What to Teach Boys
To bo true to bo gonuiuo. No
education is worth anything that
does not iueludo this. A man bad
better nut kuow how to read, lie
had better never learn a lellrr in
tho alphabet, tin 1 ho truo aud gon
uiuo in intention mid in action,
rather than 'being learned in nil wi
euccs oil luliguagiii, to bo nt the
a uno tiiuo false in heart r.tid conn-
tuifeit in lifo. Above nil things,
teach tho boys that truth is more
than riches, more than c itturo, mote
than earthly p wer or position. To
bu pure in thought, liugnago
and life pitro in nun I and body.
