"A thousand times have re-

1t was too late to go back"
Parents, what can be done to
keep your boy from making this
imagined break for liberty? The
foregoing is a sort Of "Lamenta-
ton" of man who Is a lifelong
victim of a bad adjustment to his
early schooling. There are droves
of such boys in school today.
Their custom is to quit as soon
as restrictions will allow. After
that, education tends to become
mechanical. They become victims
of the modern machinery Of
business and labor.
Now, l believe that certain
definite things can be done to
keep your boy (or girD in school.
n the teacher or principal will
join you. you can most certainly
win out and keep your child in
the classroom where he belongs.
First. start with the theory of
keeping your boys mind and heart
in school. You have worked on a
system Of merely forcing his
body to attend. But IL the mind
is willing or desires to go. 1t will
take the body along.
Now, continue with the idea Of
making your boy happy at school
and because Of the school.
Be patient with his hard"
studies and be Satisfied to have
him make q mere grade In those
he most dislikes.
Find out what he most likes at
school and help him get more of
that. IL II is some kind Of fun or
