GOOD ADVICE
A boy was leaving home for the first term of college. ' There are just, two things I want you to remember,' said the father at parting. 'First of all, do not be 'afraid to be yourself, your best self, and to stand up for year sacred convictions, no matter Avhat the standard of your fellows may be. Bo a digit, and not a cipher. Then don't hold yourself too cheap. Be chary about every man that beckons to you. Do not give yourself to the first company that bids for your society. Reserve your friendship for those who are really worthy of it. You are in the serious business of making a life; do not lightly undertake experiments.'
