LAZY BoYs-A lazy boy makes lazy mai
| just as crooked twig makes q crooked tree
Who ever saw a boy grow up in idleness tina
did not make vagabond when he became
man, unless he had fortune to keep up ap
! pearances. The great mass Of thieves, pau
pers and criminals that fill our penitentiarie:
and aim houses, have come to what they are
by being brought up in idleness. Those who
constitute the business part ofthe community
those who make our great and useful men,
were trained up in their boyhood to be indus
trious.
When boy is old enough to play in the
street, he is then old enough to be laugh how
to work. OF course, we would not deprive
children of heathful, playful exercise, or the
time they spend in study, but teach them to
work little by little, as child is taught at
school In this way he will acquire habits of
industry, which will not forsake him when
he grows up to be man. Many persons who
are poor, let their children grow up to four
teen or sixteen years of age before they put
them out to labor Such children, having no
idea what work is, and having acquired habits
of idleness, go to impose upon the employers
with laziness. Their s a responsiveness in all
work set before them, and get it done, no
matter how, is their only aim. They are
ambitious at play but dull at work. The con-
sequence is, they don't stick to one thing but
short time I; they rove about the world, get
INTO mischief and finally find their way into
the State prison or the aim house.
