manuel labor is a disgrace has
long ago passed away. But the
fact remains that the man who
is skillful with his hands and has
a trained mind behind it is a
more useful citizen than is the
unskilled laborer. And the man
who can direct men is a more
useful citizen than he who can
only direct a plow. The dis
grace does not lie in working
with the hands but in neglecting
to train the mind behind the
hands. A man today is ashamed
to admit that he can not sign his
name. Why? For the simple
reason that with public schools
at every cross road it shows that
he neglected his opportunity.
Neglected opportunity is the dis
grace and tragedy.
So if your boy is not a club
member let him become one at
ouce, and if he is a member en-
courage him in every way. This
work trains the hand because
the boy becomes ambitious to
have things and to do things
just a little better than his
neighbor. He learns that a pig
must have a balanced ration.
Later it will not be hard for him
to understand that a man must
also have a balanced ration; and,
perhaps, even before the Can
ming Club agent has taught the
women folks, he will have learn
ed that black coffee, corn bread,
sorghum molasses and fat meat
are not a balanced ration but
produce the dreaded pellagra
and other more mysterious all
ments that floods of patent med
icine have been unable to cure.

Preparedness for life means

What are you doing for your
boy, that mite of humanity that
God entrusted to you with the
implied command to make OF
him a man? What sort of a job
are you making Of it? Don't
you want him to be a better man
than his old dad? Will he be q
better man? If not will you moi
