GIVE REALITY TO THE CHILD
Writers of the Nineteenth Century
Responsible for Valuable Addl-
ton to Literature.

Children were only found yesterday.
Before the nineteenth century the
child mind and the child heart were
not supposed to have enough In them
TO interest the majestic adult. 1t La
true that you find delightful baby
in Homer; that in Vergil there Is the
prettiest glimpse Of little girl, and
up and down in the classics you may
meet half dozen other pleasant
shadows OF children. But they are
only shadows, only at the most charm
ing pictures. They give you as much
as II they We're painting or sculpture
for In children's bodies art has al
ways had interest enough-only what
g child looks like, the pretty weak
ness. the instinct for play. the native
gesture and movement. Not till the
return to nature" not till the spirit
Of romance moved on the waters at
the end Of the eighteenth century. do
you find poets beginning to tell of the
thought and faith in childs mind,
the mysteries OF the childs heart, the
fancies that are dreams and the fan
cies that are visions. You may think
that they have gone too far, that they
read into childhood the laborious
philosophizing and sometimes the la
bored sentlmentality OF the adult. But
no one who loves children will deny
that the best OF the children In nine
teenth century books have far richer
reality, far fuller life than any that
were born In earlier words. And some
OF the best are In Dickens.

Mr.. G S. Harris is not a member of
the boys corn club, he makes no
claims Of being scientific farmer or
of bringing to light new theories in
agriculture, bnt firmly believes that
doors, rather than theories, will solve
the problem of larger yield, better
kept farms and more profitable return.
\ good portion of his time was spent
on the farm last summer and lie re-
ports that every acre he cultivated in
corn made more than so bushels, while
his 8acre field, in front of his dwell
ing, weighed out 81 bushels per acre.
Heavy rains damaged this field, very
much in early spling, which, as he
thinks. prevented him from making
20 barrels per acre, the quantity he
had planned to produce.
