WHY CHILDREN SHOULD -STUDY MORE AT-HOME It is a source of much regret to us that in the upper grades and high school w are unable to secure home study to any satisfactory degree. It is certain that parents are not encouraging i. generally speaking. Avery few of our students voluntarily study at home. But they are ndeed few. A few others study because careful parents insist that the child study at home, and then sees personally that hs does it It does not seem to be the "style" to study at home. We wish it were. One of our boys who belongs to the class who voluntarily study at home, says it a com mon thing for him to be ridiculed by his fellow-students for studying at home. And who are these who ridicule thus? It is those who And more pleasure in stand- ng on street corners, indulging in idle tajk. in smoking, and in a general waste of time They do not have an enthusiasm for hard work and the habit of mastery,' and a willingness to pay the price are lacking. We affirm that it is the duty of every parent or guardian to see, personally, that the child is, under ordinary circumstances, at noma ami eiigu m uu evenings of Monday. Tuesday, Wednes day and Thursday of each week of the school year. . Study i the child' busi ness. He should be made to understand, in no uncertain terms, that everything is secondary to his school duties. The up per grade and high school work to . those who do it well, is hard work. There is no time for social parties and other functions, which are fruitful of no good and abiding results. Ah! her is where the fatal error creeps in. 1 ne student goes . to school with a purpose of seeing how little he can do and still "pass." He calls school work "a snap" and by so doing invites his own failure. In this as in all things success consists in doing the com mon things in an uncommon way. Let the student be impressed at home with the fact that ha is engaged in hard work; that every day is, with him, a crisis; that everything is at strke and that he must "win out" or all will be lost. But there is fortunately another side. While some are preparing for failure by a lack of intensity in thsir work, we have also those who are later to become lead ers, The boy who Was recently ridiculed by those beneath him . in character for home study belongs to that class of boys and girls in our upper grades and high school, who at this early period are the posessors of sterling character and power. There are in our high school those whose daily devotion to duty, and earnest, loyal and untiring effort, acquire a certain heroic significance, and call for the highest esteem from teachers. And here, indeed, lies the real strength and power of these lives. They are daily be- - MfiMfmitUt. ing a reserve power, so tnat in after life, when crisis come, and testa ars met, there will be no wavering, no hesitation, no giving up. but a fearless, tenacious. unflinching struggle and ultimate triumph, we should be grateful indeed if parents would unite and see that our young people engage in study four nights in the week. We long to see these young people in line for the best work- of which they are capa ble and to achieve this the co-operation, eympainy ana support or tn parent are indispensable. J. M. Martin WW CAME BACK - : Fredericktown, Mo Dee. 11. A dog belonging to A. E. Kinney, a ranchman of thi section, has just completed a trip of 300 miles, returning to his former home here from .western Nebraska., Kinney left a month ago for Nebraska to reside. taking his household good overland in a wagon. The dog followed until western Nebraska was reached, when he disap peared. A few days ago the animal turned up at hi former home, having traveled 300 mile across the mountain chains, deserts and deep streams which he was compelled to swim. STILL IN THE CAME The secretary of the interior, ' who is doing such splendid work in prosecuting western land ti laves, :presses surpr s . and indignation over the easy manner in which Richards and Comstock of Neb raska practically escaped punishment for the illegal fencing of over 200,000 acres of government land.' . Upon pleading guilty according to the press reports, the defendants were sentenced to remain six hours in the custody of the marshal, and pay a fine of $300 . each. See Hitch cock, considers the punishment utterly inadequate. ' "The indictment , was the result of four years of determined effort. and the exdenditure of thousands of dol lars by the department," he said, "The reeult ie discouraging, but we . shall not csase our efforts" Orange Judd Farmer AfTR FAITHLESS DEALER A score of seedmen scattered gener ally over the territory east of the Rocky mountains, are temporarily under,, the ban of agiculture charged with dealing in adulterated alfalfa and . clover seeds. Under the law the secretary of agricul ture is directed to obtain on the open market samples of various grass seeds, test the same, and if found adulterated or misbranded to publish the results of the tests, together with the names of ' the dai e.i. Wo jjubt many of thass charg ed wi .1 tms infraction of tna law an in nocent so far as willfully offaring a lult- erel eeels are concerned. Ce'tainlyal reputable seed man are anxkus to co operate with the department in the work of driving out adulterations. While it means hardships in some directions the law should eventually work out to the good of dealers and consumers.
