The present je l« eminently a practical one and v|«w«ver much one may know in regard fo (lie past he can nit afford to ignore |ms«ing events. A little girl at school read thus: "The kidow lived on a llmbacy left her by H relative*" "What do yon call that y Jvord?*v asked the teacher; Mthe word ^p§s legacy, not' llmbacy^' "Biifr," said :|iie little girl, "my sister fays j must Ipay limb, not leg." gp Speaking of the force of habit, re- ^Jttinds us of an cx-fchool teacher, now §ejoici»g in a husband much taller than i, Jjierself, who, when about to ldfs h|m ;;tt the altar, pulled Ills heaty down to Iters by one ear. ^ / p A San Francisco School Commission. ;f||r put it this way at a recent meeting ^|j>f the Board of Education • btj A good mechanic gets 94 per day, of #24 per week. A smart boy learns his " trade in about three years. A school " teacher enters school at six years of i 4&e ant* remains there until about Eighteen, before he or she is qualified to tcatih. and then gets #35 per month, e did not believe that a mechanic wish to reduce a woman's salary finder these circumstances. And the Board didn't njow sala- ' . ?*\ ties. WHAT BOYS SHOULD BE. First: Be true--he genuine. No ed­ ucation is worth anything that does ^||iot include this. A mau had better 'piiot kuow how to read--he had better ||ever learn a letter of the alphabetT be true and genuine in intention in action, rather than being learn- j||d 1n all sciences and in all languages, io be at the same time false ia heart x,mnd counterfeit in life. _ 1 *% _ f «« ' "i" « ' oecuiiu; i>c pure iu tuougiit, isrr '(fuage--pure in mind and body. An " in pure man, young or old, poisoning ',AIhe society where he moves with smut­ ty stories and impure examples, is a inoral ulcer, a piagne spot, a leper who #ugbt to be treated as were the lepers M old. • Third: Be unselfish. To care for the lee lings and comforts of others. To • |»e polite. To be just in all dealings i th others. To be generous, noble nd manly. # * Fourth: Be self-reliant and self- lie lpful even from early childhood.-- jTo be industrious always, and self-eup- |>orting at the earliest proper age.-- .'%'each them that all honest work is liouorable, and tliat an idle, useless life of dependence on others is dls- . graceful. * '00: Wheit a boy has learned these four , things, when lie has made these ideas / 0 part of his being--however young he v-liiay be, however poor, or however rich y^tMie has learned some of the most itn- - |>ortant things he ought to know when lie becomes a man.--Home Art*. \ The question **Ought text-books to |»e supplied gratuitously to all chil- Hren in the public schools tn has been Irell answered by Prof, Homer B. fe prague, in a paper read at the Massa- - fhusetU State Teachers' Association ; ; (last December, and published in pam- v |)hlet by Ginn& Heath, Boston.
