Grenada Sentinel.
In this day OF multiplied crganiza-
tions and in the rush and hurry of the
world there lis drifting away ffo,n old
moorings and the esta blishing of new
lines, a moulding Of new anchors, not
suspended in quarters filled with the
aroma of pristine purity and innocence,
that causes these mindful Of the ele-
ments that shape the character OF the
young and what shall be the constltu-
ents OF the coming citizenship OF the
land no oinconsiderable anxiety of mind.
Much of this begins in the home. Pos
sibly because of the lack OF positivity
in the father, and possibly, too, that
he realizes the many Vulnerable points
In his moral and christian life and de-
sires to mirror just as little Of himself
before his children as possible, he fails
to give that thought and care to his
children that his own good judgment
would suggest, and kinder slips out and
leaves the whole responsibility upon
the good and pure mother, who is al
ready ireighted with all the home bur-
dens she can assume. The sweetness
of the mothers life, her tender care,
her loving sympathy and her thought
full devotion are indispensable in the
home, but the father has his part to
perform, and his children, Especially
the boys, need his positive influence
aud the guiding hand of his force If
character. No one else can fill the
mothers place neither can anyone
else fiji the fathers place in the home.
The patrlarchs OF old gave their best
thought to shaping the character OF
their boys. Girls grow up in their In
nocence and their purity, and are not
beset by the same conditions with
which the boy has to deal. They are
like a tender vine direct their growth
and they largely follow the bent ct
their training. 'Tisno SO with boys.
They need the directing influence and
frequently they need more. It is usu-
ally best Tor them to know that the
ca plain is on deck, that the father is in
Many parents excuse themselge for
loose discipline and Indifference to
home government at the present time
by depending upon the multiplied or
gan1zaticns of the church, such as /. g
Young Peoples Union, the Epwoi:i.
Lesge, Juvenile Missionary Society ,and
Sunday-school and similar organiza
tions, to look after the religious and
mora! training OF their children. These
are merely auxiliary in
Auences for good, but they are not
suited to take the place Of home train
ing. The father and the mother
ought to be In the confidence OF the
child. They should make companions
of their children, and to make the full
grown, well-rounded, upright citizen
the foundation must be laid at home.

Insolvency returns, classified according

with the corresponding three months Of

prepared by branch offices Of R. G. Dun

ures are concerned, IT appears that thlr-
teen classes reported fewer defaults. the

failures. and In that case the difference
was only two, while some of the decreases
were notable--such MS sixteen In lnu-
chlnery, eleven In clothing, fourteen in
foot,Wear and ten In miscellaneous. AS
to the amount OF defaulted indebtedness
only four OF the fourteen classes suffered
a heavier loss this year: machinery. lum-
ber printing and miscellaneous. or thisse

meats. This was the heaviest division In
both years, as Is. customary. IN amount
of defaulted Indebtedness, six of the

reported smaller losses, The heaviest In

decrease Of about $2,3 900, largely be-
cause OF q single very large disaster last
year. Miscellaneous failures recorded
about 100000 smaller liabilities. but other
differences We're cs&lparatlvely, small. In
the third division, embracing brokerage,

two principal classes OF manufacturing
and trading, failures were scarcely more
