We know father in a neigh
boring town in this county who
used to talk to his boys like he
did to vicious animals, and who
used strap on them at random.
He said he was curbing their
dispositions. In years to come
every one of those lads went to
the bad. In age they had no
more respect for that father than
they did for satan. By some
means a father should gain the
love and admiration of his boys.
Rev. Geo. l.. McDougall and
family depart this week for

able and learned minister of the
gospel that has presided in this

many friends here go with him

of labor.

The more pleasing and pleas
ant our government can make
farm life the better it is for the
government. Our cities are
over-crowded with worthless
loafers that might be honorable
and respectable farmers. The
rural route is one of the things
that has been provided to make
farm life more desirable and at
tractive, and as we all have to
live OF the farmers nothing
should be left undone that could
be done to make farm life in
viting.
While the modern system OF
school work may be deficient in
some respects, and NO doubt the
tendency is to take on more work
and too many. branches of study
for the pupil to master thorough
ly in the time the average boy OF
girl is allowed for schooling, YET
there is fault on the part of the
parents which is persistently
left out of account in the argu.
ment of the critic. The pupils,
especially in the higher grades,
are allowed TO spend the nights
during the week in varieus
amusements which distract their
minds from school work, and the
loss of sleep incapatiates them
from good work during schoo
hours.
