'Here is some good advice to parents from an unknown writer:n-1300re you listen to the complaints of your child- ren about the fiendishness of teach- ers, and get all worked up and excited over it, it is better to reflect a little. Remember your own and a half a dozen other cherubs drive you crazy abouit half the time and bear with the teacher who is making for yon intelli- gent, men and women of as unpromi- sing material as you were twenty or thirty yeans ago. Remember that be- sides your own boy, who, of course, everybody knows is an angel, she has to contend with that awful boy of your neighbor's and you know full well what a terror he is. Though the Stratbroy Dispatch haS no reason to comp am 0± its ver ts- ng patronage, judging from the large live advertisements of its business men, it says in its last issue, after quoting the remark of John Wannamaker that when times are chill (incl people are not advertising is the time that advertis- Mg shouldbh heaviest; "Such is the ad- vice given Lby America's merchant prince. Some traders say it don't, pay to advertise. They think they know more than Wanatnaker. That's where they make a hi°. mistake. Wana- maker's advertising has made him rich kind famous.
