But my son has begun to skip school, will not read or study, and wants to go out every night. All he will do is for me he refuses. I have to wait on him, pick up his clothes. He lies in bed until the last minute before he goes to school. I have tried kind- m a good whipping? It is biblical not to spare the rod. Erret * oL e MRS. W. J. P. Answer: You are 17 years too late now in teaching your boy obedience. You have to do that-in the cradle, and any spanking that has to be done has to be performed while a child is too littls to under- stand the why of things and has to be taught by fear of punishment not to do certain things. . e BUT perhaps the situaticn is not as bad as you think Itis. From what vou write I should judge that your is only going through the usual experiences of addlescence, and that you are not making enough allowances for his time of life. The hobbls-dehoy period, when a child is neither man nor boy, is always one of great strain between him and his parents, and this is particularly the case when the only parent is a widowed mother who finds herself utterly incompetent to deal with a headstrong youngster. You see, all mothers want their boys to be plaster saints, and you are like the Test. You want your boy to be neat and clean and orderly, to be teacher’s pet at school and studious at home. You want him to be eager for an education and ambitious about going to college and to prefer to spend his evenings at home with you to running around with other boys. And you are terribly disappointed because he is just a boy, because he is sleepy-headed in the mornings and considers going to school a penance, and he throws his things about and leaves the bath room looking as though a waterspout had passed over it. Well, he is just exactly like millions of other boys who have grown up into fine citizens and the prop and stay of our country. TRTUALLY all boys are like that at 17. They hate to work around home. They resent authority. They are irritable and impudent and apparently haven't any decent natural emotions in them so far as their parents are concerned. And there is nothing that their mothers can do but_just to keep hands off as much as they can, and use as much tact in dealing with them as a diplomat does in settling the national debt question, and to just hope and wait and pray for these years between 17 and 21 to pass and for the boy to grow up to be a man who will love his mother for all she hasn't done to him, and the wisdom she used in not asking him questions and treating him like a baby in leading strings. You say your son likes to work. That will be his salvation. As soon as he finishes high school, let him get a job that interests him. There is ‘hope for every industrious person. They seldom go far wrong. BUT one thing I do urge upon you and that is not to waste your husband's insurince money in sending a boy like that to college. Keep that for yourself to live on and perhaps lend him a helping hand some time when BY FANNY Y. CORY.

I think there is nothin; more tragic than the amount of money that is wasted in sending boys an girls to college who are not college material, who have no real desire for an education, no real interest in books, but who only go in order to have a grand four-year spree, or because they think it is the thing to do, or because their foolish parents are under the delusion that they are somehow giving them advantages in teaching them to be loafers and to put off going to work as long as possible. ‘oo* WHOLE w"ur If you’re tired of getting less for your money . .. even at prevailing lower prices . . . look at name tags as well as price tags.
