Notice to Parents
It is a school rule that all pupils
shall go directly home after dismis
sal from school. They are under the
jurisdiction of the school authorities
until they have reported to their pa
rents. After that they are free to do
whatever the parents see fit to allow.
In the past this rule has been much
more honored in the breach than in
the observance, largely because pa
rents have failed to inform them
selves as to how and where their chil
dren spend the time intervening be
tween the dismissal from school and
fthe family dinner hour.
^ Hereafter any child who is detained
at school over fifteen minutes for
work of any kind will be given a de
tention slip, properly dated and signed
by the teacher who detains him or
her, and showing the exact time of
leaving school.
It will require no more than fifteen
minutes for those pupils who live
farthest away to report at home. Ex
cept in special cases, in which the
parent has asked the child to run an
errand or has given him special per
mission to visit with friends without
first reporting at home, the child who
does not report promptly should be
asked for his detention slip in case
the excuse is made that he has been
kept after school.
Cases may be cited in which pupils
have told parents they remained at
school to do certain work, when as a
matter of fact they have not done so,
but have spent the time after school
hours in ways and in places of which
no sane parents would approve if they
knew.
Parents, this is a vital matter con
cerning the welfare of your children.
But it is just one more case in which
school authorities can do little with
out your co-operation. May we not
counfupon your assistance? If upon
inquiry your child gives you a de
tention slip, kindly sign it and see that
it is returned to the teacher the fol
lowing morning.

‘ The United States is not alone in
her interest in character education in
schools. Professor W. F. Osborne, of
Manitoba University was in Washing
ton during the summer in the inter
ests of a national conference in Can
ada to be held in October. A sum of
$5|000 has been raised for the confer
ence, and the Rotary Clubs of Canada
have subscribed $70,000 to back up
> the establishment of a Canaddian bu
reau of character education for citi
zenship. General approval of the
project has been expressed by educa
tional, church and government lead
ers, and the conference program will
emphasize the necessity for character
education of all children, in order to
secure general reliability of charac
ter and loyalty to Canadian ideals.”

Once some little slum children with
whom Alice Freeman Palmer was
working begged her to tell them how
to be happy. So she gave them three
rules, admonishing them that these
rules must be kept every day, not
skipping a single day, else they would
not work. The rules were these:
1. Commit something to memory
every day—something good. It needn’t
be much; three or four words will
do, just a pretty bit of a poem or a
Bible verse.
2. Look for something pretty every
day; and don’t skip a day, or it won’t
work. A leaf, a flower, a cloud—you
can all find something.
3. Do something for somebody ev
ery day—now mind, don’t skip a day.”

language, the greatest story-teller of
the ages, the apostle of kindness, the
orator of tolerance, the minstrel of
love.”

It All Rests with You
It’s all up to you to succeed or to fail,
To sit down and grumble or take to
the trail;
To climb to the heights or to sit down
supine
Far below where the rays of the
“* morning sun shine on the steeps.
It isn’t genius or talent at all
* That takes a man up where the
morn’s voices call;
It’s just work and more work and
still work all the time.
Will you sit still forever or start out
and climb?

Forming His Habits
(Barth Wm. O’Eoughlen)
Nov. 21, 1919.
Every boy forms his own habits,
and little John was forming his. He '
didn’t know which to choose, good
or bad English. i
"Choose me,” sai i Good English.
“Do you want to be a good citizen,
and doesn’t a good citizen use proper
grammar?”
“Choose me,” exclaimed Bad Eng
lish. “Ain’t it easier to speak like
you want; and ain’t my way easiest?”
“It you don’t speak good English
others will not, and soon we will not
be able to understand our neighbors.
But choose for yourself!”
“I choose Good English,” John re
plied. “I see that it is no harder to
use good English than to use bad
English, and is a much better habit
to form.”

How We Observed “American Speech
Week” in Cordova
(John Rosswog, H. S.)
The first week of December, being
American Speech Week for the Alaska
schools, the Cordova school tried to
make that week a complete success.
Posters of many varieties were
drawn by the pupils, and prizes were
given for the best two. These posters
were hung upon the walls in different
parts of the building. One of these

jjjj i “ ‘Of course you employ a

:* I that’s the unusual part of it.
ijij § I don’t. I’ve simply found a
ijij | new way for gaining ten hours
ijij | a week—that is, it is a new
ijij I way to me. I have learned
ijij | what real Family Laundry
jjjj | Service is.
jjij | “I used to labor eight to ten
ijij | hours on Monday 6ver boilers
jjij | and washtubs and be simply
ijij | played out for the balance of
the week. Now I send every
thing— clothing, bed clothes,
table linen and household arti
cles to the laundry.
“ The laundry does all the most
toilsome work of washing for
me, leaving to me only the
finishing of some of the smaller
pieces. Everything is washed
most beautifully. The flat
pieces come back ironed more
daintily than I could do tjhem
myself. The towels are de
livered as snowy and fluffy as
can be, while the miscellan
eous pieces, like skirts and
shirtwaists, are returned all
nicely starched, ready for me
to iron.
“Isn’t it a sensible arrange
ment ? And the cost is so
moderate.”
This is the experience of hun
dreds of thrifty housewives
who send us their weekly
washing. Call us up and let
us tell you more about this
ideal service.
