So fundamental is the upbailding OF

should become nationa custom, in

DR.. Claxton points out that in sew
eral states Agriculture and Rural
Life Day has already been intro
duced into the schools, at the sug-
gestion of the bureau Of education. In

Are not worth one kind word said

You can kill
The despair that's in his heart
With word, and ease the smart.
So why stand you now apart

You can help a brother when

Very dear.
But absurdly you stay
And withhold what you could say
That would cheer him on his way
