But "nil work and no play makes Jack it dull boy" so wo eupposo we aro out of date and that thlngs nre alt right. Anyway tho boys and girls must not' glyo up tho, school, Hero are some figures wo want you to read Mi tho 'following nrtlclo taken from "Through tho Meshes' ttiid published) In tho Beaver County-News: If you over hear of a boy or glrli who wants to quit school when It Is unnecessary; If you over hear of parents who aro thinking of putting theli1 children to work, When It Is unnecessary; just bring these flgu-ics flgu-ics to- their attentlpn.
