JUDGE A MAN BY THE

Breeders Gazette: A farm is
the landscape Of the owners
heart and the reflex Of has mind.
If a man can be judged by his
clothes, he can more truly be
read by his farm, which is an ex-
tension Of his vestments. Beauty
and order can never be appreci-
ated as a part Of environment I'M
til they are inner realities. What
a man is, inevitably reveals it.

a picture of peace and plenty, re-
presents the unfolding and ex-
preston of it's owners ideals.
1t is the wonderous canvas on.
which he leaves the subtle strokes
of genious or mediocrity. 1t is
to the interested onlooker a kind
of autobiography. Wherefore a
farm is exceedingly interesting as
an index of the character Of its
owner.

all are working together for the

this county will be well settled.

SPEND MORE TIME
MAKING GOOD CITIZENS

Some day we are going to see
what a great opportunity we!hava
missed in not utilizing the public
school system of the country to
make good and honorable men
and women.
There has been too much made
out Of the bugaboo Of religion"
in the public schools. We have
COMPOUNDED it with morality-and
we have used the word "re-
igion" when we meant s~ectarian-
ism. Nobody objects to simple
religion, except a few atheists
and everybody in his right mind
and not degenerate IS in favor
of morality, even though he may
have has own shortcomings.
The teaching of morals is held
up as a high pedagogical ideal.
but it is usually followed afar
off. We are too busy training
brainf and hand, and in trying
to build up good physical consti-
buttons as we'll to give, much at
tention to character. The result
is that a vast number Of perfect
ly good boys and girls are being
worse than wasted every year,
and a lot of excellent citizens in
both sexes utterly spoiled in the
making because nobody has been
responsible for their characters.
It is a long time off, but it is
possible to have the schools so or
gained and manned with con-
scientious and able teachers that
every pupil will have individual
attention, and will be brought to
be good and decent. There are
teachers, here and there, who
take this broad and sympathetic
view Of their work, but they are
comparatively few and they have
little encouragement. It takes
all their time to keep the young
STEERS up to passing grades while
morals 60 glimmering.
It used to be regarded as the
duty Of the parents to train up
children in the way they should
go. There is a greater laxity
here every year. Some day it.
will be recognized that the state
must in self-protection undertake
the moral training Of it's children
or its citizenship will deteriorate
below the line Of safety. It is
more important to make citizens
than scholars and artizans.-
