Show As intelligent and thrifty farmer i says: "But fur the co-operation of my boys I should have failed. The eldest is near twenty-one, and the other b."iys iu tlm neighborhood, younger, have left their parents; mine have stuck to trie when I most needed their services, and I attribute ibis result to thj fact that I have tried to make their home pleasant. I have furnishtd them with attractive and useful reading, a g.-od organ, and when night comes, and the day's work is ended, instead of running with other boys to the railroad station Iand adjoining towns, they gather around the great lamp and become interested in their books and music.'' |
