Poor little chap! He had lost

Then there is the boy who as
sociates with other boys whom he

tinue an association of this kind
without losing character. He can.
not associate with them without
doing the things they do. Their
ideals are always low, and their
standards will in time become the
standards of those who associate
with them. The boy who associ-
ates with evil-minded boys is sure
to be loser. He loses something
by being seen in the company of
such boys, even though he may
not be bad boy himself. The

that he does not disapprove of

in the past by comrades, but old age
with attending inhrmities will prevent
nearly all the comrades doing the low

has been so devotcdly done for one
