But, he is a boy among boys, hears their conversations, takes part in their games, ponders over their expressions of ambition . and makes up his mind that they , don't like work. The girls with whom he comes in contact at school, don't re semble their hard-working old moth- er who is not ashamed of her horny hands nor speaks of her soiled ap pearance. To him, she, with her I daily duties, and his father who bore hardships to make his "education pos Bible, are the ideals to imitate. For some unexplainable reason he has come to the conclusion that work is necessary for life and that its performance must necessarily involve soiling of the hands.

No philosopher of social life could have given a more succinct answer, and told the truth so, unvarnished. While the sentence structure' might' have" been different, the meaning is clear and to the point. It reveals in a boy so young a re markable gift of observation, a know ledge of real fundamentals and a power to. tell what he thought, in an equally concise manner. It would require-no great stretch of imagina tion to fortell thr.t this philosophic young lad is going to make his mark in this world for a' steel-like pre cision of thought and a wisdom rarely found in men. - These are thoughts that crowd the brain when one sits for a moment's reflection.
