Of particular interest, perhaps, were his views on what works with boys. At best, boys ignore these. The extended adolescence of today means that young people are taking longer to form their ethical code. Meanwhile, they can never have too much praise, provided that praise is sincere and descriptive , not empty or mere form. This does not do justice to Mr Lillicoe s presentation, but perhaps gives you an idea of what he spoke about.
