THE EDUCATION OF BOYS

In The DeliHeat0r for November
Mrs. Theodore w. Birney has a
suggestive paper on the Education
of Boys as Future Fathers and
Citizens. The gist of her argu-
ment is that boys seldom receive
the sympathy to which they are
entltled-nOt a maudlin, Senti-
mental sympathy, that is calculat-
ed to spoil the child, but an intelli-
gent comprehension of his needs
and an interest in his doings and
belongings. Her conclusion is
that if parents will only take a
genuine interest in all things that
interest their boys, they can hold
their confidence, and so long as
they possess that they can be rea-
sonably sure that their sons will
not go far wrong Parents are
wont to look on the problems of
youth with eyes of an adult. How
much good would result to many
little fellows if their parents
would come down to their view
point or come up perhaps, recog-
nizing the limitations of their in
experience and judging their
deeds and misdeeds in the light of
it. The rule of the rod is past,
and inasmuch as the new order of
things has brought much happi-
, ness into the lives of the little
ones. so will a better understand
ing of the boy nature on the part
of parents benefit them immense
