A child who is taught to be true when she is four will be 'truthful when she is fourteen. Beauty of ideals goes deeper than the skin; it is our ideals which makes our lives beautiful or otherwise. The modern girl 'must not let herself be robbed of her high ideals by this fast-step- ping age. We :imust build a wall against evil and' its buffetings will only prove our strength and serve to make us better and more beautiful.
