For three years a Michigan boy de
voted his spare time to weaving a
rug. The other day he finished it and
had the proud pleasure of looking
upon the creation of his patient handi
craft. Small but fine In texture and
artistic In pattern it proved not only
his skill in one of the most ancient
and delightful of all the arts, but also
his persistency and will power. As
he wove the loose strands into firm-1
"ness he bound also his character into
firmness. He is a better boy and will
be a better man for having finished
- the' Job. In mastering the raw ma
terials, he moved on toward that com
plete mastery, of himself which is the
ideal state of man.
Too frequently the divine affiutus of
youth spends itself in pursuits worse
than useless. When that occurs tne
fault lies more often upon the'parents
than upon the children. Interesting
tasks are immensely alluring to the

that he is progressing toward the

Child labor has fallen into evil re

men and women turn in loathing is
the commercial exploitation of child
drudgery. There's a difference. Labor
for adults or children need not be

' labor develops man's joys. As a mat
ter of fact children like and thrive
upon work fitted to their strength and
