EDUCATING DER YOUTH

One essential feature in the de-
velopment of a town, is providing
adequate education for our young
people. We all believe in education
as an essential for successful pOpu-
lar government. Also it is an essen
tial in the life of a community, if
that town is going to keep up with
its competitors.
A town where the young people
lack adequate school advantages. or
where they drop out of school early.
has obstacles to overcome in the
competitive struggle. Its young peo-
pie will not be so competent to solve
the problems of the future. When
you persuade the young people to
stay in school. to work hard at their
books. and make the best OF their
studies. you give new hope to your
home town. ~

nor league seasons is to millions OF
men and boys greater event than
the assembling of any congress- or
4 parliament. They are more concern
ed about their favorite pitchers arm,
or the batting eye of some big slug
ger. than they are about the views
of statesmen and cabinet ministers.
Also the youth of America is turn
ing to its inevitable spring occupa-
ton. in thousands of Fairgrounds
and vacant lots. The boy who can
run around the bases the quickest,
or lift the ball over the rear fence
most frequently. is a greater hero
in his class than the one who makes
the top marks in his studies.
Baseball is probably called the ma
tional game of the United States, be-
cause ii displays certain qualities
that the average American admires.
The sons of the men who tanned the
wild forests respect physical power,
which is called for in this intensely
energetic sport. Also the sons of
the men who invented the worlds |
most wonderful technical apparatus,
respect the quickness of thought and
skill of hand which this sport de-
velops. No game seems to require
quite such speed and accuracy as
does baseball. The boy who loses
traction of second or his sense of
direction in throwing his ball to cut
,ff fleeing runner. is too slow and
clumsy for this lightning game.
And the sons of the men who have
shown so much brains in industry.

No Success Shown

MT. K. B. Have I made the cor rect choice as to my life vocation? Ans. My science reveals that even though you do feel you are well qualified for the legal field of endeavor you will never succeed in this work.
