I'd like to tell briefly the story of McMinn with the hope that it might help some other boy or act as a deterrent of some indulgent parent who is tempted to make life too easy for his child. Iwe Just come from talking to McMinn, and I feel pretty low In spirits for there wasn't real ly very much that one could say to him. He seems to have played most of his ecards and lost. McMinn has never done anything that he found unpleasant or difficult. His father is rather a preoccupied business man who lives in one of the suburbs of a great city and who goes off in the morning usually before the boy is up, and who comes home at night tired and too much taken up with other things to give the boy much attention. Mother hag had the direction of the boy, and she is so fond of him that whatever he shows a desire for she gets him immediately, for there has never been any need of economy In the McMinn family and no tendency toward practicing it. McMinn has never. shown any pag. ticular interest in study, He was sent to a boys’ private school at first, but he did not do well there, and so was transferred to the publie school where he finally made the grade to enter high school. His preparatory school record wns rather a hectic one. He had all sorts of experience—loenl high school, two or three high-grade pre- paratory schools in New England, and SURELY! 1 BELIEVE THAT, JUDGING BY THE COMPANY HE YBEPS then back In high school again to graduate two years later than the av- erage boy does, and even then with only a mediocre record. And then McMinn came to college. He had really never studied any: he found no joy or satisfaction In study. He was warned, but he paid no atten. tion to the warning, and, of course, he has failed hopelessly, What Is he to do? he asks me. He has no background, no preparation for college work, no idea of what it is all about. ' He would make out sadly at manual labor, He would have a hard time to get a job unless he got it through his father's influgnce, and he has developed habits which it will take him years to break if he ever succeeds in doing so, (©. 1932, Wentorn Newspaper Ualon ) How easy it & for one benevolent be- ing to diffuse pleas- ure around him, and how truly is a kind heart a fountain of gladness making everything in its vicinity to freshen into smiles.
