an industrial training which shall fit
him for useful labor.

1t is plain, then that our course
must be readjusted so al to include a

With head and hand both busy, the
heart will never go astray. The rsa.
son why so many boys in our cities
are fast becoming a race of street
loafers, is because the nand and head
are both idle. The three months
summer vacation is largely response
BILE for the od-for-nothing-ness Of
the average boy. These vacations
mean three months of idleness, dis
sipatioE and moral delinquency. which
will soon tell on the young manhood
Of this nation. The average boy needs
to be kept busy by some form of hano
labor, or he will soon fall into lazy,
shittless habits which will finally
leave him without an honorable ca
reer. And what are our schools do
ing to remedy these conditions? What
can be done to help the boy? In the
first place, would lengthen the school
year to twelve months, with four
weeks vacation-one week at the end
of each three-months' term. Under
the present plan, the whole expensive
school plant lies completely idle for
three months. No business concern
with half as much capital invested az
in the average school system, would
think of taking a three-months' vaca-
