wrong things are made to seem right.
The rush for pleasure and wealth makes
people careless about higher things. The
fault OF the times is IN irresponsible self
will.
A boy who has been trained by good
parents knows the value of good con-
science. and that in times of trial or
responsibility it will solve problems and
deliver him from temptation He re-
members the simple but clear teaching
of 4 little verse on character:
Build it well. whate'er you do;
Build it straight and strong and true;
Build it clean and high and broad;
Build it for the eye of God"
In a good home a boy learns that
everyone is under a law, and that on his
good conduct depends the welfare of all.
When he enters the larger duties of life
he will find that the same laws that he
was taught as a boy make for happiness
and hclpfulness IN the world, Thus he
\ is equipped to be law-abiding citizen
He loves his country, looks forward with
pride to the rights and privileges he will
have as voter, understands that il is a
duty to have moral courage IN time OF
peace as in time of war He is true
patriot. and realizes that national holi-
days are days not merely for parade or
fun or excitement. but days to remember
the heroic men who helped to make the
country, and who gave their lives for il,
and so he determines to help to keep the
nation pure in laws and noble in its aims.
Tho Coming oenoratlon
Boys are to be the fathers and home
makers of another generation. They are
to be the lawmakers, the citizens who
are to uphold the great principles for
which our country stands. They need
to be inspired with thoughts OF their
