SomeTimes we parenTs are laTe To realize some OT The Things Transpiring beTore us, and all Too TreguenTly a shock is required To open our eyes. Wise parenTs should periodically ask Themselves:- ls our son doing as well as he should in his presenT school? ls he learning To Take on responsibiliTies? ls he becoming robusT and manly? Are his associaTes oT The besT? Do we Thoroughly undersTand his problems and needs: do we have his confidence and know how he uses his leisure Time? ln school does he sTudy properly? ls any conTrol exercised over his spare Time and his associaTes? Are his Teachers men who undersTand boy naTure and sympaTheTically assisT him in his sTudies and in adiusTmenT To school liTe, or is he under women who Tind iT impossible To undersTand him in his school work?
