WHAT TO DO WITH BOYS IN
 SUMMER


 Three months of complete idleness Is not good for any boy of good health whether it Is vacation or a straight loafing spell. Such a period of aim lessness when a youngster needs pur- poseful occupation is an injury instead of benefit.
 It Is not strange that parents con- fess that they do not know what to do with their boys and girls during such a long period of time: or are wor- ried for fear that they may get into bad company and learn more of evil than can be taken out of them in a year.
 The vacation school was designed to lead youngsters along lines of devel- opment agreeable and profitable to them-schoois in which the play has a purpose which may be a means of a larger development and a broadening of the young mind.
 This long summer vacation need not be three months of street loitering and field rowing. with no idea of be- ing busy or helpful in any way. The boy who has his daily chores to do, and who is trained to assist about home Is the one who must become the most useful and dependable citizen.
 The opportunities for children to learn bad language and acquire bad habits are many where there is no restraint put upon them during the summer months, and they are left to put no value upon time or upon their own energies.
 It ls true that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" but the work that is followed by play and the play that is followed by some useful pur- suit is the character and manhood developing training every boy needs.
 The boz who is ambitious to earn pennies does not have to be assisted along industrial lines. for there is no end of little jobs for such boys to do: and he is making his way toward in- dustrial and profitable manhood.
 Parents should certainly check the idleness which is likely to work ad - versely to their children's future wei fare.
