There is no danger SO great for q

and fathers would save their boys, they
should give them something to do. Buy
an ak and a saw, and let them chop
up that wood, no matter how large
the bank account. Let them keep the
weeds from the garden and the tall
grass from the lawn, the dirt from
their own clothes and the dust from
their own shoes. Don't do everything
for them. 1t pays to teach the boys
work-not so much for what they can
do as for what it does for them If
more boys could have a piece of ground,
a shop, place of some kind where they
could work of their superfuous energy,
we would hear less of truant and reform
schools. In the matter of reading, too,
if you do not wish the boys to read
worthless books and trashy novels, you
must put into their hands good, we'll

type, which will discourage a young
