LETTING OFF STEAM.

Another good thing and worthy OF
all commentator is the formation of
debating society known as the
boys forum. whore youths who
have not the advantage of college
training can meet and discuss with
discreet leaders the problems which
every live boy is eager TO solve. If
rightly maintained and conducted
this institution Is fun of promise for
the betermcnt of the boys of Tulsa.
II is different from sitting out a cold
dry lecture, or being compelled to
submit To a moral and intellectual
calling on the carpet. a process which
so many have used In the attempt to
redeem boyhood. This new method
gives the boy a feeling of personal
proprictorship and participation that
he Is not slow In responding To. 1t is
departure from the old worn out
gospel of don't" and an infusion of
the gospel of do. That Is a con-
dition that appeals to every live boy.
He is oagor to learn. when the learn
ing does not involve loss of his am
bition and self-rospcct. ns too many
former methods of discipline did
There Is certain amount of latent
energy In the constitution of every
hoy who is not an invalid. and this
energy demands an outlet. 1t Is not
natural for boys to be bad They do
al
is only the natural virility seeking an
outlet Tho chief reason why they
get credit for so much mcanness is
because they are left unguidcd to
seek out their own method of ex-
preston, ana because OF thte they
eXpend their energy on Destructive
ness because nobody has shown them
the joy of being constructive. A
great many look upon the boy as a
natural barbarian that must be sup
pressed, with the result that suppress
sion only aggravatcs the popping off
OF the human safety valve. one lady
who said her sweet little son was
mischioVous was rehuked 10y writer
who informed her that his annoy

energy which. turned gently into right
channels, would make him the bet
ter and nohler man. Were it possible

would have later u race OF men with
out either physical or moral stamina.
