The direct responsibility OF pa
rents is greatest, however. in deter
mining the environment OF their chill
dren; and the chief factors in deter
mining that environment are the
moral characters and the habitual
! manners and customs of the two pa-
rents.
Children understand from very
early age the moral qualities of their
parents, and are strongly influenced
thereby.
They know, for example, whether
their mother is just or not in her
dealings with her children. They
soon learn whether they can depend
on what she says, or must make al
lowances for her inaccuracy and ex-
aggerations. They are mucn more
affected by her habitual conduct to-
ward them than by her exhortations:
than by their substance.
A father who never exerts and
seldom commands may nevertheless
have a profound influence on his boys
all through their lives; because his
own way of life gives them complete
assurance as to the conduct in them
that he would approve or would con-

feeling toward luxurious, indolent
and selfish father. 1t is the same
with the teachers of boys.
To have a good influence with boys
the teacher must be himself high
minded, altruistic, and just. He
may be an impatient or passionate
man, and yet have a good influence
on boys; but he must never fail as
regard truthfulness. courage and
moral vigor.
Active minded boys often form a
clear opinion about their parents
candor from the habits of the pa
rents in answering their frequent
questions. Downright confessions
Of ignorance on the part OF the pa
rents do no harm whatever. Imagi-
nary answers in imagined cases can
do but little harm; for at worst they
are futile or absurd. False, mis-
leading, or shifty answers to serious
inquiries do infinite harm, because
they destroy the boys confidence in
the parent. An intelligent boy IL al

The dogma is a vicious importation
into family and school of a training

1t is an ancient but detesta BILE
theory in education that no discip-
line or training tina, is ec1,yable is
useful; and that men.a; exercises
must be repulsive if they are to be
oc use in training the power of ap-
plication. Precisely the opposite is
the correct principle.
The power OF concentrates atten-
ton is acl.ited far more easily and
completely in a study os sport which
Interests tie child thsa in a study
or sport which does not; and that
power ONE gained eau be effectively
applied in unattractive subjects.
Both children and adults undergo
without injury hardships and fatig-
ues when they are enjoying them
selves that would exhaust and depress
them physically if they were not en-
joying themselves.
Boys and girls will dance for five
hours with pleasure and without
harmful fatigue. when they would
be used up by running and hopping
without music for the same period
along a dull highway. This is just
as true of enjoyed studies as of
sports. In learning to write, for ex-
ample. more time should be given to
the letters the child can form well
than to those it can not; for the
needed eve and hand skill will be
more rapidly developed in making
the first than the second. Writing
masters used to act on the opposite
principle; if child could not make
or well, it should make nothing
but g's and o's.
In the training OF children, wheth-
er boys or girls, the effort should al
ways be to train their senses to &C
curate observation, but to do this
through play and work which inter
est the children. Those games or
sports are always to be preferred
which cultivate the accurate use of
eye, ear and hand, rather than those
which rely on chance or luck for
their interest. AT school this train
ing in exact observation would be
amply given through natural study,
manual training and the laboratory
teaching Of the sciences.

no mechanical trade. In these days
of high wages in the building trades

must earn his living and wishes to

pair.
Some of the most valuable and
profitable professions are open only
to men who possess an unusual com
bination of sense skills. Thus every
Irtist must have great skill of both
eye and hand; every surgeon should
possess a combination of skills with
eye, ear and hand. and a retentiye
memory for forms learned through
the eye, textures learned through
the touch and sounds learned through
the ear. Many trades need special
sense and nerve skill. Thus, a
motorman, a chauffeur or a 1ocomo-
tive engineer needs quick eye and
a short time reaction; and every ma
chinist should possess similar facul-
ties. A painter should possess a dis
eliminating eye for shades OF color;
and without the same trained sense
a blacksmith can not temper properly
the drills and many other OF the i'm
plements he makes.
The early discovery by parents Of
special sense gifts in their boy, if
wisely followed up, may assure his
success in life
THE IMPORTANCE OF STRONG
MOTIVES.
Far the best thing the parents can
do for a boy is to develop in him a
firm character and group of strong
motives which will lead him in the
great majority of cases to right ac-
ton.
How many parents accomplish
this best of all services to their sons?
First, through inheritance from
themselves. In the formation Of
character both herdity and envioron-
ment count largely, but heredity
most. To be sure, parents are some
times confounded by the appearance
among their children of child whose
powers greatly exceed those of it's
parents or of any known ancestor, or,
on the contrary, fall much below
those of any progenitor.

his father or teacher put him Off with
a fable when he had asked for the
fact, or gave him a rigmarole instead
of the simple truth.
THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING
FAITH.
Boys often love tenderly O foolish
and ignorant parent who has been
good to them; but insincerity, false
pretense. or hyprocisy found out by
children in their parents or teachers
destroy the very foundation Of res
pect and confidence.
Assuming conscientious parents.
who wish to do their very best for
their sons, what are the qualities that
they should aim to develop in each
boy? The first is alertness of mind
and senses. All promising boys
show more or less of this quality in
their early years. They are inquisi-
tive; their minds and senses are
wide-awake to see, hear and touch.
They want to try experiments; they
learn by experience. When they
first see lighted candle they reach
to touch the flame. From morning
till night they are active and excur-
sive. not dwelling long on the same
object or the same subject, but
keeping all their faculties constant
ly in play. and getting practice IN OBJ
servation.
The alert boy is often troublesome
to perents and teachers, but he is
the most promising boy, and great
pains should be taken to direct his
inquiring mind and eager senses to
wholesome subjects, like plants.
animals, books, forests, landscapes
and the products and tools of hu-
man industry.
Parents who are in constant and
intimate companionship with their
children can do them a great service
by cultivating in them the habit of
doing their best in whatever occupa-
ton is interesting them strongly.
1t is not natural to- children to
devote continuous attention to any
subject for a long period. What is
important is that, while they work
on any subject they should work
hard with a concentrated attention
if it is only for ten minutes at a
time.
Some parents are annoyed when a
child gets so absorbed in a book or
a picture, or a game that it makes
no response to a question or a com
mand, but they never should be.
The child has unconsciously inhibit-
ed all sights and sounds external to
its occupation for the moment; and
success in such inhibition is a very
favorable sign in any child.

The group of motives toward right

to develop in their children includes
hope. love and lopalty, and most OF
all the sense of duty; motives which
all promising children feel from an
early age, and which when we'll train
ed In youth, remain the dominating
motives of adult life.
NEW STANDARD OF PURITY.
The promising boys Of the future
should be carefully trained to anoth-
or moral and mental quality of ut
most value to society, namely, pur-
ity. This Is a demand which civiliz-
ed society and some barbarous COM
munities have long made with regard
to women, but has been only
comparatively lately suggested with
regard to men.
The progress of biological science
within the last twenty years has
made it clear that purity and
chivilary in boys and men
must be made specific object
of training in the rising geierations,
in order that civilized man may sue
cessfully contend against the ply
sical and moral evils which urban life
and the factory system have devel-
oped in the whole race. z
Some of these evils are ancient;
but the grave menace of their exis-
tence and growing prevalence has
not been appreciated until lately.
Fortunately, the same progress OF
biological science which has exhib-
tied the evils has provided means of
contending against them. The only
complete remedy, however, will be
found in the gradual acceptance of
new standards of purity and honor
in the male sex.
SOURCE OF SATISFACTION.
Finally. in the bringing up Of
boys, parents and teachers ought
to dwell on the sources and nature of
the real satisfactions of life. They
should point out that the best things
can not be bought with money that
the most enjoyable acquisitions are
personal skills, mental capacities and
the domestic joys, none OF which is
determined or greatly affected by the
amount OF ones material possessions
that the possession of wealth or of thte
power that raw wealth gives, Is not
sensible object for any boy to set be-
fore himself, since it proves a curse
oftener than blessing.
Among the life-occupations which
present themselves to his choice, let
every boy make sure that he chooses
an occupation or business the pro-
duct of which is always useful, and
never harmful to society at large.

BRINGING UP A BOY By Charles w. Eliot

The right bringing up OF boy
needs on the part Of the father and
mother a constant. sympathetic stud,
pf the individual boys physical and
mental qualities, and of his tempera
ment or disposition. Sons Of the same
father and mother often exhibit grea,
variety and sometimes marked con.
trasts.
The inquiry into the boys nature
should reveal on the one hand his
natural excellences or gifts, and on
the other his natural defects. 1t is
much more important, however, to
find the deficiencies; for one gift
may be the making of him, while he
may get along very we'll through life
in spite of serious deficiencies.
Throughout the whole training of
a boy, attention should be chiefly
given to developing and increasing
his capacities, innate or acquired. In
giving directions to his studies, most
of his time should be given to stud
les he enjoys; and the same is true
of physical exercise.
If boy is self-willed and master
ful-highly promising quaities-it
is best to give him employments in
which he can develop these qualities
in a safe, productive way. Then he
will not develop them in mischie-
vious way. If on the other hand. a
yous way If on the other hand, a
tendency to weak compliance, it is of
the utmost Importance to train him in
deciding things for himself; for it is
the weak willed boy that is in danger
OF going astray when, by necessity,
he departs from the parents who
have been in the habit of deciding
everything for him.
"BREAKING" A CHILD'S WILL.
The most monstrous OF education
al dogmas is the insistance on break
ing" child's will and then training
him to implicit obedience. No great
er injury can be done a child than
this breaking" for the moral end
of education in family, school. and
life is not obedience but self-control.
