This matter of sharing responsibility is one of the finest opportunities on the farm. Take the child into partner- ehip as soon'as he is olid enough to know that the hen. he cared for reload a flock that brought in twelve dollars, of which two per cent., twenty-four cents, is his. Help him use that money wisely; some of it for the education fund; some of it for giving; some of it just for FUN. For in consideringwork, make sure you keep a space for fun. If you do that wisely, the clay will corns when the ,childwith draw no line between his work and his fun. They will" be almost aliaie in spirit and in n quality. Then you will have a splendidly educated adult, the sort that makes Canada a light in the world. By Angel Work is •a ,most important side of edneatioa, Without it there can be no real .growth of mind ar bodY, BY work I mean a job that a child can do with his hands and mind, work that demands effort, work that leaves things a bit ,difie►•ent and a bit better then before it was' done. it is this hunger to better things about him, that makes' man better than the ani- mals The 'country child has, a fins oppor- tunity to do this sort of work.

The 'country child ought to be given tools, goad tools that are suited to chili size and weight, not adult's tools, and certainly not the tin and -can't -iron sort that crimple up under use or crack at a sharp blow. For both boys and girls, (I should make scant if any difference between tb'e • "work' 'of a boy and that of a girl), there ought to be spades, takes, hoes, a light wheel- barrow, a stout wagon a watering can, a trowel; there ought to be a couple of, good hainm'ers a saw, a plane, a screw driver, a good knife and a fine pair .of scissors. ' The family flivver xvil'1 complet&the equipment and with su& au outfit the children can work their gray to any new heaven or earth they see fit. I am taking for granted that the par- ents of the children know the differ- ence between work that is educatl e, work that is drudgery and child labor. Child labor is another name for child murder in my vocabulary. There is a vast difference in giving a child a job for which he is. responsible, a task that calls out all his intelligence, all his ambition, all his eager desire to create, and p•u•tting him to work twelve or even seven hours a day in a field.

Bacchus Dykes, Doc- tor of Music, Lon.doli, England, bQrn in 1323, and died in 18713, is to -day probably the fevorite composer in the Citristia,n world; and yet comparative- ly few people (even musicians) know his name. This fact has been tested several times in social- and church gatherings of many demoninations by first taldng a vote as to whether sacred or secular music is the nt•hro popular. Sacred music invariably gain- ed the vote, with hymns as the prefer- ence in this class. Then by asking those present to name their favorite tunes, an average of four out of ten were for Dr. Dykes' music, which easily .places him in the foremost rank of all composers who ever Heed. On looking over the Sunday papers it is a rare thing to find a church pro- gram, of any 'denomination, without at least one of his 'hymns on it.
