KEEP BOYS AT HOME

A great many of our boys, ranging in
age from 6 to IA years, are allowed by
their parents to be on the streets at all
hours of the night. This is critical period
in boys life, and every means possible
should be taken to have them off the
stEeets ct an early honr. The home
should be made pleasant and entertain
ing for them and in after life they will
thank you for your kindness and goodness
to them. We do not desire to be hard or
want laws enacted that will not allow
them privileges, but what business has

day will be Il e men of tomorrow, who
will have the ruling of the nation and it
is very important that their lives should
