WHO IS THE BAD BOY?

The bad boy-who is he? When you talk about the bad boy do you mean the mischievous boy ar the vicious boy? Practically all boys are mischievous, but there are very few bad boys.
 Of course. nearly every boy that is real boy likes to tease something. If it isn't the cat and dog it's the girls and younger children. and. per haps. the older people or the neigh borhood But when it comes to being downright bad-vicious-that's another story.
 Boys-healthy. normal boys-seem to be veritable storage batteries of energy. Now if this energy isn't used up in one way it is in another. If the boy isn't given some profitable direction in his play and his work he's bound to use up his surplus en- ergy in mischievousness. and thereby win for himself the unenviable desig- nation of the bad boy" But the worst of it is that he soon begins to live up to it by being the terror of the neighborhood.
 You can't make a boy work all the time and expect him to keep good and happy You can't let boy play all of the time and expect him to have well-developed personality. There must be n discreet combina-
