Without the discipline of home duties, or

unnatural. The best instinct OF every woman
is the home-making one-to render comfort

The home is the best school for character;
the boarding-house for scandal. One is the
unit Of the state and hope of Christian civil
ization; the other a necessary evil. AS all
men are "grown-up children" influences
detrimental to adult character are deter
minable by observing those injurious to
children.
Parents know that single season spent in
a hotel or boarding house renders the best
child less amenable to control and compare
lively Indifferent to love or punishment
Associations and environment producing
such results are Injurious to persons of
any age.
The fact that all civilized men who do not
possess homes are striving for them, arrays
the best portion OF our race against boarding
house life
tits also significant that in the cities having
the least home-life the greatest social de-
cadence is observable, as shown by numerous
divorces. J. II. l..

Fer development of character in the young,
of either sex, essential conditions are home
influence and family restraint and projections;
which conditions boarding-house life fails to
supply.
Character is the product of precept. ex-
ample and environment. and may be defined
as that which best fits for the duties OF life,
in oneis relation to the family to society. and
TO the state. Boarding house life is but a
makeshift for home life. Its elements are
unstable, variable. and incongruous, and for
that very reason cannot furnish suitable ma
terial either for foundation or superstructure
of character. in the true sense of the word.
For reasons above stated. boarding house
life, in any particular instance, may or may
not be of positive injury from deteriorating
influences, but nevertheless is necessarily in
