\. farmer who had used a wagon
VITA broad tires on the wheels lon.
enough to ascertain their relative valu,
as compared with narrow tires, writes
y four-inch tire will carry two ton
over soft ground with greater ease t,
the team than 21s-inch tire via carr.
one ton. The wheel arr not so mucl
strained by stones and rough tracks OF
the road. and the road is not cut uJ
but. on the contrary, is packed dow
and kept smooth. The prevalent ide;
that the draught is increased by widen
ing the tire is altogether baseless; OF
the contrary, the wide tire reduces tn,
draught. The extra cost Of the tires i
repaid many times over every year il
the extra work that can be done by
team.

dictment Of the public school system
on the score of its alleged inability, a.
things are managed now, to impart tt
the rising generation anything likt
moral education. "The supreme indi
vldual and national good" says th,
Bishop SIS character. Character in
cludes elements that are moral and re
ligious as well as the intellectual: i
includes conscience, affection and will
Morality, as well as religion, gives way
before the ido3atry of the brain, and W.
are thus brought to confront the vas
defect Of ourpnblics school system" 4.
to Sunday schools, the Bishop has bu'
little 1assstt fof them as moral agents
while rs 70 parents, "they are not mora
themselves, aE they lack the care, skill
and ability TO discharge this chief par.
entail trust" The conclusion arrived
at is that the Christian life is inseper.
able from Christian dogma, and that
religious freedom does not mean free
dom from religion.
