UNTO YOU, YOUNG NAN,
WE WRITE.

1t has been asserted that every
man can live within the limit of
his income; and of the average
young man, at least, it is doubt
less true. AT all events the
necessaries of life are very cheap
and very small, indeed, must be
the wage that will not permit a
young man to support life sober
ly and decently. 1t is the lux
uries that come high, the un-
necessary cigars, the indulgence
in liquors, the questionable
entertainments, the betting, the
card playing, trying to ape those
III better circumstances. These
are the things for which young
men generally go into debt for,
not for the necessaIes of life.
For the "husks of swine" verify,
that mortage themselves, souls
and bodies. For tile sake of
gratifying his vanity of dress
ing as well as others who have
more than double his means; by
wishing to oppear what he calls
as up-to-date as his friends or
boon companions, many excuses
of Esau, whose necessity was at
least real. His wants are imagi-
nary, and their qualification
only serves to create al army of
unlawful desires, which drags
him lower and lower into the
slough of debt, dependency and
degradation, until manhood,
honor, hope enthusiasm, self
respect-all that makes life
dear-goes out in darkness. "A
contented mind is ascontented
feast" but a feast can never be
enjoyed by the victim to debt.

Tf4E ROMANCE OF MODERN EDUCATION- THE BOY

Hard work is the third essential to
good morale in preparatory school.
Regarding this, there is much misap-
prenension. Some are inclined to think
that in the boys preparatory schools Of
the first class the lads are petted and
pampered and neglected. AS a matter
OF fact, some of our colleges could we'll
afford to envy our preparatory schools
their tradition of hard work and their
splendid spirit of scholarship. Find
for your boy school where the boys
tell the truth, fight fairly and work
hard, and you have chosen a place
where men can be made.

BY DIR. DOUGLAS S. FREEMAN.

appear IN This section OF The Times
Dispatch, none will better repay close
study than those Of the preparatory
schools for boys. These represent a
class of institutions which has been
peculiarly successful in Virginia, and
which has long added lustre to the
name Of the Commonwealth. Standing
to-day at the highest point of their
splendid development, these schools
offer to parents the best facilities for
educating the lads Of the State-offer
what many regard as the greatest
educational opportunity in the State
Many things combine to make the
preparatory school for boys strategic
centre in our educational system In
the first place. these schools receive the
boys who by birth and standing may
DE expected to furnish most Of the
leaders for the next generation. Men
who are themselves the products Of the
old-fashioned academy, and who appre-
clate the service which such an institu-
ton rendered them, naturally desire
that their sons shall have the same
advantages, and consequently send
them to the great preparatory schools
Of the South.
Then, again, the preparatory school
is OF vital Importance in that it tutors
the boy during the formative period of
his life. Entering school when he is
seven, the boy remains there until he
is about fifteen, during which time he
has passed from childhood through the
crucial days Of early adolescence, and
has undergone the most fundamental
psychological changes. Some of the
greatest minds Of the age, realizing the
Importance of this age, have given to
it years Of study, and all agree that
properly to guide the youth in this
period of transition is one of the most
important social tasks of the present
era
Furthermore, the preparatory
school receives the boy and teaches
him during the time when his mind is
being fixed, and his intellectual horizon
is being broadened. None who has
passed through this age under the
guidance of some great and noble spirit
can ever forget what it means Grad
ually, as comes the day, the meaning of
education daWns on the awakened spirit
of the boy; names become personali-
ties; study shows its purpose and it's
end; learning becomes vital Properly
led, when the boy reaches this age his
ambition will be aroused, his desire to
know will be increased beyond measure
and his intellectual outlook will become
alert. Neglected or misled, he will
soon lose the curiosity which has been
aroused, and will lapse into a mental
vacuity, from which he can never be
aroused. Thus there is for the teacher
of boys tremendous opportunity and
an equally great responsibility: he can
make men or midgets

Finally, the preparatory school is

with all their genius to train their boys
In Florence, for instance, the Medici
threw open their home and received the
most promising boys of the republic, to
have them tutored in art, in science and
in literature. That it was worth while
is attested by the fact that among those
lads who toiled in the Medici gardens
was one who, as Michael Angelo, is
known to the world as the greatest
artist of his age. In the same city,
when the great father, Jerome Savon-
arola, wanted to insure the perpetual
ton Of his ideas, he did not rely upon
his Lenten sermons in the Duomo, but
rather upon the boys his ''little
angels" he called them-whom he
tutored in the Swallowed garden of quiet
San Marco.
In the same way, during the days
of the Reformation, both the Parent
and the Daughter Church based their
hopes upon the boys The great orders
Of the day, the Dominicans, the Fran
ciscans and the venerable Benedictines,
as well as the new and powerful Jusuits,
chose from their ranks their most
magnetic leaders, and gave them what
the fathers regarded as the most
important work, that Of training the
boys. At the Reformers' universities,
and particularly at Erfurt and at Wit
tenburg, where DR.. Luther taught, the
boys came in early adolescence and lived
under the watchful eye of their pro-
fessors. England's experience is the
same. Almost as soon as the ancient
foundations Of Oxford and Cambridge
were established, grammar" schools
for boys began to appear throughout
England, nurtured and endowed by
England's most far-seeing philanthropy
lists Soon came the establishment Of
Elton in 1441, upon which has been
lavished through the centuries the
genius Of England's statesmen and
educators. At this great school, where
boys between eight and sixteen are
taught, some Of England's best teachers
have toiled with the frank declaration
that they believed themselves doing the
best possible service for their country
in training the future statesmen. The
same is true of Harrow, England's
second great preparatory school.
But if one needs confirmation Of the
great work to be done by the schools
for boys, one need only observe the
progress of these schools in America.
The private academy" which we have
described as the forerunner of the
present-day college was established and
maintained, not because it was the only
educational need of the day, but because
it was, by all odds, the most important.
Since the war no branch of education
has claimed larger toll of magnificent
teachers or done a larger service than
the prep" school

The Teachers Above All Else.

The most important single factor in
a preparatory school is not the building,
the location, or even the curriculum. It
is the human element-the teachers. 1t
is impossible to overemphasize the
Importance of this, for it outweighs
every other consideration, and fixes the
standing of school so accurately that
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1913-08-10
What Makes the School?

If, then, the preparatory school is
SO important in that it takes boys at
the critical age of life and develops them
toward manhood, how can the average
father determine the merits of the
various schools for boys, and how can
he be positive what makes the school?
Of the many whose announcements
appear in this section, which is the best
suited for the boy whose father reads
these lines? In answer, it may truth
fully be said that all are good: were
they otherwise, they would not be
admitted to a place in this paper. So
good are they, indeed, that the most
discriminating can find but little to
choose among them. Yet there are
certain standards by which the pre-
paratory school, not less than the
college, can effectually be gagged
Certain things are necessary in any
good preparatory school. The father
has only to determine what these are
and whether they are to be found in a
given school to make his choice a safe
one.
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1913-08-10
The Age of Moral Change.


Finally, the preparatory school is
a mighty cog in our educational
machine, because it is intrusted with
the task of turning out moral men.
The boy who enters the preparatory
school comes from his mother child:
he goes from his teacher a young man.
During the years of his training in the
preparatory school his moral nature
receives it's deepest stirring, and the
tWig is bent. 1t is wonderful age in
this respect! There is ambition for
physical strength and craving for
mora! might; the great first campaign
against evil must be won or lost.
If one is inclined to doubt the
Importance Of the preparatory school
In the training Of young manhood, he
need but review for a moment the
annals Of education to see how the
brightest minds and the most altruistic
leaders have chosen this as the most
promising field of their endeavor. In
the middle ages, for instance, when
learning was at it's lowest, the fathers
OF the church read that Socrates had
labored with adolescents, and they did
likewise. In every monastery boys
schools were opened and placed under
the charge Of the ablest and most
brilliant monks. From these schools,
let it be noted in passing, came the
great preachers, the great builders and
the great singers of the church. A
