Scott City, Kansas. It Does Not Pay. It does not pay to argue too much with pupils as to the justice of a punishment. If you have given sufficient thought to resolve upon a certain course, pupils should understand your decision is not a subject for discussion. Be just and firm.

If you make mistakes in school, correct them as you do mistakes out of school. It does not pay to let little things worry you. Often that is the very reason they are done. Remember that if a pupil persistently does annoying things, it is the result of the pupil's carelessness, or your ability to make him respect you. If the former, worrying will not correct the habit; if the latter, you ought not to show annoyance.

It does not pay to stand too much. Many a lady teacher wears herself out by not resting judiciously. Very dress of Each. E. E.
