Don't Blame the Parents

There IS II tendency on the part of
many to blame parents because their
children do not turn out to be upright
and honest. Sometimes the blame is
well placed, but in the majority of
cases it is not. Most parents at this
day and age endeavor to educate their
children to be honest, upright and
make something OF their talents.
They point out the way the child
should go and even attempt to gently
lead the youngster. Later on they
find they have made great mistake
in using gentle measures. They ought
To have taken club and "mauled the
devil out OF the youth" so to speak.
But finding too late that they had

might then get down TO business.

FIREMEN'S BALL
Brookings Should Establish Annual

Now that We have a Suitableplacr for

REGISTER believes it would be good
policy for the city to give an enter
tainmcnt of some sort followed with a
supper and ball for thu benefit Of the
fire department.
The Fraternity co. could we'll afford
to donate the use of the auditorium
and local talant could bc secured to
prepare splendid entertainment OF
some sort. The supper might come a>
donation from the citizens.
1t may be too late to introduce the
"benefit" this year but we suggest
that Jan. |, 1906 as the date for the
initial entertainment and bail. The
city owes the fircmen more than they
will ever repay and it * right and
proper that We do something for them.

1t is some qualification to know that it

Hundreds Of people have contributed
their mite and today we have some

is gratifying indeed.
