begins to use bad language he enters
on course that leads easily to destruc-
ton. Association with other boys at
night, without supervision, helps on
this evil way. Let's all get together in
this community and stop the profanity.

teachers. There are some hopeless,
hardened sinners, addicted to the use
of bad language, but save the boys.
