That is not the way the average

School life is made more attractive

and forbidding. going around with
cane or birch in hand to fog pupils

so as they will appreciate their adj

man who wins in the race of life.
and all parents should give their
children as good an education as

Spread of the Cholera.

There is not much danger of the
cholera plague, now ravaging in Rus.
sia, reaching western Europe, and
still less this country. Disease and
dirt flourish to gether, but as civiii-
cation advances, the habits of peO.
pie become more cleanly and when
that IS the case half the battle against
the plague and other pestilences is
won. Add to that the vistories Of
modern science and well nigh any
community may be rendered immune
against disease.
One has but to think Of the tri-
umph in Cuba and other places
over the yellow fever to realize how
true that is. 1t is interesting to note
in connection with the presesnt prH-
caution against the plague. the i'm
portant part wireless teleeraphy is
playing. Vessels equipped with ii
can when FAR from land. notify the
authorities Of the presence, if any
of plague among them.
The cholera plague has killed oven
seventy thousand people since il
started in Russia few months back
This statement is somewhat alarm.
ing. but it must be remembered thai
Russia is backward in sanitary mat.
ters as she is in most everything
else. In no other country on the
globe could cholera get such a hole
as it has gotten in Russia. So there
need be no fear Of its reaching thi:
country.

Back to the Farm.

AT one time many people thought
that a farm was fit only. for the stu
pidest boy in family.55All the bright
boys were supposed to have too good
a business or professional head to be
wasted in farming, and they were
sent 20 the city to become, many of
them, Indifferent business men and
lawyers. J: Now it is recognized that
the old idea of happy-go-lucky, or
rule-of-thumb farming is wrong and
that any one VINO follows it will in
5yaribly be at the tail end of the
procession.
In truth it requires brain to run
q farm, but the man who has them
and who has the disposition wins
out ard is the most independent
man in existence, and he ought to
be the most contented. 1t was the
erroneous idea that the farm was no
place for a bright young man that is
responsible in a large measure FOR
the young men leaving the farm and
going to the cities and towns, where
many of them eke out miserable
existence.
This has gone on to such an eX-
tent that the cry, is now back to the
farm," and some countries are offer
ing inducements to get the young
men to 20 back to the farm. ons
effective way to do this is the ac-
Quisition by the State or some other
authority Of large tracts of lands.
dividing 1t up into allotments OF
small but varying size and induc-
ing people to buy them and settle
upon them. Great Britain is doing
this with marked success in England
and Ireland. OF course 1t involves
financial aid to the settler and this
is given at low rate of interest.

Some Stupid Britains.

Some Enslishmen, with a woful
lack of. common sense, proposes that
a new title, that of Emperor of toe
British" be given George v. When
one thinks of the great opposition
that the assumption Of the title En-
press of India" by Queen Victoria
evoked, and further reflects upon the
rapid growth OF democracy in Bri-
tain in the last thirty years. it is
clear that the suggestion will not
