CRANNY'S CHANCED WAYS

''We always make allowances lor father's strong languge, but the new mother is nearly as bad, and it is having a serious effect upon the girls' speech," said Miss Morrison, principal of the London College at the Head Mistresses' Conference.
''This is all pari of the so-called 'greater freedom.' it is in spite of this, or because of it. that the sixth form girl to-day is so delightful. She is, perhaps, ;t bit hard, but has qualities of courage and comradeship and optimism whereon to build ii)i her life. Why, even Granny to-day does not sit knitting in a corner, reading her Bible, but cries aloud 1 for betting tips and dance favors. Really the children of to-day are grown-up almost from the cradle."
