TRAINING OF BOYS
TO MEET TEMPTATIONS OF THE WORLD SCHOOLMASTER’S ADVICE London, April 22. A delegate to the Schoolmasters’ Conference deplored that ten out of seventeen boys in his class admitted having sweepstake tickets in their lockers. He urged that school children should be given better training to meet the temptations of the world. Instead of sending boys out to work when they ’ reached the age of fourteen, it would be better to pay them a honorarium to stay at school longer. This would be a wiser investment than paring unemployment doles. The present system was creating a generation with a hang-dog look; with resentment in its heart, and with its eyes, always cast down ■ searching for cigarette butts. Sydney “Sun” Cable.
