MARY STRONG TALKS
The Man If MART and De-

Fools usually get along without
too much tripping and with a max
imum Of aids and consultations
The world feels sorry for them
and therefore, helps them because
they offer no challenge. On the
other hand, the man of promise
is ambitious and strives for goals
He is therefore, impeded, if often
hindered, discouraged, threatened
or even killed. l am reminded OF
a saying by Jean de la Bryuer
which is perfectly epitomized
thus: Il am told so many i'll things
OF man, and see so few in him,
that I begin to suspect he has a
real but troublesome merit as be-
ing likely to eclipse that of
others"

Rearing children is the most
relentlessly logical process on
earth. s. A mother always reapsI
what she has sown."
PREPARATIONS FOR FIRST
CLASS CITIZENSHIP MOST
IMPORTANT in our preparations
to share in the Better Life" that
is guaranteed ALL AMERICANS
by our constitution, is that our
children who are to be benefited
most, be TAUGHT at the earliest
age possible, the RESPONSIBLE
TIES that 60 with such Rights
and Privileges. be taught, and
prepared for SOCIAL CONTACT
WITH THE REST OF THE
WORLD. For, no matter with
whom our children are associated
-. whether they live in segre-
gated or integrated world, their
ability to get along with people,
will determine in a large meas
ure the better life" we wish for
them. . GOOD MANNERS are
important and necessary in the
growth and development of our
children and it is well for
parents to remember that good
manners, to become habitual and
instictive, must be ingrained In!
a child from his earliest years =.
the way to achieve this is through
consistent daily example on the
part of the parents. What a.
child becomes accustomed to in
his home, he does spontaneously
among strangers. Charming,
courteous manners in children,
indicate charming manners in
those who bring them up . F.. !
writer, Nella Brady has said,
"Children do not snatch the torchI
of good behaviour from some
burning bush 1t is handed
down to them. Parents must re-
member that the child whose
manners are neglected is bound
to suffer for it later in life when
he is ready to enter the world of
men and women and be one of
them. Any teacher will tell
YOU that his great trouble is with
the child who comes to school
an dthen must begin to LEARN
the rules of the game of life, in
stead of knowing them instinc-
lively. Parents, in preparing
our children for First Class Citi-I
zenship, let us ever remember
it is OUR DUTY to teach
them the accepted principles of
RIGHT and WRONG to be-
the Interpreter of the TRADI-l
TIONAL LAWS OF SOCIETY ...l
to show our youngsters that
RUDENESS and DISCOURTESYl
bring their own unpleasant con-
sequences. =.
A JOB FOR THE PARENTS
TO DO 1t has come to our
attention that in a CAFE located
near one of the city's schools,
BEER and even stronger drinks
are being SOLD to teenagers
We have no definite proof Of this
situation, but have our informa-
ton from sources we consider
most reliable. IF THIS Is
TRUE, we think the parents Of
Jackson have a job to do. The
general conduct of many of our
school children, especially in the
higher grades is certainly that
which most of us must be ashame
F. but there are many conditions
over which the Principals and
Teachers have absolutely NO
CONTROL the job is that or
the PARENTS. Any parent
interested enough in his or her
child to want to know more
about what we have mentioned
above is invited to call or contact
us.
