THE TYPE OF STUDENT

WE WOULD LIKE

One who never makes fun of the old and the poor. God's hand rests lovingly on the aged and the poor.

One who never cheats or is fair at games. Play should strengthen most weak characters.

One who never uses bad language or offensive printed matter. You throw mud and cannot expect to keep your hands clean.

One who is never cruel to the weak. Kindness is the mark of a gentle person.

One who never tells lies. Every lie leaves a black spot on the character of the speaker.

One who never quarrels. When your tongue gets unruly lock it in.

One who is always ready to lend a helping hand. You yourself will need help sometimes.
