ADMIT IT AND FIND OUT. Once I heard about a great scientist who modestly replied to a question on his own subject, “I don’t know.” He was praised because of his humility. There are times when to admit that one does not know, is wise and necessary. Certainly it is better in many instances to admit that you don’t know and openly seek information, than to pretend an understanding which you don’t have, and later make a blunder. Don’t be willing to say, “I don’t know” more than once. Find out what you can, guess what you must, but don’t always answer, “I don’t know.” —Lois Peterson. A RAINY DAY. At day-break the sky was full of floating clouds. In the east the big sun shone dimly through a mist, and sent its red rays far up into the sky, but it was soon hidden under the fast gathering clouds. In a short time the blue sky had disappeared from sight. A slow drizzling rain set in, the cattle gathered under the shelter of an old oak tree; the birds hushed their singing and all was silent save for the slow pat-pat of the raindrops. During the greater part of the day the dark clouds hung very low. At frequent intervals they grew somewhat lighter and the rain came more slowly, but soon they would take their former appearance and again the rain came faster. Toward sunset the clouds began to break and once more the sun shone down upon the earth, but just for a few moments for it was soon lost below the horizon. At dusk there was a heavy mist and through it bright lights twinkled in the neighboring farmhouses. —Sarah Page. WHAT HAVE YOU ACCOMPLISHED THIS YEAR? Can you study? By this I mean can you study systematically? Are you able to study without much time wasted in preparation? We should accomplish this in a short time. “Practice makes perfect”—so practice studying. Above everything have your mind on your work! When you read—think—and record it, then it will be easily remembered. After studying, can you recite well in class? Without any nervousness, are you able to face a class and tell what you know? We should if we have studied well. We should know our subject so thoroughly that we could talk without any hesitation. In class, we should not dispute any one’s word although we do not believe it. Use manners everywhere! Are you courteous at a school party? We should always be courteous to each other as well as to the hosts. At the close of such a party every-
