For the Palladium.
What Can my Son do Best!


What can my son do best ? seems
to be question Of no little impor.
lance now, with parents. To bind
q boy for six years or more to
come trade, as was the custom not
many years ago. does not exactly
suit the fond mothers of to-day,
and fathers do not recognize it as
the proper mode of giving the son
= chance to make his own way in
the world. 1t certainly is unpleas-
ant, aye sad, to fnd that, after
years Of toll under the bonds Of
apprenticeship, your son is untitled
for the trade he has learned and
inclines to something else. AS to
what your son can do best should
be matter of much consideration.
Some parents entertain the foolish
idea that the sickly son should be
a scholar, q writer, q teacher, or
anything requiring more BRAIN
work than physical labor. A per-
son with ill-health is no more fit to
teach school, write hooks, or per-
form literary labors of any kind.
than donkey is ct to lecture to
the citizens of Richmond. If your
son, therefore, 10 an invalid, do not
train him up to be man whose
brains must be his sole livelihood.
II we had more ministers Of the
Gospel, more NJ. C.'s, more pro-
fessional men, direct from the pillow,
the anvil, or the bench, We would
have country healthier, and bet
ter managed, in every respect.
How are you to know what your
son can do best, is the query. Well,
I believe any parent who watches
over a son, studies his nature,
observes his inclinations, can de
eide in what pursuit he would be
most successful. It should be
your duty to make him your study
1t should be your duty to give him
various kinds OF employment at
home when young. 1t should be
your duty to look into the organs
Of the mind-notice how your child
is constructed, deciding somewhat
from your own construction-we
would recommend to all mothers
and fathers a study Of Phrenology.
By knowledge of it one can de
termine to what pursuit a son
would be best adapted.
In conclusion, we hope our city
will be soon visited by phrenolo
gist and it is our opinion that
one would get q good house, and
that it would benefit wavering pa
rents to have their sons heads ex-
amined, and a chart made for fu-
ture reference. G.. GAR.
