Those who are willing to work should be given one acre of land, with the assurance that they can have it as long as they work it faithfully and comply with the simple rules which we have found so effective in the Vacant Lot Gardening work, which are practically, that a man should attend to business and not annoy his neighbors.

He said that a good deal of the work was rot, but that they had a first-rate cricket pitch, and a splendid Pro. Yet this young man took a high classical degree, and is, I know for a fact, an admirable schoolmaster, sensible, effective, and even wise; he makes his boys work, and work contentedly, and he is not only popular but really trusted by the boys.
