A BOY NEEDS HIS FATHER.
From Ed Howe's Monthly:

From Ed Howes Monthly:
We all talk of the influence of a good
mother on the life of her son; but a
good father is Of equal or greater i'm
portance. A father knows more OF the
real problems that will confront his
son; some Of the lessons instilled into
boys mind by his neither are too
sentimental, and he finds it necessary
to unlearn them.
! often think, with as much fairness
as ! can command, that had my father
taught me properly, ] might have
avoided some of the gravest mistakes
Of my life Much that | did not know
until | was thirty-much that | was
compelled to learn for myself, as the
result of humiliation and injury-he
might have taught me without much
trouble to himself He taught nothing
except religion; the simple ard import
of, and practiced few OF them. And
his conception Of religion was keeping
out of hell He had the false notion
that sin was alluring and pleasant, in
stead of the nasty thing it really is.
He used tobacco himself, but didn't tell
me the fclly of it; he let me believe
ii was a pleasure he denied me. And
Of course / learned the habit, and have
regretted it ever since. He was a good
natured man away from home, but
around the house he was a elum
avenger, and always had stick handy
for instant use. may have been worse
than other boys, but don't believe /
was.
If this should meet the eye of. 4
father of young boys, l hope he will
think over the necessity of directing
them in such way that they will
think of him gratefully and affection
ately in manhood BOYS do not object
to teaching if it is offered in the right
way. A thing greatly admire is real
