old people had never taken very kind

farming. 1t was only after long-con-

oppose his plans.
Even then they could lend him no
aid. The family pocketbook was
hardly able to supply the necessities;
there was no provision for the cause
Of education. Consequently, the sue

four years work gave him the right
to believe that he had chosen wisely.
