End of Justice Calkins, and every Saturdny morning a half dozen boys report to hlni. These boys are striving and will become tho host of citizens, for no shame Is attached to their numos, for they are unknown to tho outsldo world. It Is true that tho boy who novor has been tempted and consequently Is good Is not a safe criterion. But tho boy who has boon ami stands as a rock of good morals aud does not fall Is tho highest type of a good citizen. So It Is truo also that the boy who falls and determines by strength of, purpose nud goodness to climb back Into his former position will bo un quostlnnnbly a bettor cltlzon than tho mollycoddle.
