But this group OF facts is only part

circles deliberately, wifully and per-

THE NAN WHO HAS A
BOY TO TRAIN
BY Edgar A. Gsess

The man who has a boy to train.
Has work 10 keep him night and day.
There much TO him he must explain.
And many a doubt to clear away;
His task is one which calls for tact
And friendship OF the finest kind,
Because. with every word and act,
He molds the little fellows mind.
He must be careful OF his speech,
For careless words are quickly
learned;
He must be wise enough to teach
What corners may be safely turned.
He should know just what books TO
read
And every game that's good to play,
He must himself be fit to lead,
And all the laws he must obey.
The man who has a boy 10 train,
Must thoughtful be 10 counsel well !;
Without example. speech is vain
And II is not enough to tell
Those youthful ears the way to go.
For little eyes are quick 10 see
And very soon they come to know
If you are what you'd have him be.
ii is nc light and simple task,
A man must know so many things
To answer questions he will ask.
And yet what JOY the duty bringsl
To walk with him from day to day
And all the ways of men explain,
He has rich comradeship for pay
Who has a little boy to train.
