So, students and others—all readers—if you think the school, your classmates, the world, are not treat ing you kindly, d o n’t delay a day but declare to your selves that even though things do not come your way you will live for others and radiate sunshine across the pathway of all whom you meet. You will then find happiness springing up around you like flowers; you will never want for friends or companionship; you will see the best in everybody and will say pleasant and helpful things about them. *1 here is no habit which will give you more satis faction, that will enrich you more, than that of doing a good turn to others at every opportunity. You can always help by a cheerful spirit, by cordial words, by kindness, and radiating a sunny disposition. T ry it.
