Big Meadow fiourishes under q

The forest ranger is the head of it.
In THE Pass Stewart Edward White
gives the forest rangers idea of edu-
eating a boy.
In grove near the camp was an
out-of-door smithy and woodworking
shop. There every conceivable job
of repair and manufacture was un-
dertaken. While l was watching the
ranger bluing rifle sight one of the
younger boys brought up horse and
began rather bunglingly to shoe the
animal.
"The boy is a little inexperienced"
ventured to suggest, after a time.
Aren't you afraid he'll lame the
horse?"
The ranger glanced up. Every
one of the boys has to do his own
shoeing and repairing of all kinds"
said he. He's been shown how, and
he'll just have to learn. made up
my mind some time ago that l would
rather have a horse weak in his hoof
than a boy weak in his intellect.
81 have eight boys of all ages, and
I've given lot of thought to them,"
he continued. They are getting the
best education l can buy for them;
man does not get far without 1t.
And then, besides. l am teaching
them to be thorough, and to do
things with their hands as well as
with their heads. Turn, em loose,
that's the way to do it Teach them
to take care OF themselves. and then
they will. Why, the youngster is all
over the hills, and he is only six years
old"
l said that the day before we had
seen him over the divide.
'Yes, and some day when he gets
left over divide somewhere by acci-
dent, he'll get back all right; and
when he grows up he will be more
fond Of divides than of pool-rooms
and saloons"
Certainly these supple boys could
all pass examinations in the Arabic
education of man, ito ride, shoot
and speak the truth"
