Imagination, and th-t Is no easy task
Now boy naturally prefers TO con-
troll others rather than himself. Think
ing he is right. he is not apt TO single
himself out for special disciplinary
treatment. and he usually regards en-
forced obedience TO those who insist
on being over him as all the discip-
line he needs, which means that the
task Of acquiring self control must be
set by a.other. Boys will form laws
and bylaws for their clubs, but they
do not aim at discipline in the interest
OF self control.
And he has another drawback. He
is in a state of unstable equilibrium
and he must learn himself. as new
traits come out. Then he seems to
drop everything else to get acquainted
with the latest conner among his at
tributes; while he is doing that. some

II ownership of something is es-
sential for a man. It is for a boy as
well. 1t Is necessary in a man be-
cause God has put him in the midst OF
things that are 10 be owned. has given
him a desire for possession and has
distinctly told him TO subdue and use
them.
So a boy must begin TO have things
of his own, for he needs training
IN that. as well as In his memory or
reasoning or power OF speech. Through
his memory, he owns much; through
laying up something. he is providing
for the future and increasing his pres
ent enjoyments and opportunities.
One can own only what he can
know and use. The vagrant has moth
ing TO enjoy; the very rich own very
little of what they have. because they
cannot enter into It, just as man
can have great supplies OF food, but
only assimilate one meal at time.
But some men are like an arrow-go
through life and accumulate nothing.
A boy must crafty that desire. Sc
cure that discipline and feel that re-

II he does not know II at first. he

but by coming under the control OF
his own higher nature-his judgment
and will and conscience. When he
reaches the age for taking himself out
OF the hands of his parents. just as
they once reached a similar age, he
must have been so trained In the
mastery Of himself that he is ready
for the new responsibility. And. I'M
less he has been given little tasks in

him to get along without them. while
