The More Effective Way.

The sign, Boy Wanted" is more ire quent in windows and in advertise ment columns, than 1t was a year ago. Between improved economic condi- tons and laws enforcing school attend ance, it has come to pass, in the Unlf- ed States, that few lads who want work need go unemployed. On the other hand, never were school and col leges so crowded, and administrators so put to it to find room for pupils or high school and college age. In this way, far more effectively than by spe- citie statutory enactment, is child la Dor being reduced.-Christian Science Monitor.
