But takin' her right along stiddy, day in an' day out, she's got a good sunny disposition an' is mighty lovin' and kind. An' as to character and dependableness, why, she's thess ez sound ez a bell.

Th' ain't no finer trait, in my opinion, in man or woman, than dependableness, an' that's another reason I take sech special delight in the little daughter, Mary Elizabeth. If she tells you a thing's black, why you may know it don't lean todes brown or gray. It's thess a dismal black. She may hate to say it, an' show her hatred in a dozen lovin', regretful ways, but out it'll come.
Learning to judge others according to character and attainment rather than according to wealth or social position cultivates the naturally democratic spirit of the child, and makes him a true American. Sharing in the responsibility of the home begets self-reliance and dependableness in later life. The supreme lesson of life is to learn to be unselfish.
