LIGHTHOUSES OF

Growing Boy

Selected
The three lighthouses of a boys
character are found in
How he uses his hands, what he
does with his eyes, what controls
his brains.
Doctor Pelton, an Englishman
who has given much study as to the
causes that make human beings USE
full or incompetent, says that,
whether they be rich or poor, nine
boys out of ten, between the age of
ten years and fifteen years. will
show by what use they make Of their
hands, eyes and brains, about what
their future is to be-"
He also adds, since he was talk
ing to BOYS:

would urge you not to miss the
importance of the five years between
ten and fifteen. In the develop
ment of your body and brain they
are really. in my judgment, the five
most important years in your life" !"
One of the best professional men
/ krow taught himself, when young,
all the parts of steam engine. 1t
wasn't his intention to become an
engineer, but the practice with the
toy engine gave him useful hand
training.
For years the knowledge lay DOR

in technical case, his knowledge
of steam engine was challenged.

was his reply. but l can handle it. :"
He was put to test, and although
his hands had lost some of the cum
ming Of early youth, he demonstrated
that he knew what he was talking
about.
That knowledge brought him his
present position, which is worth to
him not penny less than ten thous-
and dollars year.
In modelling clay. fashioning brick,
carving wood, setting up and taking
down small mechanisms, book

strlnged instrument playing. there
is a splendid technical training of
hands that time and time again will
prove invaluable in after life.
One of the easiest tests with which
a boy may learn how unframed his
hands are. is for him to attempt TO

mother test is the correct wrapping
of a bundle. Many and many a
boy cannot DO that, because he has
allowed his fingers to become clumsy
Book knowledge is a good thing
to have, but, if that is all a boy
possesses. then he is one sided.
One side of his nature, represe nted

say of the hands and their supports,
the arms, that when they are train
ed, they perform five times as much
work as the legs, and boy whose
brain works with trained hands, is
many times more valuable than the
boy who has only brains.
Three boys applied to me for a
position. Before their comiug 1

To each boy / said:

Each boy was allowed a full

then cent out of the room. The

seven. / chose the second boy for
the position, and / have had no
reason to regret it. He demonstrated
to me in the beginning that he had
cultivated the power of observation,
and l needed a boy at my elbow
who was quick to see things.
A boy with a quick-seeing power
is very apt to have good memory.
Because he looks at things with a
purpose. they make lasting i'm
preston upon his mind. 1t was
necessary for this boy that engaged
to prove one time that was out of
my Office at a given hour. He did
so in this way:
You left at 1905, because I al
ways look at the clock when you
go out or come in. I'm in charge
Of the Office, and you told me to
note when people went out or came
in. 1t was raining that day, and
you put on your black hat. You
never wear black hat when the
sun shines. You carried package
of bank papers in your hand, the
outside of the package was marked
Merchants Loan and Trust"
That a boy should remember
everything he sees would be foolish,
for much that passes before the eye
is trivial to note, but by cultivat-
ing the habit of observation the eye
gradually acquires a knack of re-
jecting useless things and passing
only to the record of the brain that
which is worthy of keeping.
Close observation is a splendid
developer Of memory. A school boy
in whom I take considerable interest
can walk by half dozen people on
the street, and, when they are gone.
accurately describe their clothes and
facial appearance. He does not i'm
pertinently stare at people, but he
has educated his eyes to take in and
register objects, and his memory is
almost infallible.
In the third lighthouse is to be
found that which controls the brain.
do not find that clever brains,
smart brains. quick working brains
are of great value in boy if self
control is lacking.
The hands may be trained, the eye
acute in perceiving, the brain satu-
rated with knowledge, but if the
element of self-control is lacking a
fine piece of machinery has been
constructed from which the most
important part the throttle-has
been left out.
Some years ago. through force of
circumstances quite young lad was
compelled to become a shoveller of
ashes in a pit of large office build
ing.
The work is obscure, hot, dirty.
But this boy stood to it, and as the
weeks passed. stokers and engineers
about him began to notice that no
matter how bad his surroundings
were, this boy had one rule of con-
duct for himself.
Others might smoke, swear, sur
reptitiously smuggle in liquor, be
late in reporting to duty. or careless
in work. but to Billie that made no
differ ence. He had his own line of
conduct marked out for himself and
he held to it. One day, much to his
own surprise. an oilers job was of
fered him. He accepted. Latter he
became an assistant engineer, then
engineer. Still later the owners
of the building called him out of the
pit and asked him to manage it for
them. He took off his greasy over
rails and dressed like a business
man. He knew that building from
top to bottom, and he was master of
himself. Where others yielded to
temptation. he fought it and the
world steadily noticed the fighting
and conqueriDg.
That won him his success, and
