Williamson, asking how t ie ; particular subjects they teach may contribute to the subject of char- j acter education. j Character building is receiving j j much attention throughout the i country, as a neglected part of the school curiculum. There cannot very well be a course in character education, but it must needs enter into the teaching of every subject in the gradei as well as the high school.

Determine his attitude toward his mother. And remember, society manners are merely superficial. Add love and the marriage will be a success. It is claimed that no girl who has come under this woman's influence has made a marriage that ended in divorce. I HHHi- qo - |
