SUSTAIN THE TEACHER
Many people who send their children to Bohoql are too T.eady to pass
judgment and censure upon the
teacher. It frequently happens that
a child must be punished for. its
misconduct. Failure to inflict proper punishment would destroy all
discipline in tlie school and. exert a
demoralizing influence oyes> 'Other
and better pupils. But parents "seldom sees the faults of their own iliild-
ren: In m&ny cases the teacfieT is
promptly condemmned and the^vun-
ruly child is upheld in its misdeeds.
When we see asmoke we at once look
for the few which causes it. And
when a child receives punishment in;
a school we should be equally dili-
.gent in looking'for the cause which
prompted its infliction. In no other
way can school authorities maintain
discipline, and a school without
discipline is not worthy the name.      j

EVERY MAN WHO WORKS FOR PAY
IS A MERCHANT
If you work for pay, you are "in business- for yourself,"
Your stock in trade is "Service." You have one customer—your employer.
He buys—not your tiise—but your services.
You sell youi- commodity to him cn a credit basis. Your "customer"
-   agrees to Bay on a certain date.
This date is commonly called Pay day.
So long as he pays according to his promise to you, his credit with
you remains good and you continue to sell him your services5.
What would you say ii he failed to pay you as he promised or should
ask for an extension of time? -
You would be justified in severing business relations with him AT
ONCE.
EVERY MERCHANT WHO SELLS YOU
GOODS IS WORKING FOR YOU
Your merchant is your hired
man. He goes into the markets
and shops for you. He uses his
own money, or money the bank
lets him take, to buy shoes, fuel,
clothing, dry goods, etc, for you.
If your merchant is not a good
shopper and gets poor goods for
you, or if 'he does not serve you
to your satisfaction, you discharge
him and hire some other merchant to work for you. .
The merchant works for you on
very easy terms.
He w!lll wait for his pay,, a week,
two weeks or a month. AU he
asks is that you pay when you
agree to pay. •
The important point is that the
money be fo'thcomin|g whiso.
promued.
If you fail to pay -when you
agree to pay the merchant is in
the same fix you would be in if
YOU RECEIVED £N ■ EMPTY
PAY' ENVELOPE on Saturday

A Merchant's Standing in the Community is
Largely a. Matter of How He Pays His Bills
The same is true of- individual citizens.
The highest compliment in busiuess is:   His word -is as good".
as his bond."
The man who pays his  bills  when  he  agrees  to may be in
debt, but lie is "square with the world"  and "square with
himself."       '
To Cut the High Cost of Living Begin by Cut-
. ting tlie High Cost of Charging
Money   gets "tight" when  people
do not pay when they agree to.
It" then becomes necessary to
borrow Money and pay interest.
When many merchants are obliged to borrow at rhe samp time it
increases the demand for money.
Increased demand always  raises
the price. ~
If everybody paid their bills
promptly, merchants could sell at"
a smaller margin of profit. As a
simple business proposition, it
pays YOU to be prompt-.
