MAKE COMPANIONS
OF YOUR CHILDREN.

Mayor J. E. Holiday, of Suffolk
Va. in compliance with a request
from the Y. NJ. C. A. headquarters
of the United States, has issued a
proclamation asking that during the
wear 1914 there be more care exer-
.;sad hv parents over their children,
and especially the conradeshlp be-
tween father and son.
/ The Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation is ON the right track, and the
sMsyor of Suffolk in endorsing the
suggestion has acted wisely.
While Dickens may have overdrawn
Dombey's conduct towards his daugh-
ter, it is unfortunately true that often
fathers are remjss in not making COM
panions of their children. 1t often
happens that specimens of the genus
homo devote more of their attention
to ogs than to their offspring, and
when they take walks, instead of sum-
moaing their children to accompan!
them. whistle for the family cur.
Of course, some parents have by
their strict surveillance in keeping
chi dren to their apron strings
robbed them of their childhood days.
They should at times be allowed TO
ror,p with companions of their own
ag:, but to turn them over entirely
to juvenile society and allow then to
grow up to regard their paterfamlllaS
as tyrant and being to be avoid
ed, is the serious side of the picture.
There are always many new years
resolves. a practical one for fathers
would be attempts to interest them
selves in their offspring an as often
as possible make companions OF them't
