PRACTICAL TRAINING
FOR THE YOUNG
4 4 4 4 4 4 &
Kncli Generation arbitrates, In largo
monsurp. the fate of tho ono following:
nnd there Is nlways un uninterrupted ,
nnd logical llnu of communication oe
twecn the two. The most obvious
link of connection between this gen
crntlon nnd the one coming Is our
army of boys and girls. They are to
be the men nnd women of the social,
political nnd religious future. Today
they make up our schools nnd Sunday
schools: they 1111 subordinate places In
our offices, banks, factories nnd work
Hhops; they arc selling papers on our
streets, shining boots nbout our hotels
und railroad stations; carrying mes
sages up town and down town: and,
we must In truth ndd this nlso, they
are to be found In large numbers
lounging about the doors of our thea
ters, saloons and places of question
able resort.
It Is for the normal development of
these children-taking them where and
how we nnd them that we, the ndult
generation of today, ate under bond".
Healthy environment for every boy
and girl" of tender age Is the flrst
lequlrement for noitnnl development.
To be sure healthy environment Is not
a chief Inheritance from the past, but
we have received pometblng else from
thence which tenches iis, It we are
wis j to lrnin, that to go on carelessly
leaving the child open to the rapidly
forming envlionment which Is not
healthy, means sad social and political
disaster further on.
Kor humanity's sake, then, child life
must be piotected, Inspired nnd sus
talntd: and U Improve on the earlier
and now inndequato methods, nnd to
nt once set some proper Influence at
work In directions where nothing at
all has yet been attempted, Is the defi
nite task each successive line of so
cial reformers has nt hand.
The boy at school or In employ may
be considered healthily environed:
that Is to say with brain profitably
exercised, nnd with hands worthily
employed, ho Is not, for the time be
ing, open to bnneful Influences. Hut
school and work, us a point of fact,
take up n small portion only of the
boy's time. It Is for the hours he Is
not In school, not nt the office, and
not crying his papers In the street
that some one Is bound to be anxious,
This danger time Is the evening hour
between supper and bed time. School
Is over, the day's work Is done, the
papers are nil sold. Nothing now to
10 but "have fun." Well, let him have
fun; that Is n boy's natural right,
nut how shall he have It? nnd where
whnll he have It? We, his guardians,
must answer. There are two ways
open to us. Wo may take this even
ing hour away from him entirely, ring
the curfew bell nt 7 o'clock instead of
at !, nnd shut him up at home or In
11 night school or other place of com
pulsory detainment: or we may allow
lilm to follow his will freely, roam the
street aimlessly, lurk In dark corners,
or crowd Into places of amusement
where false Ideals of life are alluring
ly presented.
In the flrst Instance ho ,wlll have
something npproachlng to healthful
surroundings, but there will be no fun
In It. In the second Instance there
will be fun enough nnd to spare, but
of health probably the very smallest
modicum.
Have we nny other .alternative?
Pun Is n boy's sunshlnp. Freedom
from too much restrnlnt Is his light
and nlr. He must have these In proper
proportions If he Is to develop nat
urally. Then again he needs society
"oclety suited to his tnste and habit:
because social intercourse sustains the
growth of the Individual. The social
faculty develops early In this day and
seneration. The kindergarten Intro
duces the child at three years of ago
to the big world by which he Is sur
rounded, "and from that time on he
Is never "out" of society. If the boy's
future welfare Is to be practlcnlly con
sidered then the kindergarten period
must be followed without break.
What we are to do, then. It seems
to ine, In meeting our responsibility to
the boy, Is not to curtail his pleasures,
not to rob him" of a single right which
be considers his own, not to take from
him something he cares for nnd force
upon him something else which he
does not enre for: but, rather, to tako
blm as wo And him: get Into his sym
pathies Instead of trying to draw him
Into ours: nnd then, with our Inrger
experience, help him to get even more
Pleasure out of life than ever before,
t nd that In a way that shall leave no
sting or smart behind, as too much of
hi" so-called pleasure now does.
And Just herein Is the province of
the Boys' club. Ah ono has truly said:
"The club follows the line of least re
mittance," and when "kept In the line
of common sense" will meet more of
the boys' natural demands than any
other prpsent day Institution. The
lub Is, In reality, the kindergarten
expanded and extended. It gives to
the boy of twelve and fourteen In
quality suited to his enlarged taste.s
mid higher development the same
mixture of amusement and instruc
tion, that tho kindergarten gives the
hllil of four nnd five. Thus the crav
ing for society of his own kind Is met
In the weekly soclnl hour and In the
common meeting ground which the
club in itself nffords. For his con
MruetlVG und destructive energies an
outlet Is furnished In the various In
dustrial clnsses usually attached to
boys' clubs. For excess of animal
spirits there Is the gymnasium. To
s'Ulsfy his instinct for martial spirit
nnd display, there Is the brigade drill
and occasional publlo appearances In
splendor of sword und flag and brass
buttoned uniform. Lastly, the aver
age boy has early Inclinations toward
politics. He Intends every boy does--to
hold publlo ofllce later on as he
now sees the leading men In his ward
doing. It Is no part of ours to seek
to prevent our boys In their own good
time from taking part In tho exercise
of government such an onlook, In
fact, should bo a worthy ambition for
any boy. There may, however, bo ob
jection to their taking such part In
the same way somo of their leading
ward men are doing today; and wo can
fulfill our duty In this respect by
showing them "a better way," To
ridicule existing conditions, to Warn
tho boy against them and thon leavo
him alone to evolve the better way
from his own experiences, will be
equivalent to folding tho hands and
expecting nothing better than we now
have.
No argument Is necessary to show
liow essential to tho advancement of
pa" vlvaa generation are honest and
4 4- 4 4 4
expert public ofllclals. Tho public ser
vice has become a profession of the
llrst rank. Why then Is not a system
of preparation Insisted upon for those
who Intend to follow this profession?
To begin nt tho lowest round of the
preparatory ladder the Boys' club
could be made most naturally to till
the role of the good government kin
dergarten. It Is already fostering and
directing other primary relations of
life; why should It not foster and di
rect that relation which Is certainly
econd In Importance to no other, the
rt'atlori of government and the gov
.viied. The problem confronting the
pood government kindergarten would
bo something like this: We must have
government ofllclals, good or bad. Tho
material for these ofllclals comes from
the same stock as our bankers, mer
chants, professional men and railroad
ofllclals. These latter, for tho most
part, are fitted for their places by a
course In practical training, beginning
back In childhood. Can rejlablo and
proficient government ofllclals be had
In nny other way?
The subject of training for the
young Is high and deep nnd wide. It
Is the call of tho writer of these lines
to denl with but one phase of the gen
oral subject, that pertaining to the
Boys' club. In a subsequent paper the
outline of an Ideal boys' club will bo
attempted. Lincoln 13. Brown.
