tuesday, April 29. The
winner will represent the high
school at Missoula.
There has been, as many of you
know, a national movement of
Character Education in the public
schools. Each year there has been
more and more interest in this
movement.
The character traits, shown on
the back of each report card sent
out in the Wolf Point school, are
Courtesy, Cooperation and Depend
ability. This is the first step in
the construction of a definite pro-
gram of character training for I'll
school. 1t will take several years
to build UP such a program. The
system we plan to build will be
gradually perfected through sew
eral years of experience in work
ing out practical classroom exer-
cises for the primary and gram
MAI grades.
Two great obstacles to the de-
velopment of instruction in char
acter building are the lack of a
specific aim and the inability of
the teachers to provide ready ma
terial. When there is no program
no permanent good can be accom-
plished.
We believe that whenever a
principle of character grows into
the everyday life of the child, it
usually remains as long as he
lives. 1t was Edward Everett who
said, "a great character, founded
on the living rock of principle,
survives the man who possessed
it; survives his age-perhaps his
country, his language.
The Arabs say: 1.-THE World is
sustained by four things the
learning of the wise, the justice
of the great, the prayers of the
good, and the valor of the brave"
