a place where their John or Mary

iviciousness and decay. | say YOUR
ISO-CALLED PARENTAL love is the
greatest hindrance to the embodiment
of the average child and goes to blast
his or her future. Your child is only
human and there are millions of others.
Each as good as every other one. each

them to forget self, and they will gain
the greatest pleasure the world can
know. The world has been run by
those who exploit, but new day is
dawning. 1t will soon be run by those
who serve, and the greatest power will
go TO him who serves most; he can
not serve most unless he KNOWS how
and can do. Yes, we want education

our children to do any useful service.

Saturday, Dec. l6-The weather
is changing and it looks like rain soon; |
SO it has caused us to rush some jobs
that under-cover work can be done
while the dampness falls. Comrade
Nelson, of Port Arthur, brick mason, |
dropped in on us last night and is to-
day helping the brick layers on the
new big building. With Nelson came
another comrade, Beltsky, a carpenter, |
who desires to look us over. AT the
brick kiln, Comrade Sanders, with
bunch of boys, is clearing cut the kiln
SO that we can load it up and burn

saw mill material is now ready to be
put into the proper lumber to finish the
Girls Dormitory. Nash, Rechsteiner,
and Schmidt have raised the last two
units of this new building, and it will |
soon be occupied by Myrtle and her
group of girls. The syrup makers are
making syrup for one of our neighbors
to-day. At least, they are getting the
cane ready to be pressed. We expect to |
make as much syrup from our Japanese
cane as the other which will give us |
about 5000 gallons. Conlin and Cad

Gladys and Ethel Belcher are making

is filling and shipping them as fast as
he can. In fact. everybody here is j
