Cunningham. Editorial "To be or not to be; that is the question." To shove or not to shove, to talk or not to talk, to loiter or not to loiter, to show conduct or to show misconduct, are all of the things that come up in school. Conduct Is only a seven lettered word which means behavior. The younger people should always show good conduct to their elders. This is especially true in the way pupils should act toward their teachers. When pupils have graduated from school and start on their life's jour ney they will find quite often whe'e conduct will either better or lower their position or social standing. To shove, talk, and loiter are things that come under conduct and are daily happenings which not only take up the pupils' and teachers' time but grow into a habit as encouri Teachers' Institute the 17th A one-day teachers' institute s to be held at Lexington on the 17th of April.
