Habits of industry should be early
taught Idleness is a most prolific moth
er of mischief, INSTRUMENTATION and
crime, Parents who neglect to furnish
employment for their children under
mistaken idea that it is cruel to require
them to labor, will have a rich harvest
OF modification and disappointment i'll
after years. The education of children
is a most important subject and should
receive very careful consideration by
every parent 1t is no longer a question
whether we will educate the little ones
that come into our homes or not, but it
is obligatory upon every parent to give
his children the very best advantages
possible, even if lie cannot leave them
an estate. We have no longer any
right to turn loose a troop of uneduca-
ted and untutored children to mar
with their unsteady and faltering tread
the grand triumphal march of progress
that must from henceforth characterize
this wonderful age Compulsory edu-
cation should be the watchword that
will entitle this nation to lead the van
in the great procession OF nations and
kingdoms, and may the time soon come
when it shall be inaugurated in our
Magma Charta, that no person shall
exercise the right of suffrage without
an educational test The greatest
menace to-day to the permanency of
our government and its institutions, is
the free ballot in the hands of the I'M
educated citizen. Children should
have books to the verge OF extrava-
gance, also papers and periodicals in
abundance, so that they may be abreast

that are transpiring i'll this most pro-
gressive age. know of no way that

ment of the farmers home to better
advantage than in supplying the same
with a iudicious selection from the
current literature of the day. AS rule
farmers do not read enough themselves
and do not encourage their children tc
