Because the Climate is Good, THE CHILD'S ENEMIES All investigations should begi: with sue" be tor the benefit of 1 he child The population of the United Stales today would be fifteen or twenty millions more had it not Ik en for the neglect of the parents and the municipal governments. Mure than fifteen or twenty millions of children have been born in the United State- id the past fifteen or twenty years, who have died beca. ;e of criminal, domestic, and municipal neglect. We belong to the brass-hand posses ion In works of superficial ity. We are excessive talkers, hut are rather meagre in labors of worth-while in vestigation. We hate the drudgery of patient, toiling investigating for the protec tion of our children. We have crim inally neglected the child prior to birth and immediately following his entrance into the world.

The farmer has not always made the farm attract. ve to his son. You can't keep I boy at home if you give him a pine knot lire by which to read when the world otters him electric lights, a library, and a read nig lamp. The farmer must bring the pleasures, amusements, books, magazines, and attractive things into his home and upon his own farm if he expects to keep his box and make a great agriculturist out of him. The parcel post, the rural mail de livery, the automobile, the paved highway, and other conveniences, are for the purpose of enabling the farmer to bring the atti actions of the world into his own little country home, into his own desolated farm house, and to hi own fireside, if he will seize the opportunity, fill ins table with magazines, papers, and good books, bring in the music bo. and the wireless radio and thus make his home attractive, bright, cheerful magnetic, and fascinating, he will keep his boys and girls around him. This is the day of the farm If I he I farmer will only realize it. This is the hour when the farm ought to iie , the most attractive spot in the coun try; this is the moment when the farmhouse ought to ring w ith music, I an d the barnyard ought to be the convention hall of agricultural and political activity.
