WHAT A FARM ROY DID

- HE Ohio State Journal notes that
Mearl May, a 14-year-old boy of
i Auglaize county, that State, by
his own efforts raised 143 bushels
of corn on an acre of ground. 1t is
said the boy planted. cultivated and
managed the entire enterprise.
How grand it would be for Ohio if
it had a thousand such enterprising
and persevering boys. says the Journal.
And we might add. how grand such
a thing would be for Pennsylvania.
But there are forces at work here that
would keep farm boys of the age of
Mearl May from doing any work on
the farm. There are extremists who
believe that the Legislature should for
bid farm boys from engaging in just
such labor as that in which young
Mearl took such great delight, and
from which he no doubt reaped health.
strength and mental and moral uplift
as we'll as a record crop of corn. 1t
is right that every protection should
be thrown about the boy and girl of
tender years. The little folks called
from school to work by the necessities
of ill-fortune ought to have every ad-
vantage the law is able to afford, but
in our desire to do our full duty by
them we should be careful not to
overstep the boundaries of reason and
common sense.
