Do these boys write a good hand, do they spell with accuracy and cipher with reasonable speed? Have the boys been taught the value of a bright face, 'a milling manner, a kindly l ut not nece..sarily servile presence ? If the public schools haee taught the bele to read, write and spell to be courteous in speech and kindly in meaner they have given the rocipients of etch teaching a great advanc a„ e over the uncouth clock watching lout of an office boy, who lolls in his chair. with a peak cap pulled down over his eyes and his mouthfull o1' chewing gum. The boys who are trained for battle of lite in the schools and homes are handicapped unless they are taught the dollars and cents value of-courtesyand wil- lingness to work: The pure gold of genuine ability and worth may bury itself.' inside of the externals of crude and sullen speech, lazy manner and slouchy appearance, but the schools and homes .have failed in their duty if they have not . taught the coy to let the true worth of his ability and character shine in his speech and ac- tion, Crediton Henry Sweitzer and Ezra Oestrei- cher lest for the west on Saturday en a business trip.
