Nobody would for a moment think of questioning the necessity and usefulâ€" ness of Model Schools for the purposes intended but as far as any advantage in having the Model School is conâ€" cerned, we are of theopinion that mdvantage is nearly all with the embryo teacher who is permitted to put to practical test methods which he had previously only been able to prove.

When a man who is conducting a snocessful business advertises for a japiter or a private mnnr‘,;a‘gu to his office and finds several applicants awaiting him. He hears them,one b‘y':u, and notices that this young man failed to polâ€" ish his shoes, that that young woman talks with a discordapt slang, that soâ€" andâ€"so is carrying the end of a cigarâ€" ette in his yellow nloomndfi?n. or that â€" Miss Thisâ€"andâ€"that is over adorned with cheap jowellery. He finds that.one young man is ntterly incapâ€" able of expressing himselfâ€" clearly, and that another has a newspaper with the chart of the horse races sticking from his pocket. Each applicant is denied a chan@b=@boause his outward appearâ€" ance arouses suspicion ; and the merchâ€" ant, sick, disheartened and disgusted with h‘mn“{:’hgo.‘ home, or to his <club, to forget unpleasant halfâ€"day. These statements may seont ~eXaggerâ€" ated, but they are the plain,unvarnished experiences that business mon encoun ter every day. _ Frequently employers are obliged to engage slovenly, untidy men and women whom they dislike, beâ€" cause the advances of their business demand more, workers and the right kind is not to be had ; but you may be \assured that when business slackens, such employees are the firs‘s to gu. In all matters. it is best to speak plainly. _ Clear, concise, transparent, expressions are the ones that carry the most weight. Speech is a wonderfol indicator of character. The art of speaking plainly and clearly is as necessary a part of one‘s education as are the rudiments of arithmetic, and, if I were a echool teacher, I should inâ€" stitute regular lessons in conversation and expression. . A man who can talk: without making his listener wonder if he were reared in the domain of incomâ€" prehensibility is the man who willhave the first chance. _ An employer wants a man who can explain himself, and whose conversation shows that its founâ€" tain is a clear, clean mind. We like a touch of vigor in one‘s speech, but we loatbe a hint of egotism or a molecule of selfâ€"praise. _ We like a man who can say, "1 will try," with the firm convicâ€" tion that be will try, but we dislike the man who says, "Why, that‘s easy!" and ar i~ s 1+ a conciusion of its worth before be knows what he is going to do. The steadyâ€"growing business conâ€" cern2, the great mercantile houses and the commercial consolidations of the United States have discovered that the men who will conduct the affairs of the fatdre are the mon who have been trained for that â€"purpose. ~ The â€"man who will have worked his way from the lowest rung will be the man who will u‘timately determine the destiny of the business concern. Our vast business enterprizes are. becoming l:xer every year. No man can be trus with the management of one who does not know every fractional part of the working of that concern with which ho is conâ€" nected, and who has not been a part of that working. * Hence the importance of giving work to men and women who will keep the bess interests of their em&hyen at heart, and blend. them with their own. If you seek en.ployment as a stenoâ€" grapher, let your appearance tell that you are a stenographer; if you seek employment se & coal heaver, let your appearance show that you are a coal heaver. I do not mean that the stenoâ€" grapher shall be gay with cheap jewellery or redolent with the lingo of the typewriter, nor do I mean that the goal heaver shall be black, grimy, and unwashed.â€"Bat I do mean that t{:m must aim straight at your point; that you must show, first of all, by clear expression, by ready answors, b‘{ & polite, gentle, yet vigorous matiner, that you are ready to fll the place to the bees of your ability.

I know a young man who stopped work regularly at 11 40 a. m. and at 5 10 p. m., in order to have plenty of time to "wash up," arrange his cuffs and tie, and brush his hair, so that he could leave promptly at 12 o‘clock, for lanchâ€" eon, and at 5 30 p m., when the store clused. It was some years ago. That man i still looking for a "‘good job." He has had more than a ~dozon.. He knew how to get them, but be never acquired the art of keepinxpshom. Do not be afraid of trying to do more than is expected of you. â€" This has been the, cause of many a man‘s failure. ; The bookkeeper who gives ‘up & theatre party or an evening social, in order to try and complete a balance sheet, does not escape his employer‘s noti¢e. He has shown willingness and has given the "boss" good evidence that he reâ€" gards bis interest before his own pleaâ€" sufé. You may make mistakes; but, if you do, say so, and make your amends by trying to correst them. Never lis about a mistake,for such a course adds cowardice to andâ€"already anpleasant eondition. Determined effort, with an inclinaâ€" tion to learn and to improveâ€"to masâ€" ter the details of the work you are asâ€" signed to doâ€"will greatly modify the hard, unpleasant tasks that fall to one‘s lot in every position. . e % Always remember that, next to honâ€" our, the quality that counts the most is personality. While many will tell you that personality is a gift? just as surely_as is the art of composing music, let me assure you that notbing else can be acquired as easily as personality, if one has the mind and the inclination to acquire it. _A bad temper, a sour ;dlspoomon-boooming gross asd potuâ€" lant when denied your way, speaking with sharpness when a kind word can just as easily be uttered, And lotting anger have its swayâ€"are faults that may be overeome if one earnestly and persistently tries to do so.
