CAMERdW CO frffTV PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1901.
I he Boy Problem.
The problem of making men out of
boys is a very serious one. Everybody
has a theory, and nine times out often
none of them work. It is easy enough
to see exactly how you would proceed
to make a man out of somebody else'»
boy, but it is different with your own
recalcitrant offspring.
When a son is born to a proud father
be builds all sorts of air castles about
bim. He resolves to bringthat boy up
exactly as a boy ought to be reared,
and makes a solemn vow that he will
give some of the older fathers, whose
sons were a disappointment, some val
uable pointers about the bringing up
of a child in the way he should go. He
will fertilize and polish and stimulate
that boy's mind so that he will be an
epoch-maker. Ho will instill into him
such wholesome precepts that he will
never be a prey to the follies of youth.
He will make a man of him of whom
his day and generation shall be proud.
He will be exactly the sort of man his
father imagines he himself would have
been if he had had a half a chance.
But alas!
The boy is impervious to the voice of
wisdom. He is without industry. He
hates school, and braces himself like a
balky mule against instruction. He
wasts a dozen years pretending to be
going to school, when he is only going
to the school house. At the end of
that time he is merely a big vegetable.
Ho has no ambition except to eat pie
and fish for suckers. Workr The very
name gives him a spasm. He is a wild
horse that has never known bit or brid
al, saddle or harness. He is a big slob
who has made up his mind that it is his
duty to live upon the industry of a
proud and happy father, who predicted
such great things for him!
What is to be done with such a boy ?
You cannot send him to college, even
if you can afford it, because he is not
qualified to enter. Send him away to
preparatory school and he will waste
his own time and your money.
What is to be done with the boy ?
Break his back, you would suggest in
the case of somebody else's boy. But
if he is your own boy, what then ?
About the only thing is to turn him
loose and let him hunt his own living.
If that does not awaken him to a sense
of his eminent worthlessneas nothing
will. That is the only hope. If he has
to depend upon his own resources he
will naturally want to improve those
resources. As soon as he becomes self
dependent, and has been aroused to
the necessity of industry, he will begin
to develop what is in him. And then
it all depends upon what there is in
him. He may develop into a good
and forceful man, or he may drag out
the lengths of his days in shiftless and
brainless indifference.
The boy problem must solve itself.
You cannot predict. You must wait.
But the chances are he will turn out all
right.—W. O. Smith in Punxsutawney
Spirit.

Letter to R. S eger & Son.
Emporium, Pa.
DEAR SlUS:—When you see a well
dressed man, you like to say: "There's
a sample of my clothes. That man is
worth two of himself as he was when
he came to me."
We have the same feeling. Our
paint on your house is worth twice as
much as old-fashion painter's paint,
lead and oil. It looks the same when
first put on. In three months it don't.
In three years it decidedly don't.
Lead and oil chalks off.in three years.
It is considered a first-rate job thai)
lasts three years.
Devoe lead and zinc is about as good
in three years as it was the day the
painter left it.
Zinc is the secret of it; no secret at
all. A good many painters know zinc;
some mix it in with their lead. We
grind it in;not a little; good deal.
It's the zinc and grinding that does
it. You can't mix zinc by hand. We
grind it by machinery.
Painters are finding us out, though
some painters are slow.
You know it pays a man to wear
good clothes. How many customers
have you that know it?
Yours truly,
