On one of the summer afternoons
whish strayed into last October, the
Rugby teams of St, George's College
and Hillsdale' School met for tbo first
rnateh of the season.
Tho air was almost: oppressively

Jim Carter CatSt. George's,

strolled down` to the field with his
roommate, Gordon White,
"Darn bad luck that Brent can't
play," observedGordon,"but ip'
s got
ouch a sore boil on his leg-thatthe
matron won't let him out of bed. It's
saved my buying new stockings,
though; I'd lost one of mine and'Brent
lent me his."

many chaps have boils when they are
in training, You'd think they should
be free from ;all those diseases, and
yet every year, one or more of the
team: is taken ill like this."
"Ys," replied Gordon, . "young Bill
Davis told me that he has two small

how proud we were of it! It was ours

Then the last night came,supper

'The Home and the- School
Earnest parents, who would appreci-
ate -the problems of the school depart-
ment, and who really want to assist
the work of education, may find some
of the following suggestions helpful:.
Don't :expect the teacher to control
your child it You have -failed at homo:
Habits of -obedience and respect for
authority must be. learned first, at
home. •
Father's; Imow your sons, ' Mothers,
know your daughters, Children who
have been taught always to'confide in,
their parents can be trusted anywhere.
Find some, daily , home duties or
-chores for your boy and glrl.to do, and
they will come to appreciate in some
degree the sarciflces -you are making
for them,
Don't give children much spending
money. Let them earn it; otherwise
an excellent opportunity to acquire the
habit of thrift is i'ost. "
Where children' are far enough ad-
vanced to have home -study, be sure
that they regularly set aside the same
time for it every day, Regularity is a
good habit to acquire. .
- 'Don't believe every' report your
child brings home: Children do not
all lie, but most children have a strong
imagination which, tends to -operate in
their own favor when they are guilty.
Don't take the, part of your .child
against the teacher before hearing
both' Sides; In 'nine cases out of ten
you. will lbnd to your embarrassment
that your child was wrong; and in the
tenth case it 24 better to suffer a. slight
injustice than to destroy the teacher's
influence over' him.'
It yell have a complaint to make,' go
first to the principal of' the school, :not
to the superintendent, •.a- board mem,
ben, or tile editor of the. newspaper,
Tho principal knows the facts best and
can give the readiest relief. By giv-
ing the
iv-ing-the. principal the first opportunity
to answer your complaint you help to
preserve cordial relations between the
home, and school. That helps your
child, and that is the main thing.
Don't expect miracles. - Not all ohild-

Don't --apply the adult standard to

The Helping Hand.
The boys started off for a walk•one
Saturday afternoon. Their path led
them out into the wooded hills add up
the rocky glens of their native state,
Pennsylvania, Toward evening, tired
from their exertions, they found :a
place high 6n a,hilldlde overlooking a
valley. Stone had once been cut from
the spot, leaving a straight wall ten
or fifteen Peet high :with 'sharp rocks
at the foot. A great oak that had
grown upfrom the bottom sent an arm
out above the wall, and the boys lost
no time in scrainbling upon it.
As they were looking out across the
valley the younger boy suddenly lost
his balance and began to slip back-
ward. There was nothing for him to
catch: Ile was frightened at the
thought of the shary rooks beneath
and did not even try to circle the limb
with his arms. Just' then the older
boy turned and in the nick of time
shot out his arni,grasped the shoulder
of his no)irpanion and pulled him back,
Some time afterwards the younger
boy, remembering the event, remark-
ed to,his friend; "I don't know what
would have happened to me that time
if you hadn't reached out your hand
Just when you did. I guess I should
have fallen!"

lived. over the cliff of temptation, and
thereare thousands who need 'a help-

look may save then; the companion-
ship of an hour .may save then. Or it
may take years of effort.. But when
your life comes to its close, if there
are Sonne to say to you, "I think I
should have fallen if you had not
reached out your hand just when you
did!" oh, 1t will repay you a thousand-
fold! ,
