boys grow up with their sisters, in charge

IN early schOoldays the boys are subject
to women teachers exclusively.
Too much of this sort Of thing makes
the boys feminine or weak in some re-
spects. They must have male compan-
lonShip. and if they are too zealously
guarded against "associating with bad
boys, they are sure to do just that thing,
usually with the result feared bv the

mothers complain Of just this outcome,
