What a Boy Should Know at Eighteen.

President Dwight Ia the Forum.
A youth of eighteen, who is to have the best
chances, should know how to study and how to
do it with enthusiasm also, because he has
learned the lesson at least five years before
Enthusiasm, guided and controlled by knowl-
edge to the use of the powers, is the true life
of a living man, alive with the spiritual forces
Everything else is in sleep, or is dead.
make my starting point and my guiding
thought the thought that he should learn how
to study, and should gain enthusiasm at the
beginning.
In the first place, as think, the study of Ian
guage may be most hopefully and successfully
started in these earlier years. The boy moves
joyfully where the man finds only labor and
WEAKNESS. The children of our households to-
day may gain the same thing that We gained at
five and twenty, and far more than we gained.
when they ten or twelve; and the progress
is like the joyful song of their childhood, when
they are led along the rational method. They
grow up into French or German, as il were as
they grow up into English and talk and read
and sing in these languages just as they do in
their own. Why should they not breathe in
enthusiasm with every breath of their learning?
1t was with great price, indeed, that we OBJ
tanned this freedom. But they were free born.
Let me say here that, IN my Judgment every
boy who has the best chances ought to have the
mastery of the French or German language I
should say Of Dotb) before he Is eighteen years
OF age-a mastery kindred to that which he has
of English. He should also have such knowi-
edge Of Greek and Latin as will mean power in
and over those languages. and will enable him
to read them with ease and satisfaction as he
enters upon his college course. The man who
knows the ancient languages as he ought TO
know them will never contend against their
holding place in the education Of all widely
educated and roundly educated men.
The boy who has the best chances ought, in
the years between twelve and eighteen, to be
set forward on his course in history and the be-
ginnings at least, of the literature of his own
language.
My feeling is that the boys who have the
best chances should know something of music,
and should, at least, see the opening of the
door toward art studies. The opinion is now
well established suppose, that all persons
can be instructed in vocal music with measure
of success. believe that the same thing can
be accomplished in the line Of instrumental
music.
That the mathematical studies should be pur-
sued theoretically before the youth has
reached the age of which We are speaking, /
may add, is admitted by all The men Of the
former generations and the men Of our day
agree at this point

green of the orange trees, the flashing
d0mes of the marble huts, and thou
sand other things. Then over all brooded
the peace of evening, and the infinite

with changing hues of splendor, that
wrapped the mountain and cliffs IN
cloaks of purple and Of gold, and lay
upon the quiet face of the water like the

Perhaps, also, the contrast and the
memory of those three awful days and
nights in the hopeless desert enhanced
the charm, and perhaps the beauty of
the girl who walked beside me completed
it. For of this | am sure, that of all
