fathers study both to assure himself
that these give the boys what they,
need.
Emphasis was placed upon the OBJ
servation that Americans need most
to learn how to play. He urged that
fathers learn how to play with their
boys, go swimming and on hikes with
them and make themselves compan
ions.
A. diversion was provided by ]. G.
Rawl, a new member of the chamber,
who gave program of juggling and
other like entertainment. He had with
it line of 'patter" that was as anus
ing and dverting as the tricks he put
over.
Kenneth Martin, another High
school boy, talked on "Father and
Son Relationship. "Most boys are
proud of their fathers" he observed.
But there is a tendency to grow apart,
developing when the son thinks he de.
tects a changed attitude in his father.
The causes he ascribed to a certain
reserve acting as a barrier between
them, and to lack of association be-
tween father and son. The boy owes
to his father respect.
Harrison Greer, third Of the repre-.
sentatives of the High school to
speak, spoke on "The Opportunity Mt
Vernon Offers to Her Young Men" He
took note that all are proud Of Mt
Vernon because of her natural beauty
and her civic spirit. But the boys
leave. Why? Looking at the problem
through the eyes of a High school boy
he briefly enumerated reasons that
seem to be sufficient. He asked his
auditors to approach this problem
from the viewpoint of High school
boy and seek a solution.
