which induce our boys and girls of
the farm to join in the pursuit of
the glittering and fanciful standard
of city life rather retard than &C.
celerate those impulses and efforts
which would ultimately lead US to
success. Besides there are but few
real advantages that the city offers
that the country could not we'll
obtain if it is not already possessed
of them.
1t is claimed and generally ad-
mitted that the schools of the city
are far superior to the chools of
! the country. We grant this claim,
but it still remains a fact that
many of our great men sucn as Lin
coin, Grant, our much beloved and
lamented Gov. Johnson and host
of others, received their funda-
mental if not their entire schooling
IN the country.
The country child born in the
bosom of nature, if susceptible to
outward influences cannot help but
imbibe those elements that conspire
to bring about healthy and vigor-
GUS condition both physically and
mentally. In early childhood her
eyes open on the soft. varying.
everchanging nature surrounding
him. Each succeeding day shows
new forms and shades of life for
the one whose senses are not entire.

as monotony. In the book of ma
ture as the sun sets 50 seems one
page read, but as the dawn breaks
the darkness into day another page
presents itself.
A country child at the age Of
twelve, although apparently lack.
ing in technicalities of school has
more practical knowledge than :
much older child of the city. The
poet Whittier has we'll described
the country child in the following
lines:
"Health that mocks the doctor:

knowledge never learned at schools
lOf the Wild-bee's morning chase,
tOf the wild-howers time and place
Flight of fowl, and habitude.
Uf the tenants of the wood;
How the tortoise bears his shell,
How the woodchuck digs his cell,
| And the ground mole sinks his we'll
How the robin feeds her young,
How the orioles nest is hung;
Where the whitest lilies blow,
Where the freshest berries grow,
Where the ground nut trails it's vine
Where the wood. grapes cluster
shine;
Of the black wasp's cunning way,
Mason of his walls of clay.'

There is an effort on the part Q

Born In BOstOu-but--
Bosros, Oct. Is, 1910.
To the Editor Of the American:
Yesterday, Oct. II, gentleman met me
ON the street in Boston and called my At
tention to the fact that the ELLSWORTH
AMERICAN stated that l was born in 6cdg-
wick, Maine. This morning received
from my relative, Pearl B. Day, OF Els
worth, . marked copy of your paper.
In the first place let mo say that have
the pleasantest recollections Of your paper
because when ~ boy used TO visit my
grandparents on Biuehill Neck. THE
AMERICAN was read by me every week -
soon - received. In those days, there
was generally story in it, and - was .
great story reader, the rest Of my grand
fathers family had to sit with folded
hands until got through with the story
in the paper.
Now, to start with, there il Z slight error.
i was not born in Maine, but in Boston,
where have lived all my days. But my
good mother was born on Bluehiil Neck,
where one Of her brothers, Capt. Dayid Day,
nov ninety years OF e&e, II Sill nvlnR. But
from the time was born until after I
arrived at my majority, every summer
was spent by me ON Bluehill Neck, and a.
. boy I secured the woods OF BluehiIl,
Sedgwick and Brooklin, cunning and
berrying.
Long Island, the scene OF the story Of
ssStillman Gott", always had . peculiar
attraction for me, and there ID no part Of
the country which have visited that to
my mind 10 90 beautiful ~ the section OF
Maine included in Hancock county; nor
are there any better people. II there are
any better people, they are not ON this
earth; they have been translated.
Yours very truly,
