Still they came. They Carrie from different parts of 'the globe, all for the one purpose of seeking out a place to locate and build a home, What a. task! They were men of strong phy- sique, so 'they tackled the job, and. Pawl the'trees ibegan to fall. Tim- er in t ose days was of little or no value, The best of oak Jogs were split into rails to fence In their ;clearings, the rest were all drawn into piles and burned. Many of those oak rails today are just as sound as the day they were cut. When the writer of this article came into the world 74 years ago the country was practically all cleared, gravel roads were built criss-crossing the townships, and beautiful farm homes were in ex- istence, The towns and villages were 'built up. IJnbelieveable, what was accomplished in a few short years. Yes, we were born into a busy world. We should be a great race of people. Our fathers and mothers sacrificed a great deal for us. Farm life in the early days was not the ,drudgery that one might think; in fact it was rather an ex- citing time •working so much with nature, especially in the spring of the year when so many little ani- mals began to arrive on the farm to demand so much of our atten- tion, It is said that "home is where the heart is", and certainly moth- er's heart was in her home. We were all well-trained in choring around the house, such as beating carpets and filling the bed ticks with clean straw from the barn; and when the big feathered tick was put on top of these one' almost needed a Step-ladder to climb into bed. But, oh, the comfort of sink- ing into that bed of feathers on a cold winter night. Certainly no modern spring-filled mattress ever felt so good. "Old fashioned?" Yes, but it was home. I believe that the social spirit which existed in the good old days is gone, It was 'a common thing to gather at a neighbor's for a house party. NoWadays we scarce- ly know our next-door ,_neighbor, Mitch is said about our modern educational system, and it is in- deed surpassed. by no other coun- try. Our schools are up-to-date and our children enjoy privileges of• education which should 'be a wonderful advantage, 'but there still is something to say for the old'country school and all it meant to Canadian life, especially that kind of Canadian life that had its start in the open country. Many of the people who have served our land in important posts, and many great minds who have been instru- mental in giving us our modern conveniences were trained in the little country school house.
