NOT SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND

After Experience With Truthful Parent, Teacher Got Great Light on Johnny's Case. A teacher who believed In co-operat-ing with the parents of her pupils called at the house of a small boy whom she had caught In a number of falsehoods In order • to take counsel with his mother. “I can’t see how you can say that,” the boy’s-, mother objected. “John never tells me lies. I’m mighty particular about It myself. He’s out In the yard now. Annie,” she said to his small sister, “you go out and tell him to come right to this minute I” Annie went, but in a few minutes she returned without the small prevaricator. “He won’t come," she announced proudly. "He says he won’t” “Did you tell him who was here?” Inquired his mother. Annie shook her head. “All right,” said the truthful parent “Go back and tell his grandmother Is here and has some candy for him. That’ll bring him!”—Youth’s Companion.
