IN THE WORLD or JUNIORS
Penal Code Sensible and Most Effec-
tive for Punishment of Child
ish Faults.

Public opinion sways the child
world. Sometimes this opinion is Greet
ed by what an intelligent child has
learned though older people, some
times 1t comes of the children's own
reasoning. And the child who fails
in the etiquette demanded from him
by his own world is punished in the
surest and severest way. Public opin-
ion is against him or his misdeed; he
must remain on the outside until he
has proved his repentance. There
may be suggestion for older people
in this method of treating offenders
In their midst Punishment by the
family's ostracism may bring a rude
or indifferent-mannered little person
to terms sooner than anything else.
Emerson had a little daughter, Ell
len, who once told lie. She was not
punished in the way that you or |
might think wise All the children liz
the family were brought together and
told that something very dreadful had
Happened in their family; Ellen had
told lie. They must not romp or
play or sing. for Ellen had told lie.

TO TRAIN EMPLOYEES
IDEA OF LIVING ALL WRONG
Present System Has Nothing Emo
bling-EsaIly Means Only
Daily Round of Toll.

Making a living is not living; max
ing a living is only means of living
We have not thought of this, Of
course. We are so asked in the work
that We have net the time in which
to recover for reflection. We never
do recover Ourselves Our selves are
lost drowned in the flood of labor
and the waves of competition. We
are so accustomed to spend the best
days of our lives in efforts to keep
alive that living is come to mean
working in order to be able to go
on working. The wage is not the
stepping-srone to independence; 1t is
the exchange value of the indispensa-
bic daily bread. 60 ingrained In us
is this habit of work that we even
count ourselves happy when we have
secured position which assures US
the work. Like the laun fess who
thought herself lucky in the husband
who saw to 1t that she did not want
days washing, we also are CRATE
full that each tomorrow finds the
work ready for our hands to co. For
work means food and shelter; and
food and a shelter means life Life,
quota. God help u.s.
1t is a melancholy utanam, as Sir
Thomas Browne would say, this in
human craving for work-the cry of
the starving for food tho prayer of
the lost for success, the petition of
the condemned for respite. The will
to live Is so strong in us and the
way to live so narrow !, crowded,
that the market for labor is like
battlefield with the fight still going
on. For we have found out but one
means of living-killing the weaker
and taking his place and yet the
work we get is not for the fulfilment
of the spirit; it does not ennoble us.
We grasp after 1t with the convulsive,
passionate hands of the drowning
man stretching for a spar that will
float him to a haven; and when the
haven Is reached we find ourselves
harnessed to a mortar-wheel. Like
stupid oxen or blind horses we go,
henceforward. round and round in
daily grind. And mans free spirit is
killed Thou toiiest for the alto
gether indispensable, for daily bread"
What a satire on living is this max
ing a living Temple Scott, in the
Forum.

The work one does is almost the
whole of his life. Mere money is not
a sufficient equivalent for the life thus
given Industrial conditions should
be such that workers are not only
able to get the money they need 10
live, but also 10 bring into their lives
the satisfaction that comes from ex
pressing themselves In congeniai
work. A woman has as much right to
do this as a man and she should be
left as free as man; in fact. she
should be left absolutely free without
comparison OF any kind whatever to
exercise this right.

GOOD ROADS AID EDUCATION
How Future of Twelve Children Was
Directly Affeated-Where They
Travelled and Why.

What does e. good road mean to
rural school? What does a good road
mean to rural community socially?
A certain township in southeast
Kansas saw fit to construct two miles
of rock road, from a small town south
through a rural school district, says
the Kansas Industrialist Six children
of school age lived on farms adjacent
to the rock road, and six on the same
length of earth road in the west part
of the school district. The earth road
was in poor condition most of the
time.
The children on the good road went
to city schools, walking most of the
time. The children on the almost inn
passable road went to a rural school.
At that time the instruction in the
town school was not any better than
the rural school, in the common
branches. The city school was not
what 1t ought to have BEEN The rural
school was noted for its excellent in
structors
Two of the children living on the
cultural colleges, two are seniors in
high school, and two are freshmen in
high schools. All of them are inter
ested In agriculture, will graduate from
agricultural courses, and return to the
farm
Two children living adjacent to the
earth road finished the rural school.
Their interest in education was bal
anced against the almost impossible
condition of the road the greater part
of the school year. Now they are
hardly average farmers. Forr became
discouraged and quit the rural school
before they were graduated Three
of them are day laborers in nearby
town. The fourth is owner of a small
| restaurant in the same town.
The children of the rock road walked
to church. Sunday school and lee
lures, and attended the social events
in town and in the country adjacent
to the rock road.
II hardly seems possible that
stretch of two to four miles of poor
road would make such s. difference in
ones life, does it? But 1t did

ments to make it pay, SO she under

magnetism; she got pupils, but she
could not hold them Number two
was natural musician, but had had
slender advantages; she had trouble
in getting pupils. as she had no i'm
portant credentials, but she rarely lost
a pupil once secured; however, her
classes dwindled, for she soon taught
them all she knew. At last the two
women hit upon practical plan; they
co-operated. Number two engaged the
pupils, awakened in their souls aspira-
ton to do good work and, after carry
ing them to point where they were
deeply interested, turned them over
to the other teacher; the two divided
the profits and made a good thing of
it.
So often cooperation would make
success of several careers, where COM
petition puts them all out of business.
