ette in the story of his life expresident coolidge has told us that for his first two years at amherst couege his marks were only fair although he studied hard he grew a little disheartened and if his father had not encouraged him would probably have left college in his junior year however those months of hard work began to tell his standings un proved and in the end mr cooudge graduated with bhe coveted cum laude no one can say what difference it would have made if young cooudge had become discouraged and dropped out of college but certainly accepting defeat is jiot a good way to prepare for a great place it is more than likely thatthe fathers words of encouragement taken in connection with the young mans faithful work made a president in view of all that encouraging words mav accomplish it is strange that so few of us take the trouble to speak them the knowitaix attitude you cant teu him anything is one of the severest criticisms that can be passed on any youth as it proves him both conceited and shortsighted it shows him ignorant for there is no more convincing proof of ignorance than the knowitall attitude some of the worlds greatest men have been glad to confess their debt to very humble inconspicuous associates in stead of assuming that nobody can tell them anything they gs on the principle that everyone can teu them something and whoever they meet they assume the attitude of learner no wonder such- men grow wise for au they meet con tribute something to the storehouse of their knowledge it you make people feel that they cannot tell you anything you are dwarfing your growth and limit ing your knowledge grades in good manners au good manners are important but some good manners are more important than others the girl who would not for worlds eat with her knife may be guilty or correcting her mothers grammatical slips in pubuc in comparison with such an outrageous breach of the proprieties the faulty table manners seem nothing at all one may- possess superficial good mannersomplying with the require ments laid down in books of etiquette and be guilty of gross discourtesy do not undervalue the superficial poute- ness for that is an important branch of your education but do not put good table manners above the kindly spirit which avoids hurting the feelings of an other as itwould avoid a- crime shell find it dear old ladyrcaptain
