"oh. I want to Ret out of this little
burp, where folka talk about you ev
ery time you turn around I wunt to
po to a place hip enouph ho that I can
do what I please when I please and
not have all the tielphborM saylnp that
I am poiiiR to hell or perdition. I

These are almost the enact words
of a Cott.ipe tJrove lad 111 his early
teens, that iiilolem-ent ape when
many boys and girls pet the Idea that
thev have reached that period in life
when parental restraint should be
swept aside, when they should Slid
ilciily blossom forth to fullprown
manhood and womanhood, sally forth
to da.zle an astonished world with
the irresistible forte of their Renins
land brinp fame to the little hurp
which once was their home but from
I w hose narrow confines they fled that

I they felt that they were detined to
fulfill. Why should another flower
"blu-h unseen and waste I's sweet
li'-.ss on the desert air?"
Most all of us have heard some
youngster (for goodness' sake don't
let the "kid" hear you call him that
name l make some similar remark. We
have merely smiled - If the youngster
was someone else's -and thought of
the awakening to come within a few

I'dliats they are rrtiT enouph. and
hip enouph, and know enough to care
for themselves, hut It tisualy is the
( use that those who brag about, be
ing able to care for themselves are
the ones who need the most restrain
ing. Those who do not fret at the re
straints of a little burp and at the
whims of "olij fashioned parents."
those who are not finding fault be
cause they can't po to a show every
other night or to u dunce once or
twice a week, are not necessarily en
tirely devoid of umbitlon and pep.
That kind of a ill .o-otioii may lie
found to be the more solid founda
tion upon which to build instles In
the air Certain it is that parents nte
not poiug to woriy much about boys
and pills with that kind of a dispo

Among us who haw- now rem tied
that time of life when we like to feel
that we are competent to Instruct and
