A SELF-SUPPORTING HOME 



Children's education is the next "obstacle." 

 Every village has a school, some extremely 

 good ; all possess the advantage of not being 

 overcrowded. When the little one has out- 

 grown the village curriculum, at an average 

 distance of ten miles in any of the adjoining 

 districts will be found the high school or 

 college. All suburban lines issue school 

 tickets at extremely low rates. It being 

 conceded that full mental development is 

 impossible unless accompanied by physical 

 and moral growth, the pure air and whole- 

 some freedom of the country must make the 

 best men and women of your children. 



The entire category of supposed draw- 

 backs is replaced by benefits and values too 

 numerous to be catalogued here. 



October and November are always de- 

 lightfully bright months, just cold enough 

 to make tramping about in the country 

 vastly enjoyable, and should therefore be 

 utilized for finding and fixing the future 

 home. It is also the best and cheapest time
