Prof Geo. H. Palmer OF Harvard.

you have had little to do with
self-support. Now you are called
upon to earn your own living. From
fhfs time on honor money-getting,
money and power. Riches are the
lever Of service to the world"
Is Prof. Palmer right? Did he
state the full case? Il that good ad-
vice. Is II safe to give that notion
to an ambitious boy3
We think not. Money. is not the
standard OF success-it is merely
one medium White corpuscled fools
may honor money, but red-blooded
men honor achievement Riches are
not the lever of service to the world
brains are the lever. Does any

VACANT LOTs IN BLOSSOM.

Philadelphia has taken the lead

bred into the child's mind. beautiful

vegetables have sprung up as by
magic under childish care.

OF OF hope for more in the future.
In Philadelphia it's different. AS
soon as school is over the children
set their spades. rakes and hoes and
start an attack on the vacant lots.
Each child is his own boss. He
raises whatever he pleases, and the
result Is sometimes worth while.
The child gets fresh air while
watching the onions sprout; pleasant
and nealthful exercise by pulling up
weeds and keeping the garden clean;
and. nnally, a substantial financial
gain when the vegetables are raised
