They Are One of the Important Prod. nets of Every State.

Among all the staupjles oar county produces, nothing Is more useful than children. They not only preside over our educational experts with an Inexhaushtlble mine of material to expound theories with, but tthy furnish the motive power for some of our principal factories, and the present low price of coal is due to their efforts. Thus we see that Providence always provides us with the wherewithal to live within our means. Children are cultivated in every state in the union. lip to the age of seven or eight they are scarcely any use at all, except to talk about, but after that they can begin to earn good money. They are also useful in other ways. A young girl of ten or twelve, who is too delicate to work, 7»ay often make herself useful by rushing the growler and waiting on a drunken father. Some time when a young boy or girl are run over by a trolley or auto, they may get enough in damages to keep the wolf from the door. It is a great blessing that children are cultivated in greater numbers by the poor than by the rich. Thus our principal industries are kept supplied with plenty of hands to do the work.
