Stopl Don't take imitation celery teas

The social time was not the least of
the program either
Boys on the farm think their lot is a
very hard one. They compare the long
hours, monotonOuS work and severe
trials of their lot with other occupa-
tions, but fail to compare the freedom
of their life in the country with that
in the city. While their pleasures are
few they are not detrimental morally,
mentally or physically. There is hard
work on the farm, but other things also
have their early and late hours. The
pay may seem small, but the expenses
are not what they are in the city. The
question is not what you make; but
what you save. The farm builds char
acter, makes the boy strong, keeps him
busy, trains his ingenuity and brings
him in contact with nature, while the
city will destroy his character, use his
strength, train him in idleness, make a
machine of him and offer no field for
ingenuity and cannot make him ac-
quainted with nature for they are
strangers. Think well of what you are
doing before you decide to leave the
farm. You know farm life and all the |
rough and stony places, but the new
occupation will have its rough places |
too, and they will be there ready to
meet you.
