I The answers to this question arej< as varied us ttie minds that liave( I advanced them. Some have merit.;' Some are doubtful. Some are utter j nonsense. 11 Th? problem, we believe, could : be met if fathers of boys en the 1 farms could only be brought to seel facts as they are. ': We venture to say that more boys, 1 leave the farm on account of the ' deadly monotony and sameuess of i the average farmer boy's life than ' from anv other cause. The normal i boy craves the excitement to be|' round where humanity herds inj< crowds. It can't be found on the farm, hence he must go where it is :o be found. And right here is where the averife farmer father fails from want of ioresight. He uses every means at s lis command, even to force, in pre- # renting the boy from familiarizing limself with town or city life. The c rusiness and social life of the town ? ire cried down as something to be shunned?the surest way in the t vorld to make the boy determined a o plumb them to the depths. The c toy is held to a monotonous routine >n the farm until one of two things isuallv happens. lie either sinks in- I o a listless, spiritless automation, ir he revolts and throws off the hackles altogether. Why not encourage the bov to *' amiliarize himself with town life to ome extent? Our word for it, he could soon lose many of his illusons. Let him go among the young 1 p.en who are filling positions in the ' own. Impress upon him that these nen. instead of living like million- * res. aie In reality worse drudges '' han ho: thai while he sometimes ( ..'i-1 oik < srly and late for a ver\ I. , * H >r - n these young in-n must I': 111!\ be at their work before e - on: ot bed. and rm-r remain i intil is :> .-k in bed again;! : d tli: to the matter of fine 'tile-, frequently the suits he sees u the; Lacks cinipr s? their ? ? re 'r " L? t h iii a!- ! in that vhi'e tliev frequently handle nine! oil. v, very 1 tile if :t < :? k to tin i - ps except wi" ugly esiilts to ill.-el vi Let t o hoy r,m. t i<0up; llaV" ; t .1 st < 1,, vai 1 ;"p a 111! ii . ;t< <|iiaiin I town l?<?yt- ^ ..et him learn, as ho is bound to do.' lint ii><t l?y nny men: * all ?.>1?1 that 'I'll:- a h the right sur oir ling- .tnd fom!'iions on th? arm an occasional dose of town llfo ^ ivill not hurt him. and he will soon rrov. to s?-o that his own life is infinitely to he preferred to that of tnv town hoy of his acquaintance. - . + (OMPl hSOIlV KI>K \TIOX.
