WHERE IS MY WANDERING BOY

We have often been touched by
the hymn, Where Is My Wandering
Boy Tonight" and few days ago
we had an example of the great
need of cafe and training for boys.
We have always been impressed
with the fact that boys are often
neglected - neglected In the home,
sometimes in the school and Sunday
scnOol and Church.
Girls seem to DO more attractive
and possibly a little more tractabfe.
They can be dressed more effective
ly and, therefore. can make a better
show In the little programs and en-
tertainments. They are, therefore,
placed in the frcnt rank for show,
and the boys take the back seat
and are soon made TO think that their
place is in the background. and, as
a result, they seek their own COM
pany, and very often in places where
they ought not to be, and do things
they ought not to do. They thus are
led into vulgaiity and coarseness IN
dress, in looks and in speech.
What wonder then that the state
must have a school of reform? And
what wonder that many of its In
mates are from homes of fairly good
standing in their community?
n. An r.. .b.. .o,obad o,r HEARTS
was q real wandercr. From his story
he had father and mother Of the
most vicious cort, and he was an
unwelcome addition to the family.
Consequently, as Coon as he could
toddle about, he left home. wander
ed from Tennessee into Kentucky,
was sent to the School OF Reform for
some misdemeanor and, after a num-
Der of months there, escaped, too
far gone and too vicious for almost
any methods Of training.
In Berea he was apprehended by
the Marshal, Mr.. Harrison, and taken
before the police Judge, Mr.. Holiday,
who returned him to the School
OF Reform at Lexington. The Mar
shall was told there that he was in
corrigible and hopeless, and that they
wished he had escaped into Tennessee
SO that the state would be rid q
him.
What II he wero your boy? or
course, II you were as low and de-
graded as his parents, you might
have little feeling for him.
The incident serves to impress up
on our minds the looseness OF par
entail government - how far remoy-
ed we are from, not only the ideal.
but the good, when it comes to stand
ards OF government, in the home
and society, and training, and, more
than all, breeding. Why should not
society regulate marriage? Why
should we not teach eugenics? Why
should The state not have something
to say about the product OF the
home? How long will the utter waste
OF life go on for the want OF US
simple knowledge as regards human
life as every intelligent farmer aud
stock raiser knows.
We not only need TO save people
save the boys-but we need to adopt
some methods that will prevent the
need of saving them-prevent the
badness and leave them saved. IT
sometimes seems foolish TO talk
about salvation. That we have to do
so is our indictment. Does II not
look as II our civilization commits
us TO the policy Of supplying as
many and vicious and outrageously
bad as possible in order to get TO
save them.
