First of all, and most important, is religious in- fluence early in life. * If you men have sons or daughters, it is your foremost duty to make the child know a God, recognize a God and not be ashamed to acknowledge a God. Then we must create mental stability. Jt is our duty to make a good Boy Scout or a good Boys' club member out of what would ordi- narily turn out to be & good crap oter. 1 also favor physical perfection along the lines of mass participation instead of group participation and mass audiences. I am not a believer in Yale bowls or Palmer stadiums. A glance through history will prove that nations began to tumble when people began letting other people do their exercises for them—the Coliseum and the Parthenon for in- stance. I think there is an _ominous danger in the plenitude of massive stadiums which are located in this country today. ¢ “I don’t believe in coddling boys. Constructive recreation must be given the boys to make them do things worth while. That is where we in New Haven point out the Boys Week i{dea. In that city the boys have separate days concentrated on the emphasis of a certain feature. ‘We ‘have the church.day, we have the home day, we have the indus- try day, we have the entertainment day, the athletic day, the loyalty day dnd the citizenship day. In each the results? It brings the boy and the older man infinitely closer to- gether.
