Thia is the season of the year when the small boy gets
the most out of life.
Adolescent juveniles of today may go in for golf and
tennis, for motoring or more or iess decorous bathing par
ties in more or less modest costumes, but the small boy
who hasn’t yet any “teen” in his age gets his summer fun
in just about the way we did, and our fathers and grand
fathers before us.
At least, if he doesn’t, he is missing something of real
value in his life and education.
It is one thing for a boy to go to a carefully supervised
summer camp or to study scientific woodcraft under the
tutelage of a scoutmaster. It is quite another thing for
him to roam around the woods and pastures barefooted,
accumulating sunburn and stonebruises and an immense
amount of lore about the habits of mud-turtles and garter
snakes. Game laws mean nothing in his young life. He
can get more of a thrill fishing for bullheads and sunfish
in the old millpond than your fancy sportsman with his
split bamboo rod and hand-tied flies ever experienced.
And when it comes to bathing, all the beaches in the
world can’t compare with the old swimmin’ hole, where
you never had to bother with a swimming suit, where girls
were strictly banned, and where you didn’t need a spring
board to dive from. No man has ever truly lived who hat
not experienced the sensation of a “belly-flop” that
pretty nearly knocked the wind out of him!
We do not learn about the world we live in through
eyes and ears alone. We learn through our hands and
our feet the feel of sun and wind and rain on our bare bod
ies, the squash of mud between our toes, the heft of a
hickory limb compared with a willow branch. Only such
intimate contacts with nature can establish a background
against which life can be viewed in later years in its true
perspective.
Do boys still whittle whistles out of young willow
shoots? You hammer the bark gently with the handle of
your Barlow knife—only it’s your Boy Scout knife in these
days and the bark peels off in a perfect cylinder which
needs only to have the wood whittled to the proper shape
and reinserted, to make a whistle to which any dog will
respond. We had almost forgottne the dog. He is needed
to make the picture complete.
A boy, a dog, a jacknife, in the country in the summer—
that is the combination which provides the only perfee'
happiness most of us ever had or will have.
