Pupils Write Better with
STEEL PENS
that require less inking and flow
easier mean better penmanship. That's
why Gillott's are the standard in bo many
schools. They assure neatness, accuracy and
better band-writing.
Specify Gillott's Pens for your classes. Send
10c for a sample set of 8 pens. Try them
and note the improvement.

A General Letter to Parents and
Guardians
Every student writes his own recommendation,
figuratively speaking-.
He does this by his application, conduct,
piogress, attitude, etc., from
the first day he enters school until
the last day he is here.
Of course, a great deal depends on
the student's educational foundation
when he comes to us—how thorough
he is in English; how well he can
spell, his abilit.v to punctuate, etc.;
how good he is in Mathematics; the
kind of handwiiting he has. While
we TEACH all of these subjects, we
have many students who feel that
they do not NEED them and it is
difficult to get them to take the
propel' interest. Moreover, it must
be remembered that our main job is
to teach students the major subjects
—Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Typewriting,
etc. Furthermore, we cannot
teach the student a great deal about
the fundamental subjects—the things
they are supposed to get before they
come to us— in a few weeks or a few
months.
Then, there are several OTHER
things that play a very important
pait in each student's success; namely,
ambition, courage, persistence,
personality, and initiative.
AMBITION is the "driving force"
in one's life—the spark that makes
one "keep on keeping on." COUR-
AGE and PERSISTENCE are requii-ed
not only in finishing one's
course, but, like PERSONALITY,
they play an important part when it
comes to GETTING A JOB.
We may ti'ain the student the best
we can—the best he will let u.s—and
we can, through the prestige we have
built over the past 40 years and the
methods used by our Employment
Department, get calls for oui' graduates;
but, we cannot make an employer
hire any certain person. That's
the student's or graduate's job—and
we teach Salesmanship and Personality
Development in order to HELP
him to do that.
We are not trying to "pass the
buck," but we do want both the student
as well as the parent or guardian,
to know that he or she must be
QUALIFIED from a knowledge-andskill
standpoint, as well as from a
personality standpoint; and, that we
must have the COOPERATION of
the student and parent or guai-dian,j|
in order to assure our mutual success
Naturally, we want to see EVERY:!
student in a good position, if humanly:]
possible, because we realize that OURjj
success depends upon the success ofj^
our STUDENTS or GRADUATES, J
and the GOOD-WILL of the parents
or guardians.
Life is a great deal like a see-saw,
and it pays to be decent to the fel-i
low who is down, for he may be up
tomorrow.
Passenger: "Why are we so late?"
Porter: "The train in front of us
was behind and we were behind befoi'e
besides!"
BOOST
Boost your city, boost your friend;
Boost the school that you attend,
Boost the people round about you,
They can get along without you,
But success will quicker find them
If they know that you're behind them.
Boost for every forward movement,
Boost for eveiy new improvement,
Boost the man for whom you labor,
Boost the stranger and the neighbor,
Cease to be a chronic knocker,
Cease to be a progress blocker.
If you'd make your school better,
Boost it to the final letter.
Thought once awakened does not
again slumber. Carlyle.
