BOY SEEKS MAN
TO MOULDLIFE
Want The Right Kind.
of Models Says X. c.
Leader At Stevens.
Point
(By the United Press)

by the design of God there is a
particular time in u boys life when
he seeks a man upon whom to
mould his character, and it is our
task to get the right kind Of men
to serve as such models" Brother
Bamabas. ESQ, executive sec
rotary Of the Boy Life Bureau
Knights of Columbus, told the dele
gates at Stevens Point today at
tending the annual state conyen~
ton of the order.
IN his address, Brother Barna
has stressed Boy Scouting as the
best program for the younger boys
and as feeler- among Catholic
boys for the Columbian squires,
Between the ages of II and IS
is the most important period of the
boys life" he declared. 1T is then
his ideals are acquired his char
acter formed In these years he
needs an ideal. Psychologists tell
MS that the vital influence of our
lives is not what is preached, nor
what is taught, but the human in
rluencc, the personal reaction"
Every boy needs hero to wor
ship" according to Brother Barn
abas. pity the boy whose hero is
the professional pugilist and the
hootlegger, At this time Of life,
the boy begins to need the friend
ship Of a man. That his home
does not supply this need, that his
school fails him. and that his
church cannot meet his needs does
not change his nature Compan~
ionship he must have, and he gets
it where he can in the street or
in the alley"
Declaring that recreational lead
ership is still at its beginning, the
speaker asked if there should be
demanded lower qualifications of
those who are going to form the
character Of American boyhood
than is asked of the man who fills
teeth, or observes the nations for
ests.
