Before the Boer-British war there
was not school outside of a town of
1000 inhabitants. and not one Boer
boy or girl could read or write or count

as the savage tribes around them.
Now there are schools all over the
country. and Boer children eight and
nine years old have more education

- UR last study related to the
l times Of King Josiah and his
reformation. AT about that
time the Prophet jeremiah be
gan to speak in the name Of the Lord
Josiah was succeeded by his son. who
proved himself another bad son of
good father; and we remark here
that between the ages Of twelve and
eighteen would appear to be the tiu.,
when the majority Of boys reach
some mental decision respecting the fu
ture which has much to do with their
after lives. So far as we remember, the
majority Of notably great men have
confessed to reaching decision Of
character during this period Like
wise it Is said that the majority Of
criminals take their start In evil-doing
ut this early age.
We urge again upon parents ana
guardians the Importance Of this peri
Od in human life and the wisdom Of
giving proper care and counsel that
the blOsSOming manhood and woman-
hood may be directed in proper chan
nels and be a blessing to themselves
and others.
