Show Keep Them Busy 1 The school term will soon, be over, and then the long vacation. What shall we do with our boys and girls during the summer months? This is the question that concerns many parents and ought to concern more parents than it does. Some may say. let the children alone and they will seek proper environments in natural course of events. But few parents will deny that tlie boys and girls ought to be kept busy. Whether busy at play or busy at work makes not so much difference so'long as the respective channels of activity are kept wholesome and free from degenerating influences. A proper mixture of work and play and of intellectual and physical phys-ical activity, administered with such mora! restraints as are conducive to increasing virtue will send the children back in the fall in good condition to take up the rigors of institutional life in tlie schools. |
