WANTED: A BOY TO
READ THIS TALK
By George Matthew Adams.
1 like boys, because it wasn’t so very
long ago that 1 was a boy. It seems
only yesterday. But of course it wasn’t
— it was quite a bit ago! And now I
have t wo boys of my own—twins. We
are pals. We hunt Indians and bears
together. Now then, to you whom 1
huvo never seen:
More than any other time in tho his
tory of the world the future of civili
zation depends upon what sort of nun
you are going to bo. You see civiliza
tion itself has broken down in great
spots, and in every instance it must
be mended. It is going to take a long
timo. Long after I am gone this pro
cess will be taking placn. You, my
boy, will be in the thick of tho tight.
Therefore, get ready.
It is highly necessary that you train
your mind in tho most thorough fash ■
ion by getting all possible out of your
school days. Go in for all sorts of ath
leties, so long as they do not interfere
with your studies.
Get into the reading of history as
soon as possible and keep it up until you
have a clear idea of wlmt has happen
ed in the world sineo folks began to
think and do things. To stimulate your
imagination, read all tho good fletion,
too, for which you liavo timo.
Keep your mind clean. Be straight
forward and square in all your dealings
with the other fellows. Be a real “good
scout” in every sense of the word.
Keep your body in trim by regular
exercise every day. Fortify your fu
lure health by eating slowly and chew
ing your food well.
Study the out-of-doors. Learn the
names of the different animals, birds,
plants and trees. In later life, this
knowledge will give you many a thrill.
Read about suco.osful men and wo
melt. You will lo#rn that the most
successful ones have always been those
who went through the bitterest strug
gles.
Never give up an enterprise that you
feel you can complete. Keep at A
11. rough thick ami thin, no matter what
other people may say.
lie kind and thoughtful to old poo
pie. Always respect women. Bear in
mind nil the suffering and sacrifice on
diirod for you by your mother. Win
something big for her.
Take this ns your motto: 1
Do this and you will never fail.
Good luck to you, my boy.
