Juniata Sentinel And Republican

It is getting to be well understood, by thinkers repeating it time and again, that a boy is the most incomprehensible of immature living beings. Thinkers are also declaring that grown Frenchmen are the most incomprehensible of mature living beings. The latest singular act of the French is the passage of an act of legislature to prevent the training of children in dangerous "circus, theatrical or trapeze performances." Such a humane and common sense act will meet with the hearty approval of the great body of the American people, and they will soon be asking for the same kind of legislation; but how in the world they reached such a conclusion in France is a wonder more wonderful than the wonderful things that boys do. It seems as if they would start the coming generation in the right course. They are acting on the motto, "Don't do as I do, but do as I tell you."
