What would we do without those needful
institutions? Where would we lay our heads,
or rest our weary bodies when we enter into
a strange city were it not for the open doors
of the boarding g-house; but, to pass ones
life away inside its portals without breathing
the congenial air OF the family hearthstone
with which our moral life is sustained, fear
life would be robbed of much that's yalu-
able to fit one for the battle.
It's influence is not generally for good
among young mon and women. Away from
all restraint there is a tendency to yield to
the temptations that beset the young when
thrown too often and so closely together.
There is none to question, none to care, and
one must needs have more than moral eour-
age to brave the dangers OF such seemingly
placid sea. M1zPAH.

answer, no. Boarding-house life does not
have an injurious effect on our character if
we be real gentlemen and ladies. We are
speaking now OF young people with charac-
ter. I do not think one Of either sex, with
good character. will be overpowered by evil
influence set before them by those having no
character, who also live a clearinghouse
life. On the contrary. I think if we have any
course well shaped in life. .Ievil influence rather
strengthens US, as adversely strengthens
the ambition of man in business life. Very
truly yours, CHARLES T. HILL.

George Washington Day by Day." is the
title of book by Miss Elizabeth Bryant
Johnston, author of "Original Portraits of
Washington" etc.. etc.. etc.
The title speaks for itself, and is a complete
record of the man, the lad, the soldier, the
patriot
Not only what Washington thought and
said and did but what was thought and said
of him by the great men of all nationalities
in all the modern languages.
Each day is an eXamplar from first to last.
From the boys entry in his journal on Feb
ruary q, 1747 when he recorded the fact
that he had made "a plan OF Major Lawrence
Washington's turnip field, y to his last entry,
the day before his death, as to the state of
the weather, the book points to models which
never fail in interesting the reader.
As reference book in schools and for stu
dents generally the book will be found in
valuable as a stimulation TO patriotism it is
incompatible. George Washington Day by
Day. is handsomely bound in the Continental
colors. blue and buff, and is enriched with
beautiful illustrations of the principal places
with which Washington was connected. The
headbands OF the chapters are artistic and
significant, showing research, labor, and ex-
ceeding care il the selection and preparation
OF the makeup OF the volume
With Miss Johnston writing of Washington
is synonymous with love of country, and her
work bears evidence of her patriotism.
The book has an index, which. in this age
OF hurry and hustle, is time-saver aud will
be greatly appreciated by students.

make money, as general rule. they are not

board, and both sexes, if they do not find
congenial spirits in their boarding house, will
seek it elsewhere, and consequently are often
led astray.
