HAPPINESS


Lord Tankerville, in New York, said of the international school

question:



"The subject of the American versus the English school has been too much

discussed. The good got from a school depends, after all, on the

schoolboy chiefly, and I'm afraid the average schoolboy is well

reflected in that classic schoolboy letter home which said:



"'Dear parents--We are having a good time now at schoo
.

George Jones broke his leg coasting and is in bed. We went

skating and the ice broke and all got wet. Willie Brown was

drowned. Most of the boys here are down with influenza. The

gardener fell into our cave and broke his rib, but he can work

a little. The aviator man at the race course kicked us because

we threw sand in his motor, and we are all black and blue. I

broke my front tooth playing football. We are very happy.'"





Mankind are always happier for having been happy; so that if you make

them happy now, you make them happy twenty years hence by the memory of

it.--_Sydney Smith_.
