Parents who allow fthcne-clves to

affairs, that they have no lime to de
relop the mental, phy ieal and moral
growth of their boy are laying up t" 1
him future trouble. The bov should

pa s word into the ear of the door

ami privi lc.es of the society. So, the
hoy. when going out among the un
known, whispers the wortl “father”
to hi fellow no a and receives tin*
good graces of all who knew ills fath
er and his great worth to humanity.
Therefore, the father should spur,- no
n'-rlfiees to make a name for ids
hoy These are -mnr of tla* character
istics of tile home. Now let us con
sider the school.
The -i bool is 111 ■ next step to de
velop tin* manly virtue in tin* hoy. It
is second iii importance to Hie home,
and its iraining should la* so closely
allied with the hoy's previous train
ing. Hint tin* gradation would la* ini
pi lei plaide Of course, ill 111 * school,
I lie hoy's vision is to he enlarged and
brought in touch with the hoys (rout
different homes, still the same plans
of expansion should he tin* main aim
of (la* teacher. The authority of lilt*
teachei should never conflict with
that ol the home, hut should always
i iiii in parallel lilies. The temilier
must remember that the hoy when lie
liters her domain conies as tin* jewel
from some little kingdom over the way
whose rulers are sending her their
best wishes and highest greetings, and
hoping I hat their little dti'/en will re
ceive her best care and safe keeping-
Any disappointment injures tin* boy
infinitely more than it does file par
ents or Hie teacher.
Reciprocation on the part of tin*
(earlier should la* tin* chief attribute
in the character of the hoy and not to
exlmll her elf. I.et her exert all her
power, hoth individually and collec
tively, to mold into tin* heart of the
hoy a spirit of love and friendship.
If the teacher will cultivate this
habit- she will be blessed with a peace
ful conscience, void of offense to her
fellow men, and will have messengers
going daily from home to home in
pi aises to her memory.
The easiest road to Hie hearts of
parents is hy ’way of their hoy. If
Hie boy loves his teacher his parents
love her, too, and if lie hates her they
will hale her, regardless fo her qualifi
cations.,
let the parents and Hie tea slier co
operate in every way possible to ole
vat tin* boy to tlo* top most round of
, human usefulness and lie will be a
| blessing to parents, teachers and his
i onntry. and generations unborn will
rise to sing their praises.
