This matter of sharing responsibility

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. Ile has
the world in his arms each morning
when he rises. He clan build, he can
help young things to ,grow, be 'can ex-
periment and lie can judge the• merits
of hie work as no city child cad.
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

screw driver, a good knife and a fine
pair .of scissors. ' The family flivver

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.

A Famous Hymn Composer.
The Itev, John'. 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.
