SAVING HUMAN CAPITAL
Tlie straggle of nine of the warring emintires to
strengthen their human resources by making labor cou-''-'ditloiMs
tolerable for children who must work', and by pro
viding schools to teach them how to do better work, are
recounted in Child Labor in Warirng Countries, a brief
review of foreign reports just issued by the National .Chil
dren's bureau.,
The prospect foi better industrial education lor Kug
land has lately been strengthened hy tho bill introduced
in the British parliament by Mr. Herbert Pishcr, president
of the board of education. The bill fixes the compulsory
school attendance age at 14 without the prcseut exemptions

.And how tho farmer drives to town with load of corn on
creaking wain ; the purchaser must pony down two bones
a bushel for that grain! To one who's sold his loads of
maitc, his harvest, at twelve cents a throw, these seem tho
golden, happy days for farmers but they still have woe.
Today 1 talked with David Dale, who bought tho farm of
Hiram Horn, and ho wns loaded down with knlc, for he had
sold a loud of corn. "The way they soak a ninn in town,"
ho said, Vjust makes a fellow reel; our fares still are tram
pled down by rank oppression's Iron h?el. Today I bought
a pair of shoes from that old pirate, Godfrey (lough; tho
price has given me the blues where docs the husbandman
get off?"

When I wns young, long, lontr ago, 1
labored on n Knmins farm; 1 drove the
dun mules to and fro, and whaled them
with my strong right aim. I left my
couch at early morn, before the darkness

of corn throughout the sunny autumn
day. I sold some corn, not once or twice,
but many times, in those past years;
