out to swtill tho ranks o£ the dis
satisfied, disgruntled ju-'ompetents.
Our body of malcontents is not de
creasing and the public scliools as
now administered, nre the chief
feeder.
\Ve inaugurate and inculcate a
standard of efficiency that is not
tlio standard of the world in which
our people must struggle for exis
tence and wliero only the fittest sur
vive. In fact, the standard of effi
ciency of our school has but one
other parallel—that of a fond
mother who sees in every effort of
her loved one a heroic effort, and
in every achievement the ear mark
cf genuis. Not but that this In a
mother is «i beautiful t :ing; but his
mother is giving him enough of
that, aud when he conies to school
he needs some one whose judgmeut
is less obscured by sentiment. But
we all love a child, and it is hard
to measure liim by tho yardstick of
a.-i u ; : ntimeut;; public, that is in
terested only ii r^'.tlts. But we
must do it, a::d it" children are so
measured from tho beginning they
are perfectly happy and contented
with th#ir rating. Jf they have
on falsely gunged for a number
of years, thevtask oi' shifting them
ta a solid basis Is not a pleasant
one in tho beginning; and the
tt-jicher who teaches with an«teye sin
gled to her personal popularity
never begins it—she passes them
on just as she recoived them. But,
we who wouij merit the nam© of
teacAier, must reac'i tlio XliEDS,
with tho WANTS, of humanity; and
anyway, thtrre is good cheer for
the brave.
Children understand what is be
iiig done for fhem and like it much
quicker tlitirt wo had anticipated.
Unfortunately, parents do not al
ways understand that 60 per cent
is better than tho former 92 l>er
cent; but again, let rue say, find
out what tho world NEEDS and on
that altar pour out your devotion.
To bo moro specific, what are
t!ie things that v.e leavo but
tonless? I will ci o only oue and
let it typify ail ^ch. omissions.
Frotu th-» e.uiu*l dawii gf reason

If a problem is worth 3 0 per cent
and Join re si rs correctly but fails
mechanically to o a correct
answer, he is given S ~er cent for
his process and debited o :!y 2 per
cent for his carlessnc-ss, and not
only John, but John's mother is
pardonablo in thinking he has done
well. 0"t of ten such problems
four accuracies is not an unusual
number, and John proudiy exhibits,
a 92 per cent, when nc business
institution would have rated rbove
iio for cent. "With them it is a 're
3'iit that is considered. It is right
or wrong, never half ways, worth 10
per cent or a zero, and It should
be so with us. It is a crime against
the human family to take twelve
years out of tho lives of its young
people to instill an erroneous con
ception of what th e world expects
of them or will accept from them.
We had best teach Item to do «•
few. things right whilo it costs only
per cents, for later it will cost

Billy Bryee and I were Inseparable
companions, bosom friends. We "were
opposites In disposition, and I think
such dissimilarity Is one of the most
effective of all causes of friendship.
Billy was as cheery a chap as ever
lived. 1 was inclined to be morose.
BIHy paid nice Ihlngs to people which
be only half meant I said gruff things
to thera that I didn't mean at all. I
didn't need to anderstand Billy, be
cause he always appeared amiable, but
Billy needed to understand me, for I
was constantly saying something dis
agreeable—why, I scarcely know my
self; quite likely to cover up a liking
for the person to whom 1 spoke.
I was very dependent upon Billy for
cheerfulness, and wben ho wrote me
that he was engaged to be married it
was a sad blow to me. 1 bad bad other
friends who bad married, and the
friendship between us was never the
same as before their marriage. I would
go to tbeir hd^nes for Sunday dinner
and be heartily welcomed, but it was
always plain tbat the wife and children
bad supplanted me. I was a second,
third or fourth consideration.
Billy's loiter Indicated that he real
ized the cliauge his marriage would
cause In our Intimacy and seemed In
tent on preventing It so far as possible.
"1 wish." he said, ••that there shall be
the same friendliness between you and
Luella as between you and me. You
shall have the freedom of the house at
all times, whether I anflit home or ab
sent. You must not expect me to have
the slightest jealousy for you. My
fla ncee agrees with me perfectly In this
and, instead of having that Jealousy
brides are subject to for a bosom friend
of her husband, will welcome you to
the family circle as one of us."
This did not reassure me at all. 1
was supplanted, put down from first
to second place. 1 knew Billy's op
timistic disposition and also knew
that he could not suspend a natural
law. I wrote bim that If be did not
wish the lady be was to marry to
freeze me. out of the house he bad
better tell ber that If she wished it
he would never see me again. "That's
just like you," he replied, "but you
can't move either me or Lule with your
pessimism."
13111; asuea me to oe Desi man, nut i
detest ceremonies and took care to be
called away on a matter of business at
the time of the wedding. But I sent
a handsome wedding present I was
not so brutally frank as to tell Billy
1 had gone away on purpose to get
rid of officiating at his wedding, but I
told him that doubtless bis bride would
appreciate my wedding gift far more
than she would me.
After the wedding Billy brought his
wife to the city where be and I had
always lived. The first time 1 met hla
wife 1 was surprised that be should
have married a girl with a disposition
so like his own. His wife grasped my
hand cordially, looked at me^with n
smile on her pretty lips and a twinkle
in her bright eye and said:
"Billy says you are *wful grumpy,
but we'll take that out of you, won't
we. Billy?" and she looked at him
knowingly.
My first call was short. 1 suppose I
am prone to look out for trouble, but it
seemed to me that Mrs. Bryce was a
trifle too demonstrative. I was stricken
with fear that instead of being Jealous
of me, as 1 had supposed, she might
make Billy jealous of me, and that
would be ten times worse than it she
should freeze me out 1 went away
determined that 1 would not be drawn
Into any such danger. To be sup
planted In first place with my friend
was bad enough; to be placed at en
mity with him would be harrowing. 1
resolved that I would not call on Mas.
Bryce again for a month at least
But the very next day I was sum
moned to the telephone and heard the
lady's cheery voice say:
"Is that you, Mr. Qulmby? Come up
to dinner this evening. We dine at 7.
You needn't bother about evening
dress If you don't wish to.. Don't fall
me. Billy has to go out, and I shall
be all alone."
While I was trying to frame an ex
cuse 1 beard a click, and that was the
end of the one sided dialogue. All
that afternoon I was trying to per
suade myself that there was no way
out of the matter, but the troth Is
that in my heart I didn't wish to find
a way out of it I had nd place to
spend the evening but my dub, and I
was tired enough of It I wished to
baste in the light of Mrs. Bryce'a
cbeeriness. c.
Resolution is of no ose where a pret
ty woman is concerned, and I could
scarcely wait after business was over
for the dinner hour. It came at last
and was made welcome by Billy and
bis wife. Billy regretting that he was
obliged to go out daring the evening,
but he would come home as et.r!y as
possible. He was ever so.much oblig
ed to me for the favor done him of
"keeping Lu from being lonely."
Just before dinner was served I saw
a servant carrying a tray covered with
dishes upstairs. I supposed Billy and
his wife were alone in the* house ex
cept for the servants and asked If
any one was JU.
"A relative of Lu's," said Billy.
"She's not 111, onlyt bashful; doesn't
like to meet struugers, you know."
Billy didn't more than half finish
his dinner before he arose from the
table.
"Sorry to leave you, old man," he
said. "You'll excuse me, won't you?
Lu will take good care of you. I'll
try to get In before 10. Don't go till
I come back."
I was left tete-a-tete with a pretty
woman, .and Billy had taken care to
have a i.ttle of pood wine on the
table, so inat bad I not been sensible
of the danger of the situation I should
have rejoiced. I was somewhat reas
sured by a twinkle In Mrs. Bryce's eye
when she kissed her husband goodby,
for I began to think, after all, they
had conspired to get rid of ray belief
that Billy's marriage would be a
deprivation to me.
Whatever wag their design, I fell into
It I did not fear for Mrs. Bryce, but I
did fear for myself. She showed no
disposition to go back on Rillv by deed,
word or look. It was I who in my
heart envied my friend his wife.
Silly did not return at 10 o'clock or
at 11. At half past 11 I tore myself
away after having passed a delightful
evening.
During the next week Billy and his
wife were constantly telephoning for
me. I found myBolf becoming infatuat
ed with her and tried to keep aivay,
but they wouldn't let me do so. Billy
was as persistent as his wife and she
aa persistent as Billy.
A guilty conscience needs no ac
cuser, and It seemed to me that Billy
must notice my embarrassment my
shauiefacedness. But he didn't At any
rate, he was as cordial, as jovial, as af
fectionate as he had ever been. And, as
for being jealous of me, such an idea
appeared never to enter his head. In
deed, he seemed to be constantly con
triving to leave me alone with his wife.
I had not been introduced to Mrs.
Bryce a week before Billy announced
that be was called away on business
and would be absent for about ten
days.
"What!" 1 exclaimed. "Leave your
wife so soon after your wedding?"
"What can I do? Business won't
wait while a man is spooning with a
new wife. Besides, Lu won't go with
me."
"Indeed, I won't," said Lu. "I detes't
traveling. Besides, how would I amuse
myself, shut up in a hotel, while Billy
was attending to business? No, thank
you. I'm comfortable here."
"There!" said Billy. "You see what
marriage Is. They're very sweet oo you
till they get you; then you discover
that it's all put on."
His wife reproached him, but seemed
to have difficulty in repressing a smile.
Truly they were taking a great deal of
trouble to make me feel that I had been
a gainer instead of a loser by Billy's
marriage.
I spent every evening at Billy's bouse
during his absence. I made one sickly
effort to miss an evening, but Mrs.
Bryc» asked me what In the world she
would do alone. I asked her if the rel
ative Billy had mentioned as being
with her would not be a companion for
her, but she said that person had gone
the same day as Billy.
By the tirae the ten days of Billy's
absence had gone—and they seemed but
balf a week—I had so far given my
heart to his wife that I dared not meet
him. I asked Mrs. Bryce when she ex
pected him, and she said not for a cou
ple of days. But when dining with her
I heard a key In the latch of the front
door and knew that my bosom friend—
now my bosom enemy—had returned.
He ushered in a lady who I noticed re
sembled his wife. She came up to me
smiling and put out her hand.
"I am Mrs.. Bryce," she said. "We
have all been playing a game. Billy
thought It would be a good joke to In
troduce you to my sister, Edith, as
his wife. He said be thought it would
break the formality of your coming
under the new conditions. 1 kept out
of the way till Billy ooncluded to be
absent for awhile; then I -went with
him."
" Anil you are lub lemuve «auuj
a dinner was carried upstairs?"
"I am."
"To tell the truth, old man," Billy
broke In, "you were getting so devoted
to my wife that I thought I'd better"—
"William!" protested she who had
played the p:Ht of his' wife:'
This was a great boufeverscment both
for me and Edith. So long as she had
been the leading lady In a play sh<,
had not scrupled at anything, but now
that she must be herself again she be
gan to show signs of embarrassment
I was too stupid to see that this plot
had been intended to take proper care
of me In the loss of my friend by giv-'
fng me a wife. I confess 1 was at a
loss to understand why they had
thought proper to play such a joke on
me, but I did not refer it to Its true,
source.
We had a merry dinner together,
which was only marred by Billy, who
could not resist the temptation to guy
mo for my devotion to one whoa 1
had supposed to be his wife. His
taunts were only appreciated by him
self. His wife tried to frown him
down, his sister-in-law looked daggers
at him,.while I looked silly. However,
the dinner at last ended. 6illy and
bis wife went upstairs ostensibly to
rest after their Journey, but really to
leave me alone with Edith.
I put an end to the embarrassmest
attending the joke that had been play
ed upon me by proposing to Edith
that since she had played the role of
wife so well sbe had better be a real
wife. She assented. Mr. and Mrs.
Bryce were the next day Informed
that the play had ended In a reality.
Billy enjoyed his Joke hngeiy, declar
ing that It was the only way I could
have been saved <rom a lonely old
pessimism.
