dishonesty. Even a slight acquaintance with the
prison life of our great cities discloses a pitiable
number of young men, many of them scarcely out of
boyhood, wlio are serving long, and in some in
stances life, sentences for serious crimes. Such a
state of affairs is deplorable, and students of social
conditions are striving to find a remedy for this
growing menace, which seems to be striking at the
very heart of civilisation itself.
Perhaps the remedy is not so far to seek after
all. Lack of discipline in the homes would seem , to
account for much of the discord and lawlessness
which appears to he so prevalent. To enforce strict
obdience to the right is the kindest thing which
parents can do for their children,. but in order to do
this it is essential that the parents should be willing
to submit themselves to a rigid mental discipline. If
they are making concessions even in what may seem
to a superficial thinker trifling things, and are allow -
ing themselves to break the laws which are framed
for the benefit of the community at large, what
authority can they hope to have over others!
Children are quick to detect even the slightest
insincerity, and when checked for some fault will
say: “ WelJ, I have seen father do it,” or “ Mother
does the same thing.” As in its early years the hu
man child is imitative and prone to take its cue
from its snrroundings, it behooves the elders to
guard well their own speech and action. Thus the
youngsters will fend to grow up with a higher ideal
of true manhood and womanhood. The betterment
of the world lies largely In the hands of the rising
generation, and to give them a reverence for and
appreciation- of law dnd order means much.
The great men and women" who have brought
lasting reforms to humanity are those who have
early learned to obey constituted authority and to
subordinate self for the welfare of others. A spoilt,
undisciplined child is, in many instances, the out
come of the ælfialpiess of his elders, and the so-
called love which will bring abont such a condition
is very far from the love which is pure enough and
strong. enough emphatically to correct a child in
order that he may learn the road wherein true happi
Bess lies.—Christian Science Monitor.
“ In the youth of the country lies the hope of the
future,” was a frequently made statement during
the Commencement season.
l*t is only fair that every youth' in the country
should have advantage as near equal as possible.
Social advantages cannot be equal until-a different
social organization is effected, but there is one thing
that the country owes to its youth and that is
education.
And to every youth in the country should bo
given, as near as it is possible, educational oppor
tunities.
Standardization of the rural schools of the conn
try through the adoption of the County Unit Sys
tem, is one way that the equalization of opportunities
can be accomplished. It is the duty of every citi
zen to back up the adoption of this plan—it is the
duty we owe the youth.

Recreation and, work are given the boys in well
Ijaianoed portions at the camp period and it is a
real vacation from which the members of the 0. N.
(J. derive benefit as well as pleasure.
The County Unit system proposition has at leapt
awakened interest in the little red school houses
and their problems and whether it is effective or not
it is the first step forward in the march of education*
