careful amd skillful training. A
Christmas Jake, a little play in which

the most pathetic scene of the whole
evening was the little bare Christmas
tree, belonging to ‘“Finnegon Flat.”
The decorationg were really beautiful.
The whole evening's ntertainment
reflected great credit ox the teachers,
Mjss Flornce Yoder and Mr. Guy

WHY r not give your lad
the same training?
“When I was a growing lad, and came
upon many words in iny reading that
1 did not understand, my mother, in-
stead of giving me the definition when
1 applied to her, uniformly sent me to
the dictionary to learn it, and in this
way I gradually learned many things
besides the meaning of the individual
word in quesfion—among other things,
how to use a dictionary, and the great
pleasure and advantace there might
be in the use of the, dictionary.
Afterwards, when I went to the village
school, my chief diversion, after les
sons were learned and before they
were recited, was in turning over the
pages of the ‘Unabridged® of those
days. Now the most modern Una
bridged—theNEW INTERNATIONAL—~
gives me a pleasure of the same sort,
So far as my knowledge extends, it is
at present the best of the one-volume
dictionaries, and quite sufficient for
all ordinary uscs. Even those who
possess the splendid dictionaries im
several volumes wll yot find it a great
ecnvenience to have this, which is so
compact, so full, and so trustworthy
as to lave, in most cases, litle to be
desired.” Alb2rt 0. Cock; Ph.D. LL.D,
