A short time ago the French avi-
ator Bider, starting from Pau
where Wilbur Wright had first
proved to doubling Europe that
man can fly if he will, rose, in
steady fight, to an elevation Of
5000 feet, and then sailed serenely
over the great mountain barrier
that separates France from SPAIN

peaks and the lofty horne of the
eagles. and demonstrating that
those mountains which from time

stood like an impregnable wall

him wings.
At the present moment such a
feat is hardly more than e spectac-

The answer to this assertion is
that there's nothing the matter
with the home of today, nor the
mothers of today. The people who
talk about how superior things
were in the times of our grandpar-
ents belong to the has been class
who are forever telling us how
much better the rallow candles and
the stage coach were than electric
lights and the automobile are.
Our grandmothcrs and our moth
ers were good women and good
mothers, and did the best they
could for their homes and children
according to the light they had, but
they didn't know the first thing
about housekeeping. nor chtId-rear-
ing, according to modern stand
ards, Nor didn't put in ttthe Of
the thought, nor intelligence, on the
proposition of making a home or
bringing up their children that
their granddaughters do.
We are forever hearing about
how the women of the past devoted
themselves to their children. and
how the women of today neglect
theirs. But did YOU ever go to
some old country church yard and
look at the lines of little graves in
every family plot? You will see

good Of the boys. but also out Of re-
spect for the feelings of the people who
live in the neighborhood Where pos
sible the children are invited to go to
church, after which they take walks,
go in bathing, read, tell stories, etc.
Usually a song service of a more or
less religious nature is held in the
evening. Often one Of the directors
delivers an address in the main hall
of the camp.
Some of the influences that are
brought forcibly to bear upon the
youths are those which put premium
on honor. truth, patience, generosity,
forgiveness, usefulness. politeness,
sturdiness, pluck and the like. A
camper who is lacking in any of these
qualities is soon made to feel the
need of them, greatly to his benefit.
1t does a boy world of good to mix
with lot of other boys Of his own
age, observing, as he usually will.
their good traits and bad traits.
The educational advantages of camp
life are only less important than are
the moral advantages. For the most
part the school books are closed. but
nature is wide open. Book knowledge
is of great value, but practical knowl-
edge is often of more value.
In camp boys often get their first
practical knowledge of money values.
Here first they manage their own al
lowances and learn what it is to go
broke till the next allowance is dis
tributed. They aften compete with
the native boys of the village in their
efforts to earn small sums of money
to tide them over or to enable them
to buy coveted treasures. This is a
very good experience for any boy.
l have noticed that during the Sec
ond year at camp boy takes better
care of his things than he does during
the first year. This may be due to
the fact that near the end of the first
season his clothes. especially his
trousers, were In bad condition, due
to carelessness. and as no new ones
were forthcoming, the lad became
more or less self-conscious about his
appearance. greatly to the delight of
his companions. Sometimes a boys

ing where the fault is, makes him get

At camp children learn from neces-
sity to mend. sew on buttons, sharpen
tools. and best Of all they learn how
important it Is to keep toeas sharp by
practice In turning the grindstone.

they do not know the difference be-
tween a pear and an apple tree. In
most camps boys learn to make these
distinctions.
In camp boys and girl learn to wash
dishes, to be economical with food and
to like food that they would not
previously eat at home. | have known
camp life to change boys appetite
completely, so that on going home he
was glad to eat such wholesome foods
as boiled rice and Indian meal mush,
which he would not touch before.
Camping life will not make child
expert at any particular trade or &C.
cupation, but it serves to show him
how much skill is required in doing
much of the work usually performed
by the laboring classes. Whenever a
boy tries to perform any manual la.

ing small boats. He learns the use OF
tools common to country people, who
are more independent of plumbers.
carpenters, masons, etc, than city
people are.
|. Perhaps one of the most important
lessons for a child to learn is respect
for labor. When boy has hoed q
few hills of horn he instinctively re-
marks that he would hate to keep
that up all day. If he follows the hay
cart for an hour he realizes that 'rak-
ing after" is not all sport. When he
takes a shovel and attempts to assist
In digging a trench or drain he sud-
denly realizes why those laborers
whom he has seen in the city at the
same kind of work seemed to take
their time about it. After five min
utes Of that work he learns just where
his backbone is located.
There are many other educational
advantages which are incidental to
camp life, such as practice in singing.
speech making, editorial work on the
camp paper, literary entertainments.
ETC. The camp paper though, seldom
more than simple manuscript. is
often a very ingenious production. in
which the editor. together with the
camp artist, succeeds in bringing
home to the lads some wonderful bits
of news as we'll as some healthful
truths.
The social advantages of camp life
are many and varied. The close rela-
ton in which boys live at camp in

WI son at SOOO SuuLuoI camp
it leaves an impression on
IsA}NSI his mind that time will not
eradicate At the close OF
the season he has had the fun that
he wanted to have, he has taken his
part in the games and contests. he has
climbed mountains and sailed on lakes
and streams, he has cruised with the
fellows and shared their pleasures and
hardships, and he has returned home
filled with the memories Of gorgeous
feasts, of midnight pranks. Of adven-
lures on sea and on land. Of encoun-
tiers with friend and with foe, and OF
moments when the success or failure
of a battle depended solely on his
strength, his skill and his valor.
The influence left on a child's char
acter by summer thus spent cannot
but be important. In the first place
the child is away from his parents.
away from those to whom he is accus-
toned to go for sympathy and advice.
He is placed on his own resources in
a manner quite new and strange.
A camp is not at all like boarding
school, where there are regular duties
and a fixed routine for each activity OF
the day The summer camp means
fun, freedom, frolic and chance to do
nothing if one wishes. The boarding
school means order, discipline, re-
straint and hard work at all times.
Therefore. when a boy finds himself at
a camp for the first time in his life he
is often at loss to know what to do,
because he is often left to his own
choice.
He has many new problems which
must be thought out alone. He has
come to camp to have a barrel Of fun,
and he means to have it. His first i'm
pulse is to make friends with every
body, and especially with the coun-
do this And it Is the especial duty of
the counsellors to have.a watchful eye
out for the new boys, to see that they
do not get homesick or tire OF the
camp because of inactivity.
Ten weeks of camp life cannot but
have it's effect on the character OF lads
who are just beginning to feel the first
impulses to do things that they have
read about in books. There are no
boys SO bad that there is not some
good in them and there are no boys
in camp so good that there is no bad
in them, and some of it Is pretty sure
to crop out before summer is over. In
many boys this badness has been Turk
Ing for years. 1t has not shown itself
because of lack Of opportunity. The
boys camp Is one Of the places where

opportunity to unbottle itself without
serious injury to the boy.

Quent occurrence. Before a bad habit
has been fixed on the boy he is
brought to a halt and having been
shown that he has been doing wrong
he learns a valuable lesson.
