DESIRE FOR WORK.
Often a Sign of Arrested Development
Instead of Strength.

Parents often think their son Is es-
pecially promising because he wants
to get to work young, wants to leave
school and be earning, says the Jour-
nal Of Education. This Is never a sign
of strength, but always Of weakness.
When boy wants to get to work In
stead Of getting ready to work 1t in
dicates arrested development
There Is not one probability in fifty
that a boy who desires to leave school
at the sixth grade and is allowed to
do SO will ever amount to anything.
It Is not the fact that he does not
have as much education as the other
boys, but that he does not have their
purpose to get ready for the doing Of
things.
Teachers often greatly err in deal
ing with such boys and their parents
by trying to show how important 1t
Is that they should know what they
will learn in the seventh and eighth
grades, whereas that is the least part
Of 1t. 1t is a case Of arrested devel-
opment usually, and this Is what
should be treated-treated as a dis
ease.
We make a lot of talk about de-
fective sight and hearing and we do
we'll, but it Is vastly more important
that we "get busy in defective mem
tai progressive development. There
is a nearsightedness of parents and
pupils that Is criminal. 1t contributes
to delinquency, and is within the
statute and subject to court punish
ment."
It sometimes shows itself In divert
ed attention, in dissipated interest
and often in overathletic or fraternity
zeal. The college theory is that the
fraternity chaps are the elect, but life
does not show that. The data are
Imperfect at present, but there is
enough to make it wholly probable
that when the figures are In 1t will be
clearly shown that in the last fifteen
years, when fraternity life has been
extra social and extra political In
clannishness, much Of the fraternity
zeal indicates approaching arrested
development. 1t is entirely clear al
ready that this is highly characteris-
tic Of the high school fraternity, be-
cause it almost invariably means that
a set Of fellows dare not trust them
selves to win honors in the open con-
test, but seek it as a favoritism by
means Of a little band Of social high
waymen, as many of these high
school fraternities are.
