THOSE HABITUALLY IDLE.


There is not a person in the city of
Wilmington who has not, even in the
most prosperous times, noticed with
wonder the number of young men loi-
tering about the streets of the city or
in other places of public character,
and whose appearance bore every evil
dence of intelligence and capability to
become useful citizens if they would
but throw off the shackles of Incidence
and enter into an active participation
in the affairs OF the world which sur
rounds them and which gives a hearty
welcome to every man and woman who
is willing to work at something suit
able to his or her talents. This is not a
new thing, by any means, and is due
largely to the indulgence OF parents
Too many fathers and mothers dream
that their boys and girls are born to
play magnificent parts in the worlds
history. They form their ideal OF what
the future Of such and such a child is
to be. and too often confide their ex-
pectations in the object of their affec-
tions. They expect their child TO be
something great, and he expects to be
something great. They are not willing
that he should be anything less, and he
is perfectly willing to idle away his
time at their expense and wait for this
greatness to come to him. In other in
stances where the parents are willing
that their children should fiji any hon
orable position in the worlds work
house, no matter how humble it may
be, they are too indulgent to force then
to work should they entertain higher
ideals or be imbued with the notioI
that they can get along in this lif,
without work and that the world owe
them a living regardless of their cours
of action while in it, But few person
realize the awful effects of this idleness
Many years ago Horace Greeley wrot
as follows:
Every child should be trained to dex
terity in some useful branch of produC
tive industry, not in order that he shal
certainly follow that pursuit, but tina
he may, at all events, be able TO do S
in case he shall fail in the more inte
lectual or artificial calling which
may prefer to it, Let him seek to be
doctor, lawyer. preacher, poet, if
will; but let him not stake his all o
success in that pursuit, but have a SCI
ond line to fall back upon if drive
from his first Let him be so rears
and trained that he may enter. if
will, upon some intellectual calling
the sustaining consciousness that
need not debase himself, nor do VII
lence 10 his convictions, in order
achieve success therein since he c.
