WHAT TO DO NTH rnE BOYS
~. R. B. Of Pineville !


The warm weather is now coming on
and with it the tendency to loaf. Al
ready every evening when the weather
is at all permissible, great numbers Of
boys are heard making a date for meet
ing on the streets at night. Something
like twenty boys, between the age Of
seven and seventeen, spend several
hours after supper in the worst form Of
idleness. Whose boys are these? They
have or once had parents who are respon-
sible for thei: bringing DIP. While the
number mentioned seems small it might
be considered large for town of this
size. Why do these boys wish to con-
gregate on the street at night? There
are no saloons, what harm can they do?
Any casual observed may notice almost
a mania among them for certain forms
of gambling. They engage in many of
the petty gambling schemes and the
the seed of evil is planted that will
soon spring up and bear fruit. Already
some of them are slipping around and
playing cards in hidden corners. Does
it require the gift of prophecy to tell
what will be the inevitable outcome of
such conduct.
