GIVE THE BOY A CHANCE.

There is no doubt" says the Pro-
gressive Farmer, that if farmers
would make farm life more attrac-
tive and less of dreary drudgery, the
boys who are suited to be farmers
would be attracted to the farm and
would return there after getting
the proper education. But the duty
of the farmer, as is the duty of every
man, is to give the boys and girls
the very best education he can. An,
education that will educate not only
the mind, but train the hands to en-
able the man to do something that
the world needs having done. The
fact that a boy has been raised on
the farm does not mean that he is
always the man for the farm. His
education may open to him lines of
usefulness in which he will make
better success than on the farm it.
self, and, if he has the advantage of
good agricultural college education,
agriculture will be all the better
if he finds that he is better suit
ed to be a scientist in the sciences on
which agriculture is founded, than if
he returned to the farm with long
ing to be engaged in those scientific
pursuits. The experiment stations
look to the colleges to train men for
their work, and the farms need the
trained investigators in the stations
fully as much as they need farmers
on the farms.
''Give the boy real practical edu-
cation and then let him take his nat
ural bent, for if he was cut out for
a farmer he will get to the farm
eventually. 1t is the uneducated boys
who drift hope1essly to the cities.
The boy trained in a good agricul-
tural college will always have place
open to his abilities, for as Mr.. Car
negie once said: The world is al
ways on the hunt for men with edu-
Gated minds and trained hands, AS
I have before said, this agricultural
education is the hope of the South,
whether the boys go back directly
to the farm or not, for they will be
a force in the advancement of the
work wherever they 60"

But the funds which wer epaid out
by the company for the mainten-

taken out of moneys which would
otherwise have been applied to the
salaries of the men, women and

Manufacturing associates, made up
of men who We're members of the
Ludlow Manufacturing Co, were
organized. The Ludlow Manufac-
turing Co. held the buildings and
the town, but the Ludlow Manu-
featuring associates operated them.
In this way the men who were az

the necessity of reporting their
earning to the state of Massachu-
sets. The public has only the
word of Sydney Stevens, director
OF the. associates. that the associ-
ates do not make more than 10 or
IL per cent on their investment.
Under the associates the welfare
work was continued with renewed
energy: The Ludlow village became
famous among sociologists. who
pointed out the beauties of the vii
lage, the scientific homes, the hos
pital, the library and the textile
school as models of what good

dies from her eyes until there is

gambler, she pins her faith on the
last letter; the last letter is for
someone, why should it not be for
her? Nearer and nearer the swift
fingers draw to the last one and
