DIR. Winship. 'The Boy Out of School," A
boy is always hungry intellectually just as
truly as he is always hungry physically.
A boy grows eight, ten OF eleven inches in a
lyear.
A boy Is often driven to the bad by the
baby talk. and criminal ignorance of hi.
, friends.
If teachers would employ all the time, they
ever spend in scolding, in a judicious teaching
of quotations, there would be small need OF
discipline. A boy must ask questions, and the
i teacher or parent, who forbids it is driving
the boy away from him. Boys of thirteen Oh
i fourteen can not endure petting or babying

minutes.
