A day's romp and swim with a boy who is con sidered beyond control by his young that makes it. These many playthings, requiring neither effort nor sacrifice in the getting or in the using, tend to weaken the character of the child rather than to strengthen it. It will be argued that the child, in using these wonderful toys, is learning many things that will be of use in after life. Granted, but it is intellectual develop ment that is going on, not character building.

Such a meth od produces a false idea of culture and totally unfits the youth for such work as he could successfully carry out. "It will, of course, be said that ail the high schools have male teachers. But these teachers seldom, if ever, have anything of a personal or social relation with the boys. They are book i instructors purely, the last thing a boy, j needs in his development. "From the condition of things it is - o ' difficult to get the proper sort of male teacners in a nign scn';oi auenueu Dy young women and a few unfortunate boys. Ih'i young male teacher whose surroundings are marked by female boundaries soon finds himself in em barrassing fields. He cannot possibly talk to the boys as he wtu d like to do: A man under such ciicu nstances be comes disgusted and looks for his proper place among boys whose mental atti tude and physical desires he can appreci ate and mingle with. It is for these rea sons that the high school seldom has a male teacher that makes any impression upon the real boy. 'Ah, gee! he's an old sissy,' I heard a boy remark a short time ago when questioning some lads about their male teacher. "The story of misfits, of uselcssness from want of development of the in herent productive powers, is repeated to me hundreds of times a year. I have seen such pitiable wrecks, mental and Not Superstitious, but- Walter Propst was in Omaha recent ly getting some dental work done, and during the proceedings the tooth artist casually remarked that shortly before the death of John P. Thacker he had had the pleasure of doing some dental work for him. Also that he had done some work for Tom G. Barnum shortly i before the ill-fated wreck in which that ! gentleman lost his life. While Mr. I Propst disclaims being in the least su I perstitious, he admitted that the recital : made him just a little "creepy," and he j felt greatly relieved when he arrived j home without any mishap. luxuriously clothed so that he cannot engage in the strenuous play, many times half work, which served to de velop the strength, ingenuity and man hood of the child of a generation ago. Neither does he have any regular task for which he is held responsible and which serves to develop a sturdy re liability that will stand undaunted be fore temptation. "As tor the second point, modern parents do not 'bring up' their chil dren. They simply provide them a home, with few or many luxuries as the case may be, and indulge them in ordinately. They must not be reproved either at home or at school. If cor rected at all it is in an indefinite, nerve less way, even for repeated offences; hence the correction is worse than inef fectual, it is harmful. They receive no incidental or deliberate home training which fits them for life and its oppor tunities, which develops a fortitude that makes them masters over destiny and eventually men in the highest, best sense of the world. The strong, sensi ble, firm yet gentle mother will guide the dhild so wisely and so well that the home influences will be ever dominant, and no teacher in contact with him for a few hours five times a week can pre vail over that influence. Then, too, the authority of the parent is always final in the mind of the child, and, let the teacher urge ever so eloquently, she cannot change the idea impressul upon the mind from infancy, that father and mother are supreme. This is right, and the parent who really thinks of the welfare of the child and trains him fcr the future is not the one who makes the poor woman teacher the scapegoat for all his sins of omission. "The fact remains that women teachers are and must of necessity be in the majority for many years to f Wise talks by the office boy p Some one sent the boss a bunch of books en titled, "Business Nuggets," "The Road to Suc cess," "The Man in Front" and such like, 1 think he's been looking them over, for when I came to work this morning he handed me this: Every thing comes to those that wait, and the lazy boy waits to greet it; but success comes on with a rapid gait, to the man that goes to meet it." I had to laugh, because he's the boss; but to tell you the honest truth, a boy on this job doesn't get any chance to apply thess wise hunches. Actually it's no credit for a fellow to be industrioua here, because he cant be anything else. If he lets up for an hour he wouldn't get his orders out and then there would be people coming in anil saying lots of fierce things, but nothing about "business success" or the "lazy boy waits to greet it.''
