II CROW'S=NEST


A popular book of a few years ago
was entitled when Knighthood Was
in Flower" 1t dealt with tournaments
and contests for the favor of ladies',
hands. From recent occurrences a
sort of pseudo-knighthood is still in
flower and what are known as Jane
affairs" are somewhat common. The
present day authorities, however,
frown down upon the lourishing of
dangerous weapons in such contests
and only such means Of offense and
defense as nature furnishes are tacti-
ly permitted to be used to settle diff
~ferences in such cases.
1t is said that many people leave
their farms and nov to cities and
towns on account of their being dis
contented with rural life and its con
ditions. The trouble with most of
those who abandon farm life is, that
they do not leave their discomfort be-
hind them when they make a change
and are not always satisfied with the
new conditions they find in their chos-
locations. They need to change
their state of mind as well as to
change locations.
The song Where is My Wandering
Boy Tonight" which was 50 much in
vogue not so very long ago ought to
have its counterpart in one about wan
dering girls. The chances are that the
are out with the wandering boys
at hours of the night when they should
be at home with their mother. If girls
could hear the comments of older peo-
pie who are detained down town after
business hours attending meetings, or
going to, or coming from, trains, they
would be very much surprised. The
cUrfew ordinance was passed for a
we~ll-intended purpose and the basis
for many causes of chagrin on the part
of parents, and often worse calamities,
is to be found in the utter disregard Of
the provisions of the ordinance, which
requires boys and girls under a certain
age to be at home after nine o'clock
in the evening, unless accompanied by
a parent or guardian, or are upon some
lawful errand.

home of this, or that, family is not dis

in the majority it has become, what
you might say, common and of little
interest. The natural things are un-
noticed. AS in the case of Nature, we
marvel not for it has been with us
thing more than a passing thought,
The American people are in a general
sense, looking for the new, the sensa-
tional, and the unusual.
Where this craze for the new will
lead to, few feel able to predict. 1t is,
to a large and alarming extent, leading
the young people from the home and
breaking down gradually those bull
warks of family strength that has in
the past meant SO much toward Great
ing strong and sturdy manhood and
womanhood.
The remedy for this condition will
be found not in any institutions, but in
the home. And its application falls to
the home.
The basis and sustaining foundation
of a child is built in the home and it is
expanded and made more useful by
education and business training. The
base is the moral and social code and
it is impaired gradually and apparent
ly unseen. This code must come from
the home in just the same manner that
plant life must receive certain ele-
ments from the soil. There are no
substitutes, for either the home, or the
soil.
The rearing Of children comes only
within the home and it fails equally on
the father and mother. If it is shifted
TO either one, or the other, a sacred
obligation is being evaded to those
that came into this world not at their
bidding, and to those that are absolute
ly dependent upon lee Their
degree and measure of success and
happiness in life is insured in proper
ton to the care and interest received
from both the father and the mother.
The education falls on both Just as
surely as does the rearing of the child.
Some contend that the education
comes outside the home, and therefore,
falls to the father but it should not be
considered q. However, the intimate
and continued contact the mother has
with the child makes her the more
powerful one to direct the training and
map out to some degree the future of
the child or rather start the child in
the right direction. In this the mother
is placed In a most important position
as the home Is verify the foundation of
the Nation and what she gives, or fails
to give, to the child Is felt In every con
dition and walk of life affecting col
lectively the entire social and political
fabric of the Nation. The mothers
have always had the power to be world
rulers. It has been said that-"The
hand that rocks the cradle rules the
world" In times past this statement
was probably correct but It seems
doubtful now. However. It could be %
