give more attention to their boys,
while young, TO hold them within
bounds, but as years roll by boys seem

thing that can and should be done is
for people TO do their duty toward
their offspring See that they are
kept under control at the proper age,
and not allowed to go hither and
thither at pleasure: hold them re-

into their actions when away from
home, and not let them run as cattle.
Duty toward children does not imply

be something far beyond melc eating
and sleeping place. Know where the
