Give the Boys a Day Off.
It is an old saying that all work
and no play makes Jack a dull boy
This is quite as true of country boys as
it is of town boys. The young boy is
a good deal like the young colt just
broken to work. He is willing but he
gets tired; and while he may work as
hard at play as he does in the field,
yet the fact that it is play makes him
entirely oblivious to weariness.
We believe farmers wonld get a good
deal more work done in the course of
the year if they would give the boy
every Saturday afternoon except, of
course, in harvest time or when the
work was otherwise very pressing. If
you are going to give the boy a half
day, be sure and tell him about it in
advance. The prospect of a day's
fishing or baseball, or visit to town,
will cheer him up amazingly, and be
will work with a vim which will sur
prise even himself.
We old folks are seasoned to work,
a good deal like the horse in the tread
mill, and we find a day's idleness irk
some. It is different with the boy,
however we might add also with the
girl, This unceasing grind from one
week's end to the other is one of the
things that makes the boys and girls
disgusted with farm life.
Plan to give them a day off, or at
least a half day. If you are so fixed
that you can fix a stated time, say Sat
urday afternoon, when they can do as
they like, our word for it, you will get
more work out of them than you other
wise would, and in addition they will
be better children and have a stronger
attachment to the home life than if
kept constantly at work with no time
or chance for recreation. We old folks
should remember that we were once
young ourselves, and that a day's fish
ing or other amusement meant more to
us tlmu weeks of recreation would now
mean. Wallace Farmer,
