When the messsme was delivered, with a blood-chilling oath he snarled, ' Go back and tell In r she lies. She never loved me, or 1 would not be here now." 1c is in arveloiH how the idea ever gained such strong hold in the min is of sensible peopb' that chil I roil need to be live or six years ol 1 before their life's train ing commences. The same wo man that prunes and pinches back all theobj-'ctionable growth on her soulless plants and re moves all the insects lest they sap their vitality, will coolly al loweven foster any evil habit that fastens on her infant, with out a thought of its effect on its future liTe. Almost every mother intends some day to train her child in the way it should go, but tinw are strangely oblivious to the fact that from the hour an in fant opens its eyrs to the light, circumstances are training it in the way it should go, and it is so hard for the preciousone tocom bat this training through life, when its God-givm guide might have so easily prevented it. The average child of this fast age knows nothing of the first principles of obedience to parents; and it Is heart-rending to think of the suffering they will bring on their fellow-men, to say noth ing of their own tribulations, be fore they ever become God-fearing, law-abiding citizens of this so-called Christian land. This is a subject that deserves world-wide consideration There is nothing under heaven that holds the menace to this fair land that is held by its selfish, reckless, lawless children. If one wishes to see some ol the effects of the present system of child training, go to our public schools and note what chance there is for any edueatioual advancement to the student who knows no law. humau or divine. If it pleases the student to sit idle all day, and not pretend to prepare his les sons, there is no way to make liini mill tlie lmnr.fiiiffei inir ta- . , ' " ; cher must bear the blame for his ignorance and lack of knowledge, His parents expect him toad - vunco by leaps and bounds be- -nueh" i ''mi smart" ami v bi-n !

But, disregarding that which is academic, rhetorical and ora torical, we reach, at theesseutial nnah'MS, the pith of the prob lem as expressed by Dr. John 1 Coulter, of thel'niversity of Min- nesota, w ho said iu the Auditori um the other night that every movement lor the betterment of the i -ouditions in the rural dis tricts depended fit the last upon tin.' business proposition of ma king life on the farm profitable. That is the whole case in a nut shell; making life on the farm proportionate in money return to life in the city. Once that is achieved, the oth er improvements will come in flood tide Schools will flourish, churches will multiply, good roads will almost build them selves and property values will appreciate magically. Ill lequires money lor all these things, and the chiel source from which the money is coining is iu the soil. And the sod will not return the dividends it should on the incal culable capital buried in its fer tilities until the south foreswears the all-cotton lolly, raises its own foodstuffs and declare an in dependence of the grain and cat tle growei s ol other sections. Mr. Trtiett has stated w i t h homely force thu final truth in this matter.
