Important—To Ourselves
A SMALL English boy I knew of was | inclined to be very self-assertive. His schoolmaster said to him: " You must learn, Smith minor, that you are not at all important." "But I’m very important to myself," was the small boy’s reply. Well, we are all very impottant to ourselves, aren’t we? But the child has to learn that other people are just as important, and it is much more difficult for an only child to learn this lesson than for one who has brothers and sisters, Yet no one gets very far in life if he .can’t stand up for himself at times. We don’t want a child to be |
always giving in like a lamb.-

Makes for Happiness." Mrs.
