A SELF-SERVED HONOUR.
The class was seated and the new boy was standing at the teacher’s desk. “Well, young man,” said the teacher. “What is your name?” “Andrew Henderson,” answered the boy. ‘And what school did you attend?” “Auckland,” was the answer. The teacher, looking serious, asked the boy if he had been taught any manners at the Auckland school. The boy stood dumb. “I see,” the master said, “you don t understand what manners mean. Then I will commence teaching you now. When you answer your teacher yon must always say, ‘Sir.’ Now, what is your name?” “Sir Andrew Henderson,” came the ready reply.
