The proposal to prohibit the labor
of children in any commercial way

consideration from
every point of view. It is the duty Of
every citizen to study the child

facts of the cruel and stunting la

They know that an idletm in the
house is more trouble than six chill
dren. They find this out when
their husbands are home with a
cold. or in between jobs, or in the
first year of retirement from ac-
tive work.
Men are but grown boys, and
a mans work and a boys work
serve the same purpose, namely, to
keep him out of mischief. The
best doctors do not advise busy,
active. man to retire shortly and
merely because he has reached the
age when men are supposed to
retire. Such retirement has been
found to- be surprisingly snnfortu-
nate. Many such men die within
a year of stopping work. chiefly
because of the abrupt let-down of
their accustomed activity and a
morbid stagnation of their vitality.
So it is easy to see why Mrs.
Lloyd George likes her husband to
be well occupied. This little
Welshman, who is the very essence
of action. would be, q trying per-

are three periods of military train

In addition to infantry drill and
various manuals, there are lectures

Those opposed to military train-

criminal-instincts. The
general opion Of today is that the
course has improved the boys ply

sense of responsibility, not obtained
otherwise and raised the quality Of
their citizenship. Most OF their
parents express approval of the
course.
The physical education side of
