Show What Boys Think He hear a great deal about the waywardness way-wardness of children of the present, but it occurred to a Chicago' minister to get the viewpoints of youngsers themselves, which he did from 175 boys through asking them to write freely their ideas on "What's wrong with the home?" Among the answers given by these boys, who ranged from 14 to 18 yeais of age, were the following; "A boy wants a mother who can keep a secret and no? tell the neigh-bos neigh-bos everything about him." "The girl's word is always taken and the boy's word is always doubted." "Home is a court room and every member of the family tries to take a hand in raising the boy." "Parents never admit it when they are wrong." "People who led the wildest lives before marriage are the strictest parents." par-ents." "Mothers try to hold other boys up as models too much." These are only a few of the answers, ans-wers, but they indicate that boys believe' be-lieve' there are a good many faults on the parents side, and perhaps that is true. |
