Ths Savagery Of Boyhood.

Almost every father whose family
contains two or three healthy boys un-
der the age Of Is, certainly every
teacher in & boys school, unless he al
together fails to reach the hearts of
the youngsters around him, must feel,
after reading a volume or two of cur
rent children's literature, that his own
boys lack the tender sympathy, the
oPerhowing compassion, which it is
now the fashion TO impute to the
heroes of juvenile fiction. Those per-
sons who are not in a position to come
in contact with the children of to-day
need only to recall to memory the
enc of their own childhood in order
to find repeated episodes in which a
suffering kitten or puppy was the CEN
trail and unpitied figure. The c~allous-
ness of the children of ones own circle
will be made evident after a few min
utes spent in such clarifying (though,
to sensitive people, rather annoying)
introspection; and what is true of one
circle in this regard is approximately
true Of all. My own conviction is.
that healthy boys under Is feel yerv
little compassion for any suffering but
hat of their near relatives. their close
friends, and occasionally their pet an
imals. Not only do they evince little
compassion. but they often show
than an entire apathy, ven an actual
pleasure, at the sight Of pain inflicted
upon animals; aud sons. with whom
We need not now concern ourselFes,
take a delight that to grown people
seems almost tiendish in tormenting
their weaker playfellows. John Ja3H-
son, Jr., IN Popular Science Monthly.
