How Can We Train Our Children?

All children are initiative, SO set
before them the highest models,
drawing their thoughts toward the
sincere, the noble and the wholesome
in life and literature. Teach children
work: let them understand that the
things best worth having in this
world are gained by painstaking perse-
Verance. Be careful Of the environ
ment Of the child in the home. school
and neighborhood. Children initiate
each other, SO their playmates and
companions should be the very best.
\ parents aim should be to keep all
sights and knowledge of evil from
their children. leading them towards
beautiful and ennobling thoughts.
Are we patient enough with our chill
dren? That patience that sees
processes and not results in future
never finding fault or judging harshly,
but feeling sure that loving guidance
and time will correct the unevenness
in their characters. | wonder if it is
not wise to let every night settle the
accounts of the day, never carrying
over to the next, remem ORANGES of
faults or difficulties. Happy the
child that can wake in the morning
with the glad feeling that he can
make fresh start, that the trials of
the day before don't count against
him in the home; and doubly happy if
bleSt with the wise councils of a Judi
ciOuS father and the devotion and
patience of a loving mother. Who
dare say such a child will not grow
up a credit to the home circle and to
society,"

FARMS NO LONGER ISOLATED.
Telephones, TroIleys and travelling Libraries
Improve Rura! Districts.

No longer is the farm house isolated.
says Margaret E. Sullivan in Harper'S
Bazaar. Telegraph wires lace the ar
the forests and over the
meadows. The telephone bring coun-
ties into neighborhood. Rural free
delivery has abolished the rare and
drive of many miles over
unsafe roads to p0stoff1ce. A mental
desert without books has blossOmed
into the travelling library. The
despair Of fine art is turned into
rapturous glimpses by the travelling
picture gallery. The portable school
house and chapel on~wheels are factors
in a radical and irreversible change.
As electricity has made travel cheap.
multiplication of processes of repro
ductiOn on the printing press has
brought the ideals Of the ages across
the remote thresholds of the tillers of
the soil, shedding a glow of serenity
upon the consciousness of the most
and hitherto the most de-
pressed section Of humanity.

Shaping Sentiment With Gold.
Madison Journal

We have no craven views as to the
effectiveness Of wealth and power in
shaping public sentiment, but one who
notes the work being done by the
Milwaukee Sentinel to forbid the

The truth is that few active spirits,

SPEAK WELL or YOUR OWN TOWN.
Ii Is The Most Valuable Advertising a City
Can Get.

1t ought to be every mans pleasure
to speak we'll of the city in which he
lives: to convey the idea always that
his-city is the best" If we know of
any city better than Grand Rapids we
should lose no time in getting away
from here. Not knowing any better
place to go, it becomes our duty as a
citizen Of Grand Rapids to speak we'll
Of this town and its people. Talk is
said to be cheap. but if every man and
woman would resolve to speak well of
the city to everybody he or she might
meet, this fact alone would be the
most valuable advertising this city
could get. In fact, the only way to
build up any community, is to show
to others that you have faith in it
yourself. How would you expect a
man or woman to come and locate in
Grand Rapids for any purpose what
ever, if you show him or her that you
yourself have no confidence in your
own city. In your talk and in your
correspondence speak we'll Of every
thing that pertains to Grand Rapids;
her industries, her resources and her
people. Cities nowadays do not build
themselves, but it is within the
province of the people Of Grand
RapidS-the rank and tiie-to make or
build one OF the best cities in Wiscon-
sin right here All that is necessary
is push, energy and enterprise and a
disposition to convey to others that
this is a good place, the best in the
world. If we should all adopt that
policy it would be surprising to US all
what the result would be in Il very
short time.
