BILE wrong.

We grow morally stronger. Just as the
exercise OF our bodies strengthens us
physically. Lads who from childhood
have been saddled with proportionate

she expresses grief at this terrible hard

actually boast that they have coffee
brought to them in the early mornings
when they are awakened.
How sorry such men will be for them
selves when they face the hardships OF
training, and how much worse 1t will
seem than It would, had they been made
to rough It a bit more. II Is just as
necessary for children to be trained tc

them to have proper food and clothing.
