W'h.m Sh.aI.l I Tp.ach My
Child? Teach him that is betier
io die than to lie; thai it is betier
to starve than to steal ; than it is
belter to be a scavenger or wood
chopper than an idler or dead beat;
that ii is just as criminal and repre
hensible to waste Monday as to
desecrate Sunday; thai labor is the
price of all honest possessions; thai
no one is exempt from the obliga
tion to labor with head, hands or
heart; that "an honest man is the
noblest work of God;" that knowl
edge is power, that labor is worship
and idleness sin; that it is betier to
eat ihe crust of independent pov

viands as a dependent. Teach him
these facts till they are woven into
his being and regulate his life, and
we will insure his success though
