People wonder why the boys want to
leave the farm and try their fortunes in
the large city. There is but very little
wonder when the matter is looked into.
Too little effort is made to make the
homes from which the boys want to run
away, attractive. The almighty dollar,
too, often gets in the way. Boys are not
wild animals; they do not need pounding
because they do not do their work as
well as other persons.

Home life is the sure test of home
character. Let the husband grow cross
and sury, and the wife grow cold and
unamiable. The children grow cross and
savage as young bears. The father be-
comes callous, peevish, hard, kind of
a two-legged brute with clothes on. The
wife bristles in self-defence. They de-
velop an unnatural growth and sharpness
of teeth and the house is haunted by ugli-
ness and domestic brawls. This is not
what the family circle should be. If one
must be rude to any. let it be to some
one that he does not love--not to his
wife, brother or parents.

There are Patagonians, Hawaiians,
Eskimos. all sorts of Indians. a family
of Igorrotes and altogether about 20
groups Each of them is shown en-
gagged in some characteristic tribal
work. The Eskimos are loading seal
