OTATE SUPERINTENDENT WELLS of Wisconsin saw nothing surprising
***' in the fact that farmers take more apparent interest in their colts and calves than in their
children. Stock well cared for weighs more and brings more per pound than stock neglected.
But how a fairly educated boy or girl may become more productive and valuable it is not so
easy for some to see.
Without intending any harm either to themselves or their children, is it not a fact that
many parents give more attention to their "marketables" than to the perfection of the man or
the woman in their children? Even if you are preparing your
CHILDREN ONLY FOR "MARKET,"
So to speak—that is, to bring the most money for their efforts in life—will you not increase
their chances by giving daily attention to the habits of their minds? For, after all, it is the
different qualities of thought that make the vast difference in men's fortunes. Manual labor
alone never made any man wealthy. But would you not like for your children, as well as your
horses and cattle, to appear well? Then you must encourage them in the habits of mental in-
dustry. They must learn something every day, and that leads to culture and education. Does
not the cultured mind beam forth in the eyes or countenance of a man or woman? These the
whole world call beautiful, no matter what shape the face. It should be the ambition of each
father and mother to bequeath to the world such boys and girls as will be
1. Self-supporting men and women. 2. One step in advance of their parents in per-
fection and beauty of mind.
The great, ambition of THE NEWS is to contribute to such advance, and, to the end that
your children may have every modern advantage, It offers to secure Tor you that great refer-
ence library, THE NEWS Up-to-Date Encyclopaedia Britannica, for only 10 cents a day.
Without this great treasury of human thought, your children will be handicapped in their
race for success in this advanced age.
Ifyouwouldtakeadvantageofthisopportunlty.it must be done at once, as but a very
brief time is allowed In which such orders may be filed. If it is not convenient to call at THE
NEWS Encyclopaedia Headquarters, 412 Center Street, write at once saying that you want a
set. and it will be reserved for you. The binding can be selected later and terms or payment
arranged for you.
