The worst habit that boys can fall into
is that of loafing around on the streets at
night. 1t is then they cast their lot in
slippery places, when at any moment they
are likely to fall from grace. All good
and noble lessons taught them by their
mothers are there connteracted and nulli-
fed. They learn nothing that is good
but everything bad. The boys who spend
their evenings in the sacred precincts of
home, with good books for their COM
panions, are the future hope of this re-
public. They will fill our legislative and
Congressional halls. and sit 10 Judgment

who run the streets will fill the peniten-
