DIR. MORGAN TALKS
ABOUT THE BOY
Profound Bible Student DEM
onstrates That He Knows
Something of Human Nature.
Analyses the Boy and Tells
Ministers, Teachers and Pa
rents How to Handle Him.

Some one has said that he is a >ge-
MUS who can get line on a boy or
girl, analyze their disposition and
lay down a formula for their proper
direction. DR.. Morgan may miss the
mark sometimes when it comes to a
practical application, but judging
from his very interesting address last
evening, which is one of the most
valuable yet delivered, he not only
knows a great deal about human ma
ture and its development, but has
given the question most exhaustive
study and consideration.
His address was an analysis of the
temperament of the boy and his de-
velopment. He spoke to ministers
and Sunday school teachers regard
ing the responsibility of the child as
connected with the church, and the
duty of parents and teachers in the
home and the school.
Again DR.. Morgan turned to Pauls
letters to Timothy that his early
training had been of the right sort,
for from childhood he had been
taught the holy letters under the di-
rection of his mother, which are for
of God, through faith may be fur
nished unto all good works
DR.. Morgan referred to the con-
version OF people. To some it comes
suddenly, while to others it is almost
mperceptible. He was of the opin-
ion however that the properly train
ed child, brought up under the over
sight OF the Cody father and mother
from early youth would find the in
tiuence of the Christ with it all their
lives, and their. conversion would be
a mater of conformation, rather than
a revolution.
Quoting from the saying, Train
up a child in the way ne should go,
part therefrom'' was discussed at
length, to show that a translation
Of the original Greek means that the
child should be brought up in his
way. In other words since every
child is differently constituted, with
varying temperament and character
istics, the correct way for one child
Is not the right way for another, and
therefore the parent or teacher must
study their children. He said that
some desired to break the will of the
child and this should never be done,
for the spirit of a child should be
in the right way
The goal of all religion is the sal
vation of the SOUL declared the |
speaker, So the proper course is to
SO direct the child that this may be !,
the ultimate realization.
The first Sunday school conducted |
by Robert Raikes in Gloucestershire .
England was begun for the purpose |
Of getting the children off the street
ON Sunday, and teaching theim their
etters. Later was added stories OF |
the Christ, and from this the werld
vide Sunday school movement spread. /
The schools of England in the
years when DR.. Morgan was young
man were described. He said that |
the purpose in teaching during that .
period was to have the students able |
to answer questions correctly when
the Kings inspector came around,
for upon this depended the grading
of the school, the teacher, and the
of money the teacher receiv-,
ed. This plan has been done away
with since then, and now the purpose |
is to make what is taught to stick.
He was impressed with the wonder
,ul school system i'll this country but
was of the opinion that the English
are more thorough.
DR.. Morgan then went at length
into the disposition and tempera-
ment of the child. We only regret
that time and space will not permit
us to give as much attention to this
portion of his discourse as it de-
serves.
