ByINy ALICE US GRANT

In this instal11nent Aunt Julia
tells something Of the methods used
at the Berry school for making real
men out OF the boys who come there.
Likewise, she knows that the plan
has worked most successfully. The
next chapter will tell of Aunt Julia's
impressions Of Faith cottage, where
tiny protege Of The r1-Weekly's
Letter BOX children will find homo.
The Journey" comes to an END with
a message about Faith cottage.
Along the road is just a beautiful
forest from which the boys have
cleared the underbrush and through
which they have built fine lanes and
roads. Back of this is the farm and
here the boys are taught to plant
and gather crops, learning always
the best way to do it. so when they
go back to their own farm, why,
there will be so much less loss of
time and money, It isn't a case of

It's a big life to be at Berry and
it makes incentive hundred or more
of the graduates and ex-students
from Berry school served their coun-

ton class of last year put a bronze

where these boys had worshiped in
the good, old-fashiened way.
There's nothing crowded about the
school-it gives such a feeling of
being able to breathe and grow. The
buildings are good, attractive and
lasting and best of all, most of
them the boys built under a master
carpenter. When we passed one of
the largest buildings and 1 was told
that was the dining hall, all of sud

over 100 girls-all healthy and hun
cry!
That brought me straight up
against the thought Of how much
it must cost the school to run and
how hard Miss Berry has to work to
make this dream possible. She gives
all she has, and begs and begs and
hegs, and everybody ought to want
to help, for most of the students can
only give about one-third of what it
costs to keep them there.
Miss Berry has been offered all
sorts of money If she would take city
boys into her school, but her schools
are for the children who are away
from the towns and cities where boys
and girls can get their education
with so little trouble.
AS we, drove through those
boys and girls, for that is Joy
Place as well as a school, and L
would like to picnic on those lovely
slopes, only we would have had to be
very careful to straighten everything
up, for, the boys keep, the. grounds

them that reads, please help keep

the work Is done by students, and
all are social equals. No work is
mental except work poorly done.

I am asking you for advice, for
1 feel if I should ask for advice
from my parents they would refuse
it. My father always did quarrel
with us girls, now all of them have
left home but me, and I know he
doesn't want me to go anywhere and
when I do, he curses and quarrels
always did hate to buy us anything
and we always tried to work out and
earn our clothes. 1 try to do every
thing I can to please him and al
ways do what I am told to do. Do
you think 1 would be better off if
I should leave home? I cannot stand
this miserable life. am only seven
teen. Do you think I am old enough
to leave home. and could my father
bring me back home to stay?
Do you know where 1 could get the
address of the navy department and
the particulars of how L can join
the navy?
How is my handwriting? Please
print this as soon as possible.
Thanking you in advance.
ANXIOUS.
Yours is a very sad case in
deed. ] know of more than one
case where the father was the
cause of driving his children
away from home. And in his old
age he will whimper and whine
because his children will not sup
port him. Love, begets love, and
parents should have plenty of
love and understanding and a
fairly broad view of life, if they
expect their children to love and
respect them. He could make you
return home, until you are of
age. But suppose you go to him
in a tactful manner and ask his
advice about going away from
home, to accept a position. Tell
him how anxious you are to be
sclf-supporting. Use your very
best behavior toward him, and
control yourself He may see
your viewpoint, and give you
permission. There is a way to
10 everything. But you have
my sympathy. Just be patient,
and try to keep your temper, for
after all he is your father,
though 1 must admit he i'll de-
serves the honor. You might
write a letter to the recruiting
zee at Charleston, S. c., and
ask them about the navy prop
cSition. Your handwriting Is eA-
