THE RURAL BOY. There are several evils peculiar to the country. It is commonly stated that boys and girls in the country are healthier than their city friends. This conclusion is not altogether true. There is more under-development, more bad eyesight not being correct- ed, more cases of diseased throats and ears in the average public school in the country than there is in any well- conducted city school, simply because there is no rural organization looking after their physical welfare. There are hundreds of rural children who know nothing of the use of a tooth-brush, and who seldom hear of the proverbial Saturday night bath in the family wash tub. Again, the average country boy lives {in the centre of nature, but too fre- | quently with the unseeing eye. Al- | though impressel by the solitude of | the woods, he cannot identify the indi- | vidual trees, apart from half a dozen {common ones; nor can he answer the | call of the bird, nor explain how the | bee gets its honey from the flower, nor identify the flower itself. The whole expanse of heaven is above him, but the stars are only a milky way. He has general appreciation without par ticular knowledge, and therefore na- ture, soon becoming prosaic, loses its charm. He is surrounded with beautiful ex- amples of natural sex life, as evidenc- ed in the mating of -the bird, the pol- lination of the flower, but generally all he knows about his own sex instincts is gained from the smutty story of the hired man. : Unless steps are taken by somebody to prevent it, the present generation of rural boys will grow up to be the slow- thinking, narrow-minded, non-co-op: erative, self-conscious, somewhat sus. picious individual that some of their fathers are, due to the isolation in which they have constantly lived, and either the unwillingness or the lack of opportunity to participate in social life. The average rural boy is shy, awkward and unattractive. in a social group, lacking the finer sensibilities and graces that characterize the well- trained youthful gentleman. Into this menstrum of undesirable qualities, mixed up with all the 'charm, possibilities and sensitive spiritual in- stincts of tne rural boy, the Tuxis Mentor must project his personality and leadership to the end that the faults may be eliminated and the de- velopment of the potential virtues be beguh in the right direction. While bringing all possible pressure to bear upon local school boards to institute district medical inspection, the Mentor certainly may do much in teaching the boy the proper care of the physique. . The Daily Record Chart of the C. S. E. T. programme-ought to be kept constantly to the front, with its insistence on clean teeth, daily ex- ercises and bath, kybo, and regular sleep. For any suspected physical de- fect medical attention should be in- sisted upon. In nature study, the Men- tor might co-operate with the rural school teacher in suggesting and as- sisting in collections of leaves, barks of trees, bugs, flowers; in staging group contests in bird recognition ey- ery spring; or.in the imitation of bird calls; in the study of the various stars and constellations; in observation of the habits of the bee, the ant, or the robin. If the parent of the boy is not the right type of man to explain the mysteries of the sex, then it is the duty of the Mentor either to arrange for the visit of some boy-loving physician who can tactfully present the case, or to acquaint the boy with the substities of his own nature, either by group talk or individual copversation. At all ev- ents the boy cannot be left to the un- analyzed, yet insistent, call of sex, which may all too easily develop into a forbid degeneracy. Let the talk on the sex problem be given at the same time as that on the pollination .of flowers by the bee, or the mating of the bird, or the procreation processes of the fish are explained, leading nat- urally from the lesser to the greater. Every effort should be made to soc- ialize the boy--to develop co-opera- tion, rapid and broad thought, unselfish spirit. There is greater opportunity for this. in rural groups than is gen- erally conceded. In the average rural community there are not enough boys _ A PASTOR FAREWELLED.

Mr. ind My. Merdith co-operation or union, and the aboli- tion of some of the selfish denomina- tional spirit found sometimes in back- ward rural settlements. On account of the busy summer season, your rural boy may not be able to go to camp, but he does appreciate a campfire, and there is no reason why two or three down by thé old swimming pool in the light shed by a burning stump which may, in later years, become a burning bush to some boy. Leaders in the coun. try are handicapped by lack of equip- ment, but there is frequently room by the old pool to set up basketball court, and it is an excellent spot for staging Squaw wrestle, group games, swim- ming contests, high diving. To add in- terest, invite the Girls' Club for the September corn-roast. The boys one is dealing with in the untry are just at the "gang" age. In town, this instinct to form the gang, expresses itself in the "Rough Necks," or the "Hard Tackers," or similar clubs, some good and some bad. In the country, the gang congregate co around the local store, and hear the, old pioneer tell the smutty yarn, and watch him hit the old box stove twelve feet away with the juice from i tobacco; or they go on a joy ride With liquor and cigarettes thrown in for good measure. Here is the Men- tor's task--GET THOSE BOYS A CLUBROOM AND GIVE EXPRES- SION UNDER CAREFUL SUPER- VISION TO THAT GANG IN- STINCT. The men of the country want lodges; the boys are satisfied with a club. You may have room in your church to fix up something a boy would like; if not, some nearby unused barn or old tumble-down shack cofild, with a little work, be turned into a "gym," reading room, etc. Hold a boys' night in ¥gur church in order to raise sufficient money to start your library, or to buy equipment. One of the leading boys' workers of this coun- try starfed the road to success in boys' w by fixing up an old barn as a ommunity boy centre. That barn is famous to-day. The boys will gladly co-operate in tting together the club equipment. LeX them make their own stools, ta- bles, ¥ibrary shelves. This will prove an easy introduction to the scheme of home helpfulness you may introduce later by which the boys are entered in competition for making home utensils --stools, flower racks, tool chests, wood boxes, etc, which may be ex- hibited at a quarterly Bogs' Club night, open to the community public, This is only one suggested means of turning the gang spirit into productive, boy-developing channels that will con- tribute towards the making of good ci- tizens. - Toronto, is wisiting | || Mrs. Merdith will | circuit here for the | Jast ous years. A farewell was ten- | e y Another curse of rural communities is' the lack of sympathetic advice in regard to future vocation, and train- ing. The average farmer is quite ignor- ant of the great world of gducational values, and consequently either forces his-boy to farm or allows him to drift into some vocation, of course of study, without expert advice. The Mentor should make it his business to get ac- quainted with the potentialities of ev- ery lad, to study his bent, to learn his tastes, and to encourage him to pur- sue educational courses suited thereto. There are good reading courses for the boy out of school, excellent correspon- dence schools, such as the Internation- al, of Scranton, Pa., or the Canadian, of Toronto, which are open to the am- bitious boy, who is forced to help his bfather during school hours, It should be the Mentor's ambition to be able to advise the boy in regard to where the best training is available, or, if this is beyond him, to see that the boy is put into touch with someone who knows, The hit-and-miss method too often misses. All this is hard for the Mentor? Cer- tainly. It is beyond some o them? Perhaps. But if he wants the boy to strive, he must also be willing to prac- tice a hurdle or two himself. Too great (@ percentage of the Wilfrid Lauriers, the Abraham Lincolns, the Ralph Connors, the Charles Spurgeons--are sons of the soil to permit our boys' work being led by any but those who are willing to work'to grow, and who are ready to spend their leisure {time either preparing to or Working with the boys of the community, Here's to the country bay. --G.

We came up here on what we thought was a hard job, and when we got here it looked harder than ever. Honest, Injun, we were just about dis- couraged. The country looked so big, and almost everybody talked a lan- guage we couldn't understand much of --and well, it seemed like we'd bitten off more than we could chew. But, says we to ourself, here you are and you've got to make the best of it, So we took ourself by the scruff of the neck and started ourself ont. And, all of a sud- gen, the job quit being difficult and seemed quite easy. That was because we jumped right in and started it. The hardest part of any hard job is start- ing it. But if you just do a high dive right into the middle of it, why, it quits being difficult, and you feel as if it were almost done. Self-Sympathizers. Whenever we hear a fellow sobbing about his personal hard luck, we think of what Gil Peters once slammed into Ed. Brady. "Ed." he ripped out, "you feel so blamed sorry for yourself that I Seles We have decided to run a you} can't feel sorry for you." Later Gil said to us apologetically: "I'm a mean human. I have all kinds of syffipathy for the guy who's too game to want it, but the minute a hard-luck Johnnie | sobs for some, I'm all out. Do 'youl reckon 'most humans are like that?" We do. Generally speaking, the self- sympathizer gets the gaff, and the game guy gets the sympathy--and the support--which 1s as it should be. Languages. We hope every one of you fellows will learn at least one language beside your qwn. It is a fine thing to do for a lot 8f reasons.

A. H. Denoon, pastor of the Avenue Road Presbyter- ian church. Two factors were respon. sible for Eastbury's success at the polls. One was an energetic campaign manager, the other was the personality of the candidate himself. Eastbury knows C. S. E. T. because he lives it.
