The best investment a parent can make for a child is not in land or houses or bank stock, but in the child's individual development. The training of intelligent Chrietian character is the demand made of the home. The times call for well prepared men and women. The colleges are doing their utmost to prepare our youths for high, purposeful living. Leesvilie College has made a fine record in this. All departments are in charge of well qualified teachers. A number of young women can secure board at cost. Several young men can be provided with work enough to cover almost all expenses. Go to the college in your own county. Go to the college that provides a way for you to help yourself. Write for illustrated catalogue at once. Decide to [ be at the openiDg, September 21. - An Afflicted Family. Mrs. P. H.
