The Great
Sorrow Of A
Little Hoy
I Times have changed. The last two weeks of vacation was
a sad period a 'generation ago. The shadow of the school
house .darkened each day. Now we actually know boys who
look forward to the opening of school.
) The Graf Zeppelin's 'round-the-world cruise seems assured
n successful ending. From Los Angeles to Lakehtirst is the
easiest hop. This morning the Graf completed the most
difficult and did it grandly. The first non-stop flight from
Japan to the United States has been realized. He fore long
they will bo commonplace, but the German bag and her
competent commander will go down in history as the trail
blazers for practical trans-ocean travel.
Yesterday we observed a father load his car full of boys
and drive away. Two of the boys were his own, and there
were two or three boys from the neighborhood. Swimming
suits were much in evidence and we think it safe to assume
that some cool pool was their destination. What a Cine
thing for jfaUiorsto take their sons swimming, to, bq. com
panions wirfi them, to take time to play with them! Not
all fathers have time to be with their hoys as much as they
would like. Not all take the time that they should. FVrhaps
those who do try to provide fatherly and friendly compan
ionship for their sons remember what it meant to have their
own fathers do likewise. Or perhaps, having been denied a
father's companionship and understanding when they were
boys, these lathers aie determined that their sons will fare
bettor. Certainly the father who tries to be a boy with
his son will be closer to him, be able to understand him
.better and aid him more than he could otherwise. When a
father and sou are friends, good companions and frequent
playmates, wc are not inclined to fear for the boy's future.
More swimming parties made up by fathers and sons would
make a good investment for numerous families.
