radian cities.
Possibly few people realize that the
sanitary problem presented 10y the
Great Lakes is the biggest OF the KIM
in tho world. 1t is asserted 10y the
experts Of the commission that the
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain regarding the pollution
Of these waters is being violated at
every point of contact from the Lake
of the Woods TO the St Lawrence.
The situation now has become so Sc
rious that comprehensive plans will
have TO he adopted. ana probably they
VIII he expensive. 1t is not unlikely
that the use of these waters for the
deposit of sewage will be forbidden
Chairman TawncS and Sanitary Ex-
pert G. T.. l.aughlin of the commission
are now engaged i'm the preparation Of
twelve or fifteen questions to be sub
mitted To the most eminent sanitary
engineers in the world. These ques-
tions viii state the conditions found
by the American and Canadian sani-
tary experts to exist along this water
frontier, as the result of bacteria
loeical examination of thousands of
samples of water taken from the riv-
ers and lakes forming the nterna-
tiunaI boundary.
With this Information i'm hand. the
sanitary engineers will he asked.

joint commission then will give n
series of HEARINGS from one end of the
system of the Great Lakes to the
other. Aiding them will hc the best
sanitary engineers to be employed n
the United States and the best to be
found in Canada
The purpose Of the hearings will be
. In Ga l,
Gus municipalities exactly as il is and
learn from the different municipal au-
thorities how far the various cities
ana towns are able to go i'm the matter
of a remedy.
This will require some fine Judgment
AS the final recommendation to be sub

United States and Canada will have To-
lac within the means OF the municipali-
ties affected.

POWER OF FARM-BRED BOY
He Is Not Coddled or Helped Over
Rough Places as City Youth 10,
but Learns Independence.

(By f. VAN BENTHUYSEN)
The farm is the place to give the
boy a good start in life. 1t is there
that he learns independence OF
thought and action. He is not cod
died or helped over the rough places
as the city boy is. He is forced to
depend upon himself: and at the age
when the city boy is tied to his nurses
apron strings. the country lad not only
takes care of himself but often as
sists materially in the farm work. He
rides horseback. goes atield with the
team, investigates the habits OF birds
and animals, and acquires thirst for
knowledge.
The city boy moves in grooves that
have been cut out for him by custom.
He is herded in the city cars, crowded
and driven like cattle. He must fol-
low the crowd in the streets. His
vision is bounded by the lines of high
buildings; he never sees the sun rise.
or set; he is bound down by preju-
dices, dwarfed by mannerismS, and
consumed By customs. The farm boy
dreams of the outside world which he
has never seen; he strains at the
tether OF his humdrum duties and
signs for bigger worlds to conquer
He is fighting battles while pitching
hay and running railroads while driv-
ing the reaper
When he finally breaks away and

rugged health, courage and independ-
ence. The world looks easy TO him
He Is often disappointed but oftener
he makes his dreams come true
He is used to hardships He does
not whine when he is knocked down
in the strife of the big city. He has
learned to depend on his own re-
sources. He has physical power and
intellectual equipment to win over
obstacles that would down the city
boy The country is inspiring; the
city is eneryating and surfeiting.
Many of the really big men who
dominate the affairs in the big cities
came from the farm. 1t Is stated as |
a fact that seven-tenths of the men |
who control the banks and railroads |
and other great industries of Chicago |
and New York are farm-bred.
Not all the boys, however. who |
leave the farm succeed. Many fail |
because they have been forced to |
leave the farm on account Of unfavor-
able conditions and are untitled to
cope with the larger affairs of life In
the big cities. But those who do sue.
coed rise to greater heights than city
bred boys with larger opportunities.
We doubt the wisdom Of trying to |
keep boys on the farm who possess
the courage and creative ability and
which 60 to make great
men in other lines of business. Let
them go. These boys are not going
TO destruction in the city. Not by
any means. The boy who has the
right spirit and good home training
seldom goes wrong. The cities call
them and they are needed there to
supply fresh blood and brains and en-
ergy to the ceaseless demands Of civ
lization and worldwide endeayor.
But the demand for good men on the
farm is also insistent Boys who
in the country and make the
most OF their opportunities cannot
help but succeed In their calling-a
Ealing as honorable and useful and
satisfying as any other In the world.
