The country hoys and girls of-

horror within their hearts of the
too often unreasonable monotony
of our farm homes and parents.
If after years of the right kind
of country schooling ‘‘What we

opportunities to know what is
going on about him, a farm boy
or girl shows a positive dislike
for country life and farm work,
parents may very consistently
look around for something more
fitting for him.
But a sensibly conducted farm
home, he it ever so humble, is
better than the cramped, unnat-
ural conditions of life offered in
the walls of the city.
