not keep them out Of school because you
may need them at home for a day or
a week; rather do the work yourselves
You may save few dollars by keep
Z ing them at home, but you discourage
the boy and the girl to a great extent.
he day has passed when the boy or
girl can step out into the world with
only an elementary education The op-
pOrtunitieS which YOU and 1 enjoyed are
not theirs You can well afford to give
your children Il good high school educa-
ton Let them enjoy all the education
lhey wish, even though through 1T you
may be unable TO acquire as much prop

world today are the idlers-those VINO
don't want 10 work and those who DON'T
have to work. of which the latter is bv
far the greater, They lead our boys
aStray- We need more school houses and
more strenuous efforts to secure the
faithful attendance OF our boys and girls
and there viii be less hoodlums and cam
dldates Tor the reform school More
schools and there viii be less cause
to mourn over misdireCted children There

room Here they forget the terrible
cigarette and the undesira bic elements. -
