“THREE REAL R’S” 
Subject of Talk 
Before Manchester 
Parent- Teacher 
Association 
The meeting of the Parent-Teacher 
association of Manchester Wednesday 
evening was largely attended. Walter 
Leroy Smith of Malden, who is the 
head of the Malden business college, 
and who for the past five years has 
been secretary of the Malden Board 
of ‘Trade, was the speaker of the eve- 
ning. 
The president of the association, 
Mrs. Hattie Baker presided. During 
the business session Miss Anne Clarke 
and Mrs. Fred L. Smith were elected 
delegates to the Mothers’ Congress 
to convene in Boston, May 15-20. 
The High school orchestra played 
the first, part of the evening and again 
at the close. ‘Their. selections were: 
“Apple Blossoms”, by Roberts, and 
“Battleship Connecticut”, by Fulton. | 
Mr. Smith’s subject was ‘Three 
eal R’s” which, he said. were better 
by three “H’s, 
explained honey, 
‘hard-headed and homely, and I hope 
they will result in a fourth, Helpful.” 
“For my text,’ continued Mr. Smith, 
“T would suggest: ‘Every Man is as 
Lazy as he Dares to be.’ In other 
words, it is hard to get out of the 
habit of doing what you are doing 
regularly.” 
Following are a few excerpts from 
Mr. Smith’s talk: 
“We need to bestir ourselves once 
‘ina while and see what we are doing. 
The kind of training that did for our 
fathers and mothers does not suit us. 
A wan or woman without training is 
nowhere vital. We get training in 
order that we may determine at all 
times, relative values. No one can 
succeed without being serviceable. 
“ The first ‘R’ I want to talk about 
to-night is Respect. We cannot re- 
spect other people until we have man- 
ners. ‘The sunny smile, cheerfulness, 
is valuable. It is attainable. If you 
get out of the wrong side of the bed 
in the morning get in again and get 
out on the other side. 
“Cheerfulness is a duty. Think of 
what most of us have to put up with 
when the rest of us are around. Gos- 
sip has killed more of the profitable 
things of life than any other thing. 
“Personal appearance counts. If 
we are not careful of our appearance 
we may lose respect. Don’t expect 
the teacher to do anything you can’t 
do yourself. ‘The only time some peo- 
ple get inside of a school house 1s 
when there is trouble. Don’t listen 
to that tale of the child when he comes 
home. Ninety-nine times out of a 100 
the teacher is right. Don’t shove the 
job off onto the school or the church. 
The power of the home is gigantic. 
Mr. Father don’t let Mrs. Mother 
do it all. 
“ The second R is Responsibility. 
And that means ‘get it done.’ I think 
every child should earn his own spend- 
ing money, or have a stated, specific, 
definite allowance. ‘There is only one 
way to spell success and that is 
‘W-o-r-k.’ 
“The third R is Results, or the 
award of respect and responsibility. 
Methods are important only in so far 
as they make results. Extravagance, 
stinginess, economy—don’t you know 
some of us get those awfully mixed 
up. Try to make yourself fit the job, 
not the job fit you. Associate daily 
with somebody that is bigger than you 
are. Read books that stretch your 
mind. You will realize that the aim 
of life, the purpose of all our train- 
ing is Character. The joy of accom- 
plishment is the greatest joy in the 
world.” 
Following Mr. Smith’s talk the 
gathering adjourned to the lower 
rooms of the school building, and re- 
freshments were served by the com- 
mittee in ‘charge. 
Ir I WeErE A BEEF 
If you were a rose and I were a bee 
I would buzz around you contentedly. 
I would touch your lips as there you 
clung 
And never—oh, never would you get 
stung. 
I would envy the sun as he tried to 
kiss 
The dew from your lips in ecstatic 
bliss. 
But your fate would be just the fate 
of all 
The roses that bloom in the spring or 
fall: 
Some florist would nab you in spite of 
my mash 
And sell you, dear heart, for a dollar 
cash. 
Passenger—‘“ Have I time enough to 
take something ?” 
Conductor—‘“Yes, sir. 
Passenger—“You can guarantee 
that the train will not depart?” 
Conductor—“Well, for greater sure- 
ty I will take something with you.”
