II wonder why They don't make
them quit playing Football" nav told
paw after she Got thru reading about
the Latest deth in the Game. Its too
Bad people can't raise Boy emmy moro
without having him 60 to Collidge and
get His back broke when he mite Of got
q job in grocery and been q help to
the Family il they wouldn't Of had
mummy enuff to Give him neducar
ton"
"Maw, you can't see the Onward
march Of Sivvleization," paw Sed. II
you Had deep reasoning powers you
mite understand these things Better.
The trubble with you and Lot moro
people is you don't no times have
Changed. It was all rite when most
of us lived in the country and didn't
have ennything to Do but hard work
all Day and kill q Wild cat with .
pitchfork every Little while for the
Boys to get along without Learning
generalship and Getting confadunce in
Themselves, but What sho would .
man That started in Life by working
In Blacksmith shop or on Farm for
leven dollers q munth and Is president
Of Bank or general manidger Of some
ralerode Have IL he would Start In life
To-day without a Collidge education?
do you think Boy that never got
a pint or 80 Of Tobasco soss poured
down his throte or was Ducked In =
mill pond with his hands and Feat
tied the first mite after he entered col
lidge would stand emmy chance to be .
Great organizer and get Looked up to
by his Fello sitazens now. Not mutch.
You seem to think all Boy OF to Learn
In collidge is how to rite with the Cap
itals where they Belong and get SO he
can tell what's The value Of when
w is as R with u eakwul to 13. Gram
mer's all Rite as far as 1t Goes, and
mebby it's Good thing to lern how to
do sums in Algie Bray that you could
figure by mentle rithmuttick without
half the trubble, but That's not all they
are to collidge education. Not mutch
mary Ann! II it would only be for the
things Boy could Lern out Of Books
that would count in Life they wouldn't
be emmy use of sending Our sons to col
lidges, because it would be Cheaper to
Have tutors Come around to the
Houses and tute by the Day the Same
as we get the portch painted and the
Furnace tended to. But It's the CRATE
experience of Lerning generalship on
the Foot Ball field and thinking up how
to start Panick at meeting by tutch-
ing or Dynummite explosion In It
that helps the most when Yung man
hast to Face the world alone. They are
not mutch Hope for Boy that fails to
Commence his Collidge career by Get
ting his nose Broke in Cane Rush or
being tied so He can't move and Throne
in a well or Sumthing. That gives him
Confadunce in himself, and by the time
he Begins his Scckond year he Gets
over the measully habit Of Thinking
about expenses and his mind is broad
ened so he can think up Plans to do the
same Things or mebby worse ones to
Some other fello that Just got there"
| II don't see How that's going to Help
a Boy along thru Life" nav sed.
''Of course you DON'T" paw told her:
"but that's becoz you can't see ahed.
Think what Crate start 1t gives him
over people that have no education
when he hast to Get inisheyaited in
some Lodge where they push Fello
offn some High place and he mite Hol-
ler for help If he wouldn't have cur
ridge and Generalship and Broadened
mind"
"But what II he Gets killed before
he Lerns how to have currldge and
Generalship and Gets his mind broad
ened Outy nav asst.
THAT shows he was Coward and
would Of Been a Failure In life emmy
way" paw sed, $50. they are no use
Making a Fuss or Feeling bad about
it. and the Fackulty can prove it was q
naxident emmy way."-Chicago Times.
