Do we confide in them, make friends of them, talk with them, ad to them, understand them? \At the meal table do we converse freely with them and so open up their minds and provide them with food for the thought as well as for ent of an eastern newspaper who wants to elevate the race, who is Snsrodeed with the thought that “upon us rests the responsibility of producing a race able to stan the struggles of life, ready to-an- ewer the call of duty and be wrong citizens of this our country.’ Possibly there are fathers whose free conversation would not be vastly edifying, ard it seems pro- bable that the talk of the corres- pondent himself might be the heavi- est course at the table. In the one ease youth would have but a dowbt- ful lift toward the duties of citizen- ship and in the other those duties a would be made to appear painfully onerous. However, suppose that we do not look far beyond the indi- vidual to the reconstruction of our country and the uplift of civiliza- tion generally. Suppose, also, that the father is neither overfreighted with philosophy nor reduced to the state of the monologue artist in the vaudeville show. Having made the ‘premises secure, it is comparatively easy to go to the height of the great argument, espe- cially when there is a story right ab hand that fits in perfectly, The father was an excellent man, and among men he was a companion- able man. Though there was often a touch of cynicism in what he said he was kind of heart and he had a very keen enjoyment in the society | nette h of his friends, But somewhere from out_a_puritanical past there had | 4, come to him a belief that boys be- longed by nature to the evil one and that they were born for discip- line, A boy was not only a soul, but the chances were that he was a lost soul. And to save him severi-|o: ties were absolutely necessary. There was danger always that smile impinging on him at the wrong moment might send him| “ straight to the devil. In @ gloomy retrospect the son of the man, who has become a youth of 50, now gives the results of the system. He says that he never ran to greet his father when he saw him coming home to the noonday meal, but that he dreaded to meet him. Conyersation at the meal consist- ed chiefly of don’t. To this day the over-disciplined son feels a tempt- ation to eat with his knife because of his revolt, against those don’ts. There is not a correction at that table that he would not abolish for his own boys. If the importunities of his appetite were such that he asked for more in the face of cer- tain and awful condemnation and a look that would freeze the blood, dt is probable that those boys of | 4); his reap a doubtful benefit in the permission to gorge themselves. Always a barrier and what is the gain! In certain cases it has been miserably disastrous, and at best ie it has led to a belated pardon for a lier judgment on his father, to ap- preciate his good qualities, but it is obvious that even in hie case though a soul was to be saved a meant the soul that is life. ever may happen to our country or civilization the richest harvest of the man who felt that it was a Christian duty not to be a chum of his boys is pity, regret and forgive- ness that have appeared long after bis death.
