Dull Boys
BY ARTHUR DEAN. sc. d.

b1 An mum DEhrS, oCs -.
THE longer live the less I know.
And am not becoming feeble
minded either II only knew now.
and as positively, what thought /
knew when I was 18!
It was the same way when I first
taught school. I positively knew what
boys would succeed and which would
fail In life. In fact all teachers knew
q great deal about the probable sue
cess of pupils. We knew too much.
Fortunately, o Dartmouth professor
kept a little note book, way back in
1850, of his opinions regarding the
merits Of the young men in his class.
Forty-five years later an enterprising
person thought of the idea of COM
pairing the 1850 opinion" Of the pro-
fessor with the record" of the students
he sized up. 1t Is interesting reading.
George w. C.-Very feeble in mind,
Indifferent to study, and often absent
from college duties. His character
was unimpeached. 1850.
This man was one OF the leading
lawyers of his day." writes the investi-
gator. WAS admitted to practice in
the State supreme court and later
became United States counselor in
the United States Court in Wash
ington."-l895.
Calvin B. H.-Dull, slow, obtuse,
but apparently well meaning and
honest; protesting piety, but prac-
ticing some things inconsistent with
o high degree of it."-1850.
Held several ministries and became
president of a college. e."-1895.
John A. L.-Phlegmatic. inefficient,
often i'll and often absent; not well
prepared when present, giving no great
promise of usefulness for the future.
Serious and orderly in his deport-
ment."-1850.
"A very successful doctor. Was ex-
amining surgeon during the Civil Wai
and examined more than $4,000 men
He became examiner for a large in
surance company, was member Of q
school board, State Legislature and
has a large private practice. 1885.
Now boys, just because these men
who were dull and uninterestine
turned out well in later life, don't
please. use this as an excuse to keep
on doing poorly.
Remember that character, luck
marriage. change of environment
plodding work and application have
q lot to do with success.
Teachers, please keep in mind that
potential abilities are often much
under the surface and do not always
show up in actual school performance

The Old Gardener Saws:

Most of the catalogues indicate
that the fairy lily or zephyranthes
should be planted In the garden,
but there is q better plan. The
flowers are rather ineffective In
the border. although more salts

the bulbs in very large pots or
small tubs, however, and they will
make delightful plants for porch
or steps or sun rooms. If planted
outside they must be dug when
Autumn comes and stored in the
cellar, at least in the North, and
this involves some labor. When
they are In pots or tubs they are
simply moved indoors in these re-
ceptacles. And there they stay,
except that the bulbs should be
divided every two or three years,
as they increase rapidly.

1887 CHEVROLET
MODELS Shown
Many View New Cars at
Motor Service and
Sales Room

The new 1887 Chevrolet, on
display today for the first time
by the Motor Service and Sales,
Incorporated, attracted unusual
attention of admirers of beauti-
full cars and their mechanical per-
Torrance. Large numbers viewed
what is emphasized by the manu-
facturers as "the complete car
completely new"
Six passenger cars and two
trucks were on display, including
the following types: Master de-
luxe sport sedan, master deluxe
town sedan, master town sedan,
master coach, master business
coupe and half-ton pickup
truck and a one-and-one.half-ton
truck.
The cars appeared to splendid
advantage in the spacious show
room, a feature of which was a
large display board attractively
arranged to show mechanical con-
struction to advantage. Parts and
accessories were also attractively
displayed on a series of new met
al tables. '..i
A new feature Of the Motor
Service and Sales parts depart
ment was the new arrangement
under what has been designated
as the modern parts, merchandis-
ing so as to give an attractive
appearance to parts and accessor-
les and to make as strong an eye
appeal as possible to the prospec-
tive customer.
The Chevrolet dealers are plan
ming for the free movietone show
which they will give at their place
Monday night at 1880. The public
is invited to attend this show,
which has been organized by the
General Motors corporation for
the education Of the public in
matters pertaining to the automo-
tive field. ..-.
