colony of 100 negroes left Knox

Impress upon young people the value
of keeping diary or journal. Never mind
the kind with dates printed in. Write in
the day and month as they occur First,
note the weather; it will serve as a
curious If not useful record. Put down
letters received and answered, or money
taken in or paid out. Comment upon the
studies being pursued the books read,
the trips made and the places visited.
Note visits to or from friends, and rec
ord events Of the day. Avoid saying
harsh things. Write something every
day, and the Industrious and intelligent
boy or girl will find it will teach habits
of order, regularity, observation, concise
expression, composition and other things
which go to make up a good writer A
well kept journal becomes family or

mere record of events; it can be made

The outdoor life gives ample scope for
youthful activity, manifested in running,
jumping, swimming, boating, etc. Kite
flying can be INDUCED in; marks shot at
with blow guns, with sings, bows and
arrows; tests of strength and agility can
be made in tugs-of-war, in leap frog in
pitching quoits, climbing trees, in pay

to boys. Swings can be put up, ham
mocks swung and see-saws made, and
no end of healthful and pleasurable pas
