paper. To show that his decision is not

following explanation:

story of a 12-year-Old boy who handled,

fourfoot wood. over Is cords, in the course
of two days. The writer thinks it is a big
lstory and says the boy is smart boy.
1t is a big story and we pity the boy. He
may be smart and healthy and capable.
ready and willing to work. but such a
| task is a cruelty to any boy living. No
! boy of l. years of age, no matter how
lStrong or big, should be put to such
stints. No boy should be expected to do
q mans work. or more than mans
work. 1t is the bane of our present age
that we force everything to an unnatural
growth and an abnormal performance.
We do not like lazy boy. We love a
lstrong, healthy, jolly. willing boy, one
ready to. help at any task he can do. and
have only words of praise for such lad.
But We want him to be a boy, to have
some days of joy and pleasure and some
time in which to grow. The other
communication tells yet sadder story
| it is that of a woman nearly GO years of
age who has done hard things for the past
two years. According to our cores

Journalism There is nothing diShonor-

would allow a woman sixty years old to

State. There is Il sort of competition in

communications as those referred to were
