| that axiom in philosophy, ''l1ke causes
| invariably produce like effects, he has
| progressed IN the direction of self-con-
! troll, provided the effect is painful.
Sugar piums never develop muscles in
| physical, moral or intellectual growth
The boy in babyhood can be taught right
! before he can reasOn-he can know when
the smile means approval, and when the
| sober protesting glance would check;
and he can further learn that compliance
means pleasure and compliance
| pain.
Soon as the hands and feet can follow
the guidance of the will, the discipline
of doing can begin. There is a great
! deal of silly whining about work in this
world. If God ever made a creature for
! idleness, naturaIists have failed TO CLASH
| fY It. Poets write Of ''butterhy on idle
wing, - but an observer will at once note
that fitting from flower to flower is but
! terffy work,
The boy who is taught as early as pre-
| cept aud example can teach it, that the
world is a busy hive full OF sweetness
where no drOnes are permitted, has
! learned an important lesson that viii be
| of service through life. Every child in q
home should have its special duties and
should be held responsible for the faith
full discharge of this duty, done because
it is his or hers, and not for pay in any
shape. The parent who hires the child
to do what is manIfestly its part of the
daily routine, or allows it done grudging-
ly, has taught him that he is an alien
and not child.
For the first few years the doing must
of necessity find its easOn in the will of
a superior, but insensIbly with the years
comes the better reason-doing because
it is right. Any system in the home
| or the school that interjects a
stimulus of rewards or brides
initiates against true manliness. The
memorable law Of right must become
ingrained in the boy. Proper motives
! for correct actions must be the moving
cause or the boy becomes, if not a dis
sembler, al least a vacillating charac-
ter; and this quality OF reliability
comes not by sugar plums in any shape
but by sturdy self-discipline that is
nOurished and strengthened by discipline
from parents and from tutors Don't
tell your boys to behave like little gen.
tlemen but tell them to be gentlemen.
The responsibility cannot be shifted,
neither can the result be attained, save
by careful cultivation, unvarying firm
ness and systematic methods
If to-day it is wrong for Johnnie
to have or to do certain
things, tomorrow it is wrong, not in the
sense of eXpediency, but of principle.
This distinction a child is slow to learn,
and the use Of the first the boy grown to
manhood is too apt to discern.
That parent or teacher who has taught
the boy to look within for springs of
ht-doing, and has taught to find in
his own breast the source of enjoyment in
duty done, has a guarantee for a success
full, manly career that no other system
will supply.
