As you ride on railroad trains In Amer
' yoti will find young people going to
t ( ty to attend schools, colleges, nead
nies, universities.
The Idea seems
to be that In order
to ffct an education
yo t haw to go to
tho city
Now behold a
re ers.il of the
reposition. V e
ml schools being
a-abl:shed In the
oxintr and ch'l

ivrineo every da'

ing find going out
to the country and
spending the day.
Tho first school of
this kind to he rg.
'abllshcd tas the
illmun Country
School for Hoys.
r ar Baltimore.
Th;a school was started fifteen yeura
ico It Is In a plot of ground cociing
seventy acres. It began with an Invest
ment of MI.OCO, and has grown until It
(as a fine equipment and Is a decided
success.
Vlm'lar Jvhools have been started In a
dozen cities In America, ond the Idea Is
fast spreading.
It Itf a sreut Joy and satisfaction of a
ihlld to leave the city and so Into tho
ouniry. Then he comes back homo at
Might and tells qf -what ho has seen and
lone. Mo lives In two separate environ
ments, and it Is .conceded by every one
that wo are changed through a change of
environment.
Transplanted people rule the world.
For i boy or girl to remain right In
tho district of his home and be educated
there Is to posses: a very faulty form of
education.
The city child goes cut to the country
and Is secure against the ullurcments
and diversions that are bound to distract
him from his books and' studies.
He Is away fr'onj tlial cheap little form
of dissipation, tho. adjacent "candy shop,
where ho goes at recess time1,-If he Is In
the city, to spend ,hls spare pennies and
invito dysepsla . and 1'indlgcstlon:' i
He fe taken of .the pavement, away
from tho fildewalk.JJ out Into the fields.
Half a-day lg-spent at thohooks and the
nther-hnlf oCft 'qf doprs, working on tho
farm, doing Hhjj necessary tasks that
should be done, with enough. fjilay mixed
In to '.season the' whole. '
Children who attend these .country
schools' will surpass far In physique and
mentality and general .health .any child
whoso days and nights arc spent In' tho
city. Ifo gets a, change ho gots away
from his parents -and the home atmo
sphere, which, however beautiful and ex
cellent, cannot be appreciated when he
is there all of the time.
He Is relieved of tho danger ot playing
on the street and belng'run over by street
-ars. automobiles, wagons, and' of the
' further danger of association on vacant
lots with the demoralizing and tho unfit,
ilolng back and forth on the train, trolley
car, automobile or carryall he Is safe
guarded by an attendant. And if there
are a. dozen, twenty, fitly or a hundred
pup'.'s. tho expense of this supervision Is
ve slight. Country schools for c'ty
children arc so In the lino of common
sense that the Idea Is bound to grow and
spread.
And yet most of thete country schools
for ' Ity ehlldrcnure owned, uy Individ
uals or corporations-. But It is the belief
that the public school system will take on
this betterment soon.
As It Is now, mqst women take up
school teaching until they get married.
nd the men who are school teachers aro
taking a course In law. medicine or
theolog.vSyll" Intent to quit the school
teaching as. soon ns tho profession Is
within seizing reach.
Wo must make' school teaching emi
nently honorable. And tho salaries, all
tho way from from $150 to $300 a month)
that ac being paid to competent men
and women who can leach both academic
studies' and agriculture, show that we are
moving In the right direction.
Mothers Tell of
Mother's Friend
Experience Js or should be our best
tetcher. Women who have obeyed the
highest and noblest of all sacrifices, the
et-ugglo for the life of others, should
have a better idea, of helpful Influence
than those who theorize from observation.
At any rate when a prospective grand
mother urges her daughter to do as aho
did to use "Mother's Friend," there U
reason to belicre It the rlsht adrlce.
"Mother's Friend" Is an external ap
plication for expectant mothers. Its pur
pose Is to furnish pliancy to the muscles,
to take away the strain on the cords and
ligaments, to relieve the tension of nerves
and tendons so. apt to provoke or ag
gravate nausea, morning sickness, twltcn
Ings of the limbs and to on.
Although, in the nature of things, a
woman would use "Mother's Friend but
hut rarely, yet so effective has It been
foujtd that this splendid remedy Is on sale
In most drug stores throughout Uio
United Btates. It has been prepared by
Bradfleld Regulator Co., 400 Lmr Bldg.,
Atlanta, CJa., and advertised by us for
over forty years. This Is a tine record
for such a special remedy and the grate
ful letters received to-day are Just as
appreciative as were those of years ogo
notwithstanding that methods are sup
posed to have greatly advanced. Ask at
the drug store for a bottle of "Mother
"rlend." It is worth while.
