Show ONE VALUABLE LESSON Children are going to have their childish arguments and their youthful quarrels, and we must make allowances for it. But sometimes we feel the fathers and mothers of Delta could teach their offspring a valuable lesson if they would sit down with them and explain the true value of friendship, and the value val-ue of having good friends. Explain to them that there isn't a business man in town who could remain in businessa week if it wasn't for the friendships friend-ships he has made. Show them that no matter where they go or what they may do in future years, it is going to be impossible for them to put themselves off from the world, and prove successful. They must have friends. Then, too, show them how friends can help in case of illness or accident, and how they can lend a helping help-ing hand when there is a financial barrier to be removed from the path. In other words, make it plain to them that they can buy everything in the world worth having except love and the friendship of their fellow man, and that once they lose a good friend money cannot replace him. If the children grow up quarrelsome, they are bound to be that way thru life. If they learn in early years the true value of cultivating a good disposition, they will carry that good disposition dis-position on with them in the years to come. Make them see that a sunny, cheerful disposition makes friends more quickly than anything else. And teach them that friendship is far better thai: all the money in the world rolled into one heap. |
