Everyone remembers the idyNic pictures ne used to see of the entire
family around the evening lamp. There was Father reading the newspaper.
Mother, dear hou8ewifeys soul, a knitting a pair of socks The cat purred
by the Preside. The boys and girls read their Oliver Optic or played jack
straws.
In those days, a family that after 7 I. III. could not call the roll and
have all the children answer present, was considered loose lin family gov
eminent. But where ire the boys now?
AS the winter evenings come, the Boy Scout, Knights of King Arthur
and many other organizations open up their doors. Many old fashioned
people see with alarm the boys being drawn from their safe. quiet and
peaceful homes. They may nominaly be headed for the roy Scout meeting
hut actually for some undesirable hangOut Some of the boys have more
engagements in the evening than the grownups, and they almost necd a
private secretary TO keep their dates Strengthened out.
For better Or worse, the picture o. the entire family gathered around
the evening lamp is not so familiar today. 1t still exists OIL the farm. Even
the crossroads dance may not tempt the young folks to walk the several
more and more little society man.
Wise parents do well to insist on n good amount of sleep yet they can
not check these tendencies OF the age entirely. a boy needs the expert
ence of associatlng with his own kind. lie must be trusted to take his
little flights out from Mothers wing. If he cant be let out of sight at the
age of IL, no never "a be. If he can join some good boys organization
under competent supervision he learns some lessons of responsibility, self
reliance, and sefgovernment that his father never had.
