 There never was time when so much was done to make life appeal to the growing lad as today This is exactly ae t ought to be It is one Of tne Desz features of our present civnlketson. Along the line of civics and economies fl is very doubtful if we have made gay sdya,,ca in the last two decades. But ;n the all around development of tue
 growing boy and girl most ceznfnen la h,e prorrAss has been made. The camp
 ;n1 expeditions planned for the boys
 have everything to b. ssid in their fa-
 vor They appeal to the keen relish Tor
 snort which every healthy boy possess
 es. such as fishing, swinasnlng, poatlng
 and the so-called land games. They are
 conducted on s,ae military scheme reouir- ing oeedience, premptness. order, neat pess regularity and also correct bef;iy ca rriage. They afford A ecmpie.e change thus rreDaring for the stranucua life In the school room or workshop. FAe foun- ty extension work Of the Y. N. c. A. is to be highly commended fsr tifis hne ef activity.
 ssne weeks sge, the eepskaesps. h convention at Chicago, placed presaaen-
 tial and vice presidential candidates in the field. Naturally there was some surprise and disappointment aitaedgh Mr.
 Harding was not saark horse" or
 course g selection had to be made out of a dozen or more candidates. We aM wanted our tayorite. It was Ha&ertn- Aate-hecause utterly untfue--that the story gained currency that some of the leading candidates were attempting te buy the nomination. Nothing of chis sort attaches to the name of MT fArS- ing. Less known than some others zheR- tiened for the office. he is more and more liked as his record hecomAs known. He is the first United stntes senator. Biaite in ofice to receive the presidential nom ination. He has watched proceedings keenly and voted wisely while others have been making long speeches for
 home consumption. MT Harding enters the race with clean record both per- sonal and political.
 The middle and latter part of June all lovers of flowers must have been de- lighted with the weieelfhs and rboAeden- drons that have blossomed with such profusion. They certainly play large part in making life attractive. The cabbage may do more te keep body and soul together than tke rose, but it would be a mighty stale world if il were all cabbage and no rose. The beautiful in life helps to digest the necessary. If all vegetable life was mere food pro- duct and there were no flowers, we should probably exist, but we should not live We must have the sentimental
 as well as the real ; the poetic as well as the scientific the imaginative as well as the actual 4 single rose lifts the log cabin out of the wilderness When we realize that we are here not merely to keep the body functioning, we will plant the rhododendron not far from the cur rant and the quince. It may be that the Great Teacher meant seEaething like this when He said: Man shall net live by bread alone"
 High school and academy Eradua- tions are very thoughtful occasions for ambitious students. The boys ana girls have learned enough to stimulate a healthy desire for further study. Money wise the way is not clear for the college | or university, and hence they must l choose between stiiiHg this desire for an l education And forging ahead. Let us ap- ! p1aud the boy and girl who plunge seen- 1 ingly in the dark when actuated by 3 great purpose, The great things of the | world have been accomplished by the men and women who dared The 1 chancellor of a leading university once said to an incomirC class: 1T want nc 1 boy to leave this institution simply be. cause his Hockotbook fails him. When ! fourteen years old, Martin Luther wal sent away to school so poor that he said T was accustomed, with some com panionE. to beg food to sapply eul wants" But he beeame a doctor at tht i university. Somehow or other If the boy 1 or girl has the grit to make the ven
 ture and is willing to pay the price, tn, goal will be reached. Such boys ana girls seem to be under a special provi' | dence.
 1 Since Dar#iA's day we have beeoHi 1 familiar with the term, Reyersion ts | Type. That simply means that if Wi | stop in the breeding process the speciet does not advance in the line of develop l rAent, but drops back again to it's orig i inal status. This has been tried on ] pigeons that lose their lovely eelers wheI l the breeding process stops and they art left to themselves They soon drop fael
 to their dusky hues. If life Il any'forn goes up hill there must be some pusl behind it. Simple gravitatian vii pull -l it down hill without any effort of it, I own. There is no such thing as a stand still We are either going forward O backward, higher or lower, better O
 worse. Nothing IS more fatal than t stop being a producer, because t Is signal for Nature to begin her work o
 deterioration. What sheer viii powe
