almost invariably has the better constitution those elements of health end ability to stand bard work that mean so ranch in this life he is usually endowed with a stronger moral oharaoter we are shocked if a country lad in onr employ goes wrong city yontb are more likely to be auspeoted absolute integrity was never in greater demand in young inen the city boy of ten bas- apertnese or smart air that tbo country youth do not possess but the latter more frequently develop the manly substantial bearing that denotes real character his mind la better trained than the average town boys he may not be quite as glib in his book learning but the farmbred boy taught in natures school to observe and nndar- staod has a rare foundation upon wbfoh to build a knowledge of industry art solenoe or any
