EF Boys, finish your business and then
60 home. lfyour business is play, play,
and make business oft l like to see
boys play, good, earnest, healthfu games.
If | were the town. would give the boys
n good, spacious play ground, ltshould
have plenty ofsoft, green grass, and trees,
and fountains and broad space to run and
jump, and play suitable plays. l would
make it as pleasant as lovely, as it could
be, and | would give it to the boys to
play iu; and when the splay was ended,
would tell them to 60 home. Going
straight home when they had no business
to keep them abroad has made more
good aud great men out of boys than any

and it will do as much for you If you but
strictly live up to the rule--never dcyi
