And it is an incident well worth telling for it has fine . moral lesson. '‘The pupils were Very interested in selling the Red Cross seals. Now it so happened that the rural mail carrier usually stops at a couple of boxes which are near the school. Walter Pierce (aged ten years)' knew, as did all the others, what time the mail carrier got there. So at that time, Walter asked to be excused from-the room.. He went out and sold the mail carrier an order of Red Cross seals. Some class to Walt- er for/a salesman! Now iwhat is the lesson to be learned from this inci- dent? Most of the failures in life are fallures because they builded their houses on corner stones and foudations similar- to: the following: “I just forgot,” ‘‘never .thought”, a little short,” “I didn’t quite have time,” and It can’t:be done.”: Then they whine because they never have any opportunities. ~-Who: made the opportunities for Walter to land that sale? He had a point and purpose and he pursued it. The mail carrier has to pass several schools on his route; all the schools had the stamps to sell and 1 am wondering il any other pupil tried to “land” Mr. So- lund for a customer.
