especially in view of declarations made by mr meighen when in presenting the resignation of his cabinet he promised his cooperation to facilitate the task of his successors it may fairly be concluded that no op position will be offered to the reelection of the new ministers it may be taken for granted that the conservative party will have little desire for such contests realizing that nothing can

steel corporation has-made- the- interesting statement that out of three hundred em ployees holding the most responsible positions in the company two hundred and sixtythree were born on farms although a number of them were taken as children into towns many more were reared in the country a fact that gives new force to the repeated assertion that the farm is the best training school for boys because it breeds in them two qualities supreme in citizenship resourcefulness and independence we are air prone to lay stress on the technicalities of education we prize the city because it gives kindergartens to babies manualtraining schools to boys and business colleges to young men it gives free libraries free doctoring and perhaps free dent istry it gives encouragement for talents of every order keen competition and a wide field for activity parents say that they cannot afford to lose those splendid advantages for their children immigrants say that in the town there is always a helping hand and that in the country there is no one to depend upon except themselves depending upon ourselves may be the most salutary thing in the world but it is not and never will be popular v it is losing favor every day in a country that owes its existence its freedom its best traditions to the sturdy indepen dence of its first settlers and to the spirit they transmitted to their sons the resourcefulness of the farmers boy- is forced upon him by fate as has been often observed the farmer cannot send for a carpenter in the next street to put up a shelf or for a locksmith to mend a broken latch or for a builder to patch a hole in the roof he cannot stop on his way home from work to make half a dozen convenient purchases his son learns in childhood to do things for himself because there is no one ready and waiting to do them for him he acquires dexterity the habit of depending in emergencies upon his own ingenuity and exertions he is the master of bis fate it takes a good deal to daunt lad who has had to meet the endless exactions of a farm another quality as imperative for good citi- zenship as independence is readiness to serve then anniversary services wul bo

other and better men to make sacrifices and brave- dangers while they sit smugly by now the farmers boy never expects to get something for nothing the first lesson he learns in life is that the good old earth yields no harvests to slack hands and by the light of that knowledge he comes to under stand that citizenship means giving np as well as receiving thereisbfedinhim ahomelydlgnity that makes
