Dear Aunt Busy Just a line to "tell you that I took a special promotion this week, and I am very happy over it. I rather thank you a little for my i good luck. Aunt Busy. Last year 1 did not do very well in school. I did not like my teacher, and I did not want to study, and everything seemed wrong; this year I made up my mind to be I'1 different, and I read and read, your kind letters many times, and they seemed to lit me some way. Anyhow, . I am doing fine and my teacher said last Friday: "I am very pleased and - happy to say that you are to be pro- p moted. and I know you win study Just i j as hard with your new teacher as you have with me." So, dear Aunt Busy, I j - am writing to you right away, to thank 1 you for your little talks. You will hear i 1 j' from me soon again. Your loving j niece, ANNIE MURRAi.

Oh, dear little girl, Aunt Busy would be so happy if she could onlv help, her dear boys and girls out of all the pitfalls of school life. Aunt Busy knows so well how many there are. The reason everything seems dif-, dif-, ferent to you this year is because you iare different yourself. Meet your 'teachers half way, dear child, and they will meet you far more than half way.
