Steup with a purse of money. telling him that it was their wish that he buy a bicycle.

 in Prosperity,''a Prof McKeever says: 'sTn these times of prosperity Dur country is filling up with the newly rich. who are very desirous of, secur- ing all the modern conyenlences in their homes and who are semi i-intoxi- cated with the a1lurements of social display. These especially desire such larrangements as will supply all their temporal needs by means like merely pressing a button, while they spend much time in the whirl and excite ment of society.
 f.But ease of living and debiliating garments and an over-rich dietary are the precursors of racial degeneracy anG not of social improvement. That thf children of these newly rich class ses are being neglected and spoiled in respect to all their instruction, ex- cept that given in the public schools pampered neglected~boys and girls themselves realize the serious fault in their raising only after it is too late to correct it. There is in my posses person now a young woman "A years of age. She says in part:
 T have always lived a butterfly life, but am now disgusted with it all.
 
 Quired me to do any kind of work during girlhood and now realize my dependence and worthlessness. For years this way was my routine of life; I get up. at 10 o'clock, eat a light breakfast, and go downtown with some of the girls of my set. Then we have lunch, and in the afternoon there is a card party or something of the kind at the house of the girls. At evening we go either to the thea Ire or a dance. returning in time to retire at 1 CT 2 o'clock in the morn ing. meet many young men at the party who tell me how especially de- lighted they are with my company and to dance with me, but I have learned not to take them seriously. It is all form and sham. I have all ways had my own way in everything but it now seems that it would be delightful if I were in a situation that Would simply compel me to work ="
 Lamentab1es ignorance is given as the reason for the failure of parents to train their children properly in the home. It is pointed out that they think it is time enough to train a child to work when he or she has be- come old enough to take part in pro- ductive labor. Prof. McKeever says much effort and patience should be expended in training the child in the principles fundamental to work long before he is of ssuffiicent age and strength to earn even a reasonable rate of interest on what 1t costs to teach him.

-r~Topeka, Kan, Sept. 1e.-''The time
 gill come, yea, it must come when the state will require all prospective home builders before entering the marriage relation to take thorough course in child-rearing.''
 This Is one salient sentence in a bulletin just issued by Professor Will liam A. MoKeever. Psychologist of the State. Agricultural college at Manhat- tan. It is little less striking than the statement that .sthe first children in many family are used for ex- Iperimental purposes, and though they may be well born their prospects of a useful career are b1ighted forever '' The home training bulletin issued by Professor McKeever from the Man haitian institution, dealing with the the aroused a deeper interest in child rearing and future home-building in Kansas and elsewhere than any other ucat tIonaI institution. In the homes of Kansas especially, parents are think ing seriously of how they may rear their boys and girls in health and lives and the responsibilities Of cltl7 zenship.
 "Go where you will throughout the length and breadth of this fair land of ours, and challenge you to find among the children of men more pleasing aspect than that of 8. smiling TOSY-Ch66kSQ, lH year O4Q S1IA So1b bOo in a neat loose-ftting house dress and a dainty white apron, while with a snowy tea towel in her hand she is engaged in drying the dinner dish es'' This is the picture of beauty, health, and comfort which Professor McKeever pleads for. It is to be regretted, he argues that we do not give it's just measure of honor and praise to this exalted home life, and thus divert the attention of so many girls from the airy phantoms which they are now chasing and help them to fix their affections on things that make for more substantial character.
 Novel writers and magazine artFsts are held responsible for present con- ditions Professor McKeever says that if they would cease painting so many pictures of precocious love sick debutantes and pampered, sent1- mental summer girls, and give the reading public more illustrations of such types as the sturdy, simply clad young honeAmaker, and the rosy checked unpretentious country maid of the better sort, they would contr1- bute immeasurab1y to the moral and spiritual up1ift of the race.
 He declares that it Is an anomalous condition which requires special fit ness and preparation for practically every calling and profession in hu-
 man endeavor except that of character forming and hone-building. The school teacher must produce cer- tifcate indicating a relatively high de- grees of proficiency. The state likewise holds out it's offices only to those.
