INFLUENCE OF THE SCHOOL ON
LIFE.
by Marcel Provost, Member of the
French Academy.

The school will take hold OF the
child when still very young and
holds 1t until il is nearly grown up
Is ut present the object of a heated
in France, n discussion
carried on in our Parliament as we'll
AS in our daily press.
That the school exerts a great
influence upon the growing child is
beyond doubt: but still there are
very earnest and very intelligent
men who assert that it is by no
means sure that the soul of the
school permanently influences the
soul of the child. Some of these in
slst that the school is really pow
crless to modify for any length of
time the character and moral ten
denotes of the young future citi-
zen.
This is the eternal and profound
problem which faces every sincere
educator when he takes up his task.
Are we able to do anything to
mould the nature and character of
the child?. If we are really able to
exert any influence, is not this IN
fluence really passing-is not it's
effect lost as soon as il ceases to
exert itself and the young boy or
girl starts on his career in life?
Like all other problems in social

Mems Arch Support Shoes
$500

Case Arch Support Shoes not only relieve
foot troubles and fallen arches but give long
and satisfying wear. They made of the best
materials thrOughout--no paper artificial in
soles or heels, nothing but the solid leather
and the finest kid. The spring arch support is of
course of tempered steel and works in space
entirely enclosed by leather. This piece of metal
is fastened one end only and works smoothly
with each forward movement of the foot The
device embodies all the good points of other arch
supports and eliminates the many Objectionable
features found in many of them.
1t is mistake for persons to wait until they
have broken arches before wearing Case Arch
Support Shoes. By wearing these shoes regularly
the trouble will be avoided and much pain and
inconvenience avoided. Ninety per cent of the
men can be perfectly fitted from regular stock
shoes.

May Pay a Fine

The Bennington county farmer
shot a deer which he found damaging
his crops but neglected to specify the
fact to the game warden within the
time limit prescribed by the existing
statute. Consequently he may be
compelled to pay a fine identical TO
that of a hunter who shoots one of
the animals out of season. Farmers
who desire to shoot deer under the
act passed during the last session of
the legislature should familarize
themselves with the provisions of
that measure before doing so-Mout-

As in days of yore.
This shadow is but twilight,
Soon it will be dawn;
Gods bright light shall follow night,
For ever on and on.

Into each life some sorrow must come,
When loved ones part.
