Fulltext: tablishment of the 7th Grade is a guarantee for bet ter education. This is wrong. An hour of consciencious study under the guidance of a qualified teacher who is interested in his work and his pupil is more fruitful to the child than ten hours of idle activity under a poorly educated and permissive teacher who is not much better thaii a baby-sitter. — V. G. Sinco. CRITICS AND MISTAKES The galleries are full of critics. They play no ball. They fight no fights. They make no mistakes because they attempt many things. Ford forgot to put a reverse gear into his first automobile. Edison once spent $2,000,000 on an invention which proved of little value. The man who makes no mistakes lacks bold ness and the spirit of adventure. He is the one who never tries anything. He is the brake on the wheel of progress. And yet it cannot be truly said he makes no mistakes because the biggest mistake is the very fact that he tries nothing, does nothing but criticize those who do things. — Pittsylvania Star. 64 PANORAMA
