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. L2OOAL~NOTICES. A good building lot on Fifth street, for sale.
