soundly whenever Mother reports that
he has brought home school grade
card with low mark or failure on it.
Very we'll. Perhaps the boy needs
your jawing, perhaps not. But when
you get through with him, please call
him and Mother in and have them fill
out card for you on the following
points:
l. Number of nights per week
home with the family.
?. Take family to the movies with
reasonable frequency.
3. Attendance at church services.
4. Take the boy on an occasional
hike.
5. Abstinence from liquor and to-
bacco
6. Interest in the boys hobby or
| ayocation.
I. Attention to the boys schooling
| and lesson preparation.
8. Teach your son respect for the
integrity of good people.
g. Teach your son saving and thrift.
TO- Parental example of patriotism
Grade each point on scale of 100
and figure the average. Below 10 is a
failure. The score card for'fathers is
prepared with view to testing their
efficiency merely as guides and exam
piles for their growing sons, and not in
any more general way.
10 marking number one allow Fla
ther Sunday night for church if he
goes, and one night out at the club or
Lodge, but hold him the other five.
Grade well upon number tive if he
tries faithfully to see that his hoy enjoys
abont one good, clean motion picture
entertainment per week.
One faithful regular church atten
dance per week should constitute a
passing grade, while two such would
be perfect.
Father may not be in position per
sonaily to go on many outings with
his son, but give MIN about 81 per cent
If he seriously plans for the bow to re
ceive the benefits of the hikes under
competent leadership.
If Father requires his boy to abstain
faithfully from liquor and tobacco
then grade him down GU these points
with cold hearted justice, If he in
dulges in them.
Every boy has a right to hobby Of
bis own and should be helped by father
in the enjoyment OF it.
A little Timely assistance with the
boys most difficult school lessons and a
frequent admonition as to show how to
get along with the teacher and the fell.
low pupils is reasonable standard for
point seven.
Through casual remarks, occasional
admonitions and his other personal at.
titnde regarding the matter, the busy
father may teach his boy the habit of
respect for the virtues Of ordinary men
and women. 1t pays in every sense Of
the word for us parents to hold fav-
orable opinion of the common run of
citizens about us, and il is our obliga-
tion to teach this same optimism to our
children.
Not so much the amount OF money
Father earns but his manner Of using
it will be emphasized here. Is he
merely scolding his boy for being a
spendthrift and proAigate, or has he a
working plan Of thrift which he both
eXemplifies in his own life and makes
both applicable to the training of his
son.-Dr. w. a. McKeever, Uni
