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. Battery “B ii»c vniue m n ivauonai tiuard Unit to any com­ munity should not be minimized. It is a training school whore some of the lessons essential to leader­ ship may be learned. 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* Even 14-year-old hoyg want to cross the Pacific ae air.
