“BAD LITTLE BOY.”
New York Globe.
“Bad little boy” when he asked for a
penny;
“Bad litle bay” when he wanted to
play;
“Bad little boy”—oh the times were so
many;
“Bad little boy” all the time, every
day.
“Bad little boy” when he teased his
small kitten;
“Bad little boy” when he climbed up
a tree;
“Bad little boy” when he mislaid his
mitten;
“Bad little boy" when he came late
to tea.
“Bad little boy” if in school he just
wriggled;
“Bad little boy” if he looked off his
book;
“Bad little boy” if he whispered or
giggled;
“Bad little boy” if his memory for
sook.
“Bad little boy” just for once over
sleeping;
“Bad little boy” if he made sister
cry.
“Bad little boy” just for running and
leaping;
“Bad little boy” just for asking,
“well why?”
“Bad little boy” if his fingers were
sticky;
“Bad little boy” if he tracked in the
dust;
“Bad little boy” if he spotted his
dickey;
“Bad little boy” if his hair would
get mussed.
“Bad little boy” if he talked a bit
wildish;
“Bad little boy” of he laughed, sang
or danced;
“Bad little boy” at each act that was
childish;
“Bad little boy” if he shouted or
pranced.
“Bad little boy!” All the time it was
shaming him.
“Bad little boy!” It was all that he
heard.
If he grew up a failure, well, who
would be blaming him ?
He took all the grown-ups, at least,
at their word.
VACATION.
The Creighton Courier, in an editor
ial on “Vacation” concludes as fol
lows:
Even a superficial glance at the
people about us shows that the vast
majority never have any vacation at
all, and in active life he is indeed a
rare bird who can get a month for
rest and recreation. What shall we
think, therefore, of the student who
contends that he is so tired, after his
year’s labor, that he must have three
or four months of complete liberty
from intellectual effort, if he is to do
himself justice when classes reassem
ble? Verily, if we believed him, and
had any thought of cause and effect,
we might well expect that, on his re
turn to school, he would stand in awe
of the new-found radiance emanating
from his colossal mental machinery.
But, fortunately, we do not believe
him, nor does he believe that his men
tal equipment has suffered such ser
ious impairment that it must needs lie
idle for the long summer. The truth
is, if he had worked faithfully, he may
be tired, and need some rest, but he
is in no need of complete escape from
the use of his mental faculties. And
just in so far as he realizes this fact
and acts upon it may he expect to re
turn to his classes rejuvenated for the
year’s work. Idleness, no less than
over-exertion, brings its own punish
ment; real success clings close to tne
happy mean. The mental worker must
not let his machinery grow rusty from
disuse, but must see to it that after
a reasonable period of relaxation it
is kept fit by use. As the poet has
well said:
“Absence of occupation is not rest.
A mind quite vacant, is a mind dis
tressed.”
Thought gathers around you the
things you want. When you stop
thinking of them they pass away.
Thoughts are seeds, they produce af
ter their kind. A little thought will
shake off useless conditions. Think
some fun into your daily life. Don’t
be too serious, it breeds disease germs
just as anger and hate thoughts in
duce cancer, tumor and liver troubles.
Start a hurricane of fun. Break loose
in a thunder storm of mirth, it will
clear the atmosphere under a roof,
just as a thunder storm clears the
air over the roof.”—Dr. Croft.
