military advisers of the two govern

Spelling CHILDREN.

The president Of the Chicago Board
of Education is severe in his criticism
Of parents, of whom there seems to
be legion in that city who manifest
no discretion in the training of their
sors. The High schools are full, &C.
cording to this official of pampered
boys who wear wrist watches, think
only OF society life, its Ills and pleas
ures, and are carried to and from
their homes in iimousines with liver
led chautieurs at the wheel.
Only boys # exceptional qualities
can survive much of this sort of thing,
as myriads of parents have realized
bitterly and too late. over indul-
gence spols many a man and woman
in the making, who might if thrown
entirely on their own resources have
made worthy human products of them
selves.
The fact is not generally realized,
but 1T requires the cooperation of
TWO wise and loving parents to train
a child ny and bring out his latent
possibilities. Now ana then an unus-
ual father ana mother can do it, if
the child is somewhat above the av.
erage. But ordinarily if the father is
too occupied with business or away
most of the time, or if the mother is
too busy with her woman's interests
or too neglectful, or if either one OF
them is defective in head or heart, the
vain and silly girl, the selfish and vi
cious boy, the wild son or the way
ward daughter is the result. 1t is
commonly possible to estimate with
some approach to accuracy the mental
and moral development and discretion
Of parents by the appearance and be-
haviour of their children on the
streets.

HOME CIRCLE COL UMN.
WHAT BOYS THINK THEY
SHOULD LEARN.

According to the idea of many OF
the rising generation young man
should learn to lie, to firt, to cheat, to
swear, to drink, to play billiards, to
swagger in the streets, to live without
work, to ogle every pretty girl he
meets, to treat his elders with disre.
spect, to talk loud in the presence of
others, to put on style whether he can
afford it or not, to boast of the femi-
nine conquests he has made, to have
every slang term Ga his tongues end,
to gossip with his chums about his
lady acquaintances, to attract all the
attention to himself that he possibly
can, to talk like loafer and a fop in
stead of quiet, sensible man, TO call
his father "the old man" and his
mother "the old lady," to think lily
of every woman he sees and to speak
i'll of her evrey chance he gets, to turn
up his noise at those quiet, sober, in
duStrious young men who do not train
in his crowd, to treat his sister with
out any sort of regard, to treat her
like an Inbred loafer instead of like
a gentleman.
Here is your picture, fast young
man, true to life. Look at it. How do
you like it? What have these charac-
terstics made of you? What will they
do for you2 What has the future in
store for you? Unless you change
your course most radcally.-Ruin.

the BOY AND HIS MOTHER.

II II DO AN llD NV HEM
One Of our young men asks US the
following question:
"What do you think Of a young lady
while in the company Of a Dude mash
err, remarking of an old schoolmate of
hers, chat he is good boy but tied
to his mothers apron strings, and is
of no good on earth VIII not the
boy come out ahead If he supports his
cares for the mother?" Come out
ahead? Well, of course he will. A
girl who would make such a remark Is
not worthy TO blacken the shoes of u
boy who is kind to his old mother.
Such a girl has no more heart in her
than turnip, and is only. dt-oh, She
isn't fit for anything, She ought to
be taken across The knee of her own
mother until she thinks it is about the
middle of August. The most heart
less thing in the world is for a per.
son to make such remark as that
quoted above about young man who
is proud ci his mother, and loves her
SO that tear in her eye is like a
drop of melted lead on his heart The
young man who heard of such re-
mark being made about his relations
with his mother no doubt felt that he
had rather not have heard of the
remark, but it is lucky that he did, If
he thought he had any affection for
that girl. She would not have said it
In his hearing, which shows that she
is hypocrite and two.sldcd person.
II he married that girl he would have
a little hell Of his own. Such a girl
would make a man wish he had never
seen any woman except his own moth
er,
