He uses slang, too, and this horriies his moth

one day he caps the climax by coming home one
hour beyond his usual time with black eye.
At this point she decides that school has been
the ruin Of her son, and that she would have
done much better il she had let the education
go and kept him at home where she could have
watched his morals.
She does not know that there is another In
Nucnce just as strong as hers which is now work
ing upon her child. The teacher has charge Of
him for several hours every day of the week ex-
cept two, and SO she cannot help becoming a
potent factor in his life.
What kind of an influence she will be depends
upon whether or not she can succeed in making
him like her. He must either "1ove her. or

means that she antagonizes him, that she

Still, of parents and children it is also true that
