WHERE PARENTS COME IN
In a certain Ontario city a High
School Principal was greatly annoy-
ed by the persistency of . complaints
conning from the home of a few of
the students in his school. The prin.
cipat is a wise teacher and instead of
losing his .temper and taking out his
grudge against the parents on the
students, he prepared a printed ques-
tic5nnaire which he sent to the par-
ents of all those who were attendiaig
his school. Needless to say, the "fu-
ture complaints wer, very few. Here
is .what he asked them:
x. Do 'you visit the school to in-
quire about your child's progress and
deportment and tosee if you can,
help the teacher to help' the child?
z. Do you encourage your child in
respect for teachers'; and others in
authority?
3, Do you send your child to bed
in time so that he will be rested and
fit for study?
4. to you provide plain, nourish-
ing food and see that your child is',
up in time to eat a good breakfast?
S. Do you teach your chile] to read
the paper and find out the best in
them, and do you encourage an. inter-
est in public affairs?
6. Do you avoid ,gossip and telling
of incidents which may 'be misinter-
preted by your children?
7. Do you interest yourself in
your child's sports and amusements
and friendships?
S. Do you encourage helpful con-
versation at the table?
g. Do you comply with the rules
on public health in your home, and
do you keep in mind the fact that
while the school may do larch to in-
stil the right principles, your child-
ren are handicapped if you do not
support it instilling obedience and
high ideals of patriotism and person-
al life?
THE MAIDEN'S PRAYER
(By Bill Rendered)
Oh, Lord, send me a man that is
just awfully nice, and let him wltis-
per those three little words to ine,
and place a diamond upon nay finger
that will be the envy ..of every girl
who hasn't one.
Let me have 'a little 'party and an-
nounce my engagement to the girls,
the maid of'. honor, :and those who
will be the bridesmaids. Then let
me send the engagement announce-
meat to the 'newspaper for the whole
world to read, hoping much that all
will see it.
Oh, Lord, let me have a' wedding
and invite those that I wish and snub
thosewho have snubbed ane. Let me
give to several girls, including one
that has a very expensive car, the
privilege of delivering the invitations:
And. after the wedding and recep-
tion are both over and the guests
have all gone and any husband takes
me in his arms and kisses me while
we, wait for the car that is to convey
us to the railway station and the train
on which wewill embark for our 1to.1

why, just leave the rest to me. Amen.

THE TROUBLES IN CHINA
(St, Marys Journal)
Mr, P. J. Brown, of St. Marys, is in
receipt of the following letter from
his daughter in China, written De-
cember '.17th., in which she tells
something of the trying conditions
there, these revolutionary days:—'
Dear Home People,—
My last letter to you was rather
exciting, but it was not half as excit-
ing as the real events, I ani glad to
say that things have settled : down
very much since then.
The arrival of the official in the
early hours of that morning saved
us a looting without a doubt. 1±e
came in and announced that his
troops were just behind. The thous-
and of 'Wu's men fled at once as they
had no desire for fight.' As a matte,-
of
atterof fact the troops did not arrive un-
til five the next evening.
you will remember that I told you
that I made twoattempts to get to
school the next morning and it was
after ten before the gates were open-
ed and I. got into the city. It was
then that I heard that the new official
had arrived and had taken up office.
I found school going with about for-
ty pupils and so we carried on all
