Much has been written upon keeping
the boys on the farm. While in many
cases il may be that the father does not
treat his boys in the way that would tend
10 make farm life attractive, II Is often the
other extreme that in reality leads them
away from home. Too much Of the teach

they are sadly abused, when perhaps the
father Is doing all lac can, and often more
than he really ought, in justice TO him.

advantages than lac himself enjoyed, hon

the boys will be able 10 take hold and

advantages is very often the cause OF lead
ing the boys away from the farm. They
DO not realize or appreciate the struggles
the father may be making 10 give them
the advantages they enjoy, and learn %
look upon what Is offered them as only
a right.
When boys stay upon the farm and

very many eases two sides 30 the BOYS
