Where is Your Boy Tonight?
After the alludes of evening have
fallen and the stilly night has
covered the world with her mantle
of darkness, how many parents
could a:.B\ver this question,
“Where is your boy tonight."
Some parents could answer,
some think that they could, but
the vast majority could only haz
ard a guess.
The graveyards contain the dust
and hell the souls of many boys
who would have made useful citi
zens if their parents had exercised
more care and kept them in reach
at night.
The jails and penitentiury con
tain broken and ruined men who,
if they had been properly trained
and properly supervised in the
formative period of their exist
ence, would now fco honored men
instead of disgraced slaves.
It is nothing short of criminal
for parents to allow their children
to roftip the Streets at night and to
be always gadding about the busi
ness section in the day time.
They cannot expect to raise up
true and honorable men when
ttare is no espionage of the boys.
There are many criminals who
can testify to the truth of the
statement that the neglect of their
parents caused their ruin.
Hereditary taint may be traced
in many of those who wear the
shackles, but environment has
more to do with shaping the lives
of those who become criminal in
their tendencies than bad blood .
The boy who is not kept under
restraint, who is always allowed
the freedom of the street, who
chooses his own company, who
oftentimes hears the vilest of lan
guage and associates with the vil
est of companions will come to
grief surely. If he does not it will
be nothing short of miraculous.
Some wise man has said that all
people are born with a depraved
nature and that training and care
ful training at that is needed to
run out the evil and allow the good
to predominate.
If this statement is true, how
much more important it is that
there should be a more rigid
supervision of the boys of the
land.
The hope of the country is in
posterity. The world must grow
better instead of worse. Parents
who do not try to make better men
and women of their children than
they are fail to measure up to the
responsibility imposed upon them
when they were allowed to have
children.
The parents who leave the rear
ing of their boys to chance, who
see them only at mealtime, who
prefer that they roam the streets
rather than to remain at home and
disturb them with noise; who ask
noquestiens concerning the length
of the stay or the place visited ;
who delude themselves with the
idea that their boy can do no harm
peed not be lie surprised at any
time to find that instead of an up
right citizen being given to the
world, a depraved und degenerate
wretch is the result.—Dublin
Courier Dispatch.
