Educational Opportunities. 
The school year has begun and 
the boys and girls have taken up 
their books for another year. The 
recurrence of these starting days 
brings up the already old question: 
are the advantages of our modern 
systems of education appreciated by 
the parents and seized by the pupils? 
Parents owe their children the very 
best training that can be given 
them. At this season of the year 
thousands of parents face the prob- 
lem. Shall the boy or girl return to 
the school? The responsibility can- 
not be shirked. 
A millionaire broker came upon 
his chauffeur suddenly and _= sur- 
prized him at his work. The 
chauffeur stood wrench in hand ex- 
pecting instructions. ‘‘John, if you 
will let me have that boy, renounc- 
ing all claim to him, I will arrange 
the matter with you to your satis- 
faction and I will bring the boy up 
as my own. My position and pos- 
sessions will be his,’’ said the mil- 
lionaire. The astonished chauffeur 
dropped his wrench in his indigna- 
tion and lifting his hand upward, 
said, ‘‘Mr. A—., that boy is my boy, 
and there is not enough gold in the 
mines of the country to buy,—sell 
my boy? Never! He is mine. I 
know that I am a poor man depen- 
dent upon my month’s salary for my 
living but I will do everything I can 
for him. When I can’t—well that 
never will be—God_ will. give me

light to raise him, He gave him to 
me. Mine he’ll be. I will do every- 
thing I can for him. Can a man sell 
his life??? The man was right— 
there is a power to help. The boy 
and girl in the home bring with 
them their own joys and responsibil- 
ities. 
The parent and the school are 
responsible for the child’s will. It 
is a great treasure and by it life 
may be made or marred. The par- 
ent may help him develop that will. 
If you can bequeath to the child a 
strong will you will have given him 
a pearl of great price which no man 
can take away. It is the key to suc- 
cess and it will open the door to 
life’s blessings. It is better than 
silver and gold. Stubborness is the 
sign of a strong will. All that re- 
mains is to train that tenacity in 
right lines. The man who has a 
foolishly strong will is headstrong 
and the man who has a wise strength 
of will is tenacious. It is the atti- 
tude of the will which determines 
it ‘to be? e‘vices or: “virtue: “No 
greater folly can be made by a par- 
ent than to endeavor to break the 
will of a child. ‘‘I must break that 
ehild’s will, it will ruin him,’’ says 
the mistaken parent. Break that 
will and ruin the child. The disci- 
pline of the home and of the 
school should cooperate to train the 
child’s will. If the child ean be 
well equipped with a strong will the 
true aim of education will be at- 
tained. 
The school should cooperate with 
the parent and the parent with the 
school in giving the child a proper 
conception of his place in the world 
—and his attitude toward life. The 
problem of existence and the main- 
tenance of high ideals are struggles 
which end only at the grave. 
Sooner or later for his or her own 
oood the boy or girl must be trans- 
planted into the life of the world. 
It is inevitable. At this hour thou- 
sands of parents are trembling as 
they send their children out from 
the home to the school for the first 
time. ‘‘I tremble for the thought 
that my child must go to the school 
and mingle with all those,’’ said the 
mother. Bless her mother’s heart 
but the mother bird must push the 
tiny fledglings out of the nest to try 
the little wings. The little bird 
must learn to fly. It is the attitude 
which the child takes to the world 
into which the child is put for which 
the parent and school are _ jointly

responsible. At the school age the 
attitude of the child to the world is 
being formed and can be shaped. 
He must learn duties and seek them 
more than rights. A veterinary sur- 
geon tied his colt tightly for the first 
time in the halter. The editor was 
surprised at his care and the 
strength of the rope. ‘‘Why so 
careful?’’ he asked. The reply was 
significant. ‘“‘It is important that 
the colt learns at beginning that he 
cannot break away from that halter. 
If the colt should break the first 
time and he discovers he can get 
away from it, the owner will always 
have trouble. 
first that he cannot break from it he 
will very quickly learn to stand 
easily and will have a restful time of 
it. Otherwise he will go through life 
pulling at the halter.’’ What a sig- 
nificant statement, ‘‘going through 
life pulling at the halter.’’ This is a 
picturesque way of saying that the 
attitude which one takes to life will 
contribute much to life. The young 
life must for his or her own good 
learn to bear responsibilities and do 
the duties of life with cheerfulness 
and alacrity. There must be no pull- 
ing at the halter. 
The parent and the school jointly 
owe it to the children to make them 
economically independent. In the 
very plainest words, to provide them 
an adequate training to earn their 
own living. Work has an eduea- 
tional function which has been over- 
looked too long. The boy or girl 
who can be placed in a position of 
owing no man anything is taking 
one long step toward honorable liv- 
ing, the true end of all school and 
home training. The work itself af- 
fects character. To lay a piece of 
work accurately has its effects upon 
the mind. It will not be long before 
a careless workman will show his 
slovenliness in his character as well 
as in his work. If the home and 
school ean direct the young life to 
congenial, honorable remunerative 
labor, happy child, blessed parents. 
To this end of honorable living the 
parent owes the child the best edu- 
eation the family purse will permit. 
Not infrequently an ignorant parent 
is found who is not willing to make 
the best of the advantages at their 
very doors for their children. Give 
the boy or girl a chance. If you did 
not have a fair opportunity yourself 
the greater reason why it should be 
given the children in your own home.
