Time was when the members of a family spent practically their lives together while the children were growing up. Father and boys worked to- gether in the fields or at the trade. The. Church and the home were vital factors in the boys’ developing life. But as rural development has given way to the big industrial center and social and industrial changes have appeared, the fathers, and in many cases. the mothers have be- come separated from their children during most of their waking hours. At the same time a third agency in the education of the boy has de- velopedâ€"the school, and it has to some extent filled the need which arose with the changing occupations of the parents. , The Church and Sunday School are no longer the vital elements in the life of the youth that they were. Some statistics in this connection have already been collected in New York City. Although not necessar- ily typical. they may be at least indicative of conditions that may be encountered elsewhere on the continent. More than three-fourths of the boys in New York City be- tween the ages of 12 and 18 years are not enrolled in any Sunda School at all. Acquaintance wit any Sunday School record will add to this considerable number who do not attend often enough to receive any vital impression. (By Marjorie Bradford. Social Ser- vice Couneil of Canada.) “(me boy out of every fourteen is hailed into eourt for (‘lelinqueney Deliquency is largely misdirected energy. After leaving a boy‘s na- tural instincts entirely unguided, we arrest and penalize him for ex- ercising his God-given energy!” So spoke. Brother Barnabas. Executive Secretary of the Boy Life Bureau, Knights of Columbus in Canada. in an address before the National Pro- bation Association meeting in Tor- onto last June. He was. making his familiar plea in behalf of his be- loved boysâ€"for the new profession or boy guidance. BOY GUIDANCE-u A NEW PROFESSION nanny, lulu-y is, as. BOOT-BLACKING and polishing as a steady diet is to most people more objectionable than dishwashing Yet there are some who take a pride and pleasure in this occupation and actually shine in it. A little blacking goes a long way and gives a high polish, but knowing oven this, the bootblack on the Empress of France, now stocking up for the round-the-world cruise she will commence on leaving New York Jan- uary 15th did not quail when he saw a hundred-weight of boot polish being run up the gang plank for him. As a matter of fact he beamed. Each task is but a means to an end and although he may be called upon to see that many square miles of shoes are shined, he will have an opportunity of wiping the dust of many lands from them, and seeing something of these lands beside. His office was sought after, as were all others on the ship. But dealing with huge figures, one would think that at least the chefs on this giant Canadian Pacific Steamship would be to some extent awed by what is before them. Think, Madame Housewife, of having to prepare 185.000 pounds of vegetables, of having to roast 53,000 pounds of beef, 37.000 pounds of lamb. 27,200 pounds of other fresh meats and 2.750 pounds of sausages. Would it not tend to take some of the joy mi of a four month cruise? gYet this is the task of the stewards’ de- partment of the cruising Empress Supposing that with the necessary assistance you had to prepare 12.000 pounds of chickens, 7.000 of capons, 0.000 of ducklinzs. 2,000 of goslings, 8.000 of turkeys, 2.300 of guinea A Big Job in Housekeeping fer GlobeCircumnavigators.

The Knights of Columbus have made a uniquie contribution to wel- fare work in North America. They have established at the University of Notre Dame, South Bend; Indiana, a training school for boyieaders. It I During his impressionable years, the boy craves and needs the com- lpanionship of an adult of his own sex. He is a hero worshipper, and every boy needs a hero to worship. The development of his character will largely depend upon the hero he has chosen. Sure] no require- ments are then too big for the pro- fession of boy leaders. They must above all have training, for they must be teachers and athletes, they must have physical buoyancy and youth, and they must be able to co-ordinate and direct .Lhe efforts in behalf of boys. which are being put forth by practically all the men’s service clubs on the continent. “The boy is a human dynamo. Go.- ing, doingâ€"it is as easy to dam Nia- gara as to check the activity of a healthy youth in his teens. The wind will blow, and the water will dash along. do what we will. But the wind which played havoc in the garden turns the windmill in- dustriously and the power of the water which upset the boat may be harnessed to run an engine. The boy’s restless energy, if directed. ma be guided to useful pursuits an wholesome ideals. “The boy has a simple soul. He needs not a complexity of activities. but simpler ones. He is as element- al as a savage: he wants a simple environment, not the multiplicity of activities that surround him on ev- ery side. His nervous organism he- comes over developed. "Two things are needed: a pro- gram of directed activity for the boy’s leisure time and men trained professionally for his leisure time leadership Just as teachers are trained to direct his mind and doc- tors to care for his b9dy.’_" The physical business of living toalay is easier than is has ever been. A great. deal of leisure time is now enjoyed where once the wak- ing hours were fully occupied. “It, is this leisure time." says Brother Barnabas. “that. while it. enriches our lives. makes them more com- plex.” Our recreations include ten activities where our grandfathers know one. Necessarily this affects the character of our boys. when) a thnmugh survey has been mzadv 11/. 1101' cvnt 11f U101 boys b11â€" txwon the ages of 12 and 18 years (in 11111 1111111111 school at all and owr Huw-hnuths of ”10311 who 110 go attend 11;n1l1'1' 111111liti0ns that 1111 not 11111'mit.th11 i111li\i1111al instruction and thv 111115111111] Inlationship that 311* abscilutvh 111>1_Pssary to build- ing: chmactoi'.

A few other outstanding figures in connection with the four months supplies for the 450 or 600 passengers are as follows: 750 cases of Canadian apples, 250 cases of grape fruit, 36 barrels of grapes, 500 pounds of dates, 890 lobsters and crabs, 20,000 pounds of fresh fish, 3,864 pounds of coffee, 30,150 pounds of sugar, 2,280 of tea. 250 gallons of olives, 5,600 pounds of salt, 1,780 bottles of sauce, 120,000 pounds of flour, 10,000 pounds of butter, 22,350 pounds of bacon and hams, 50,000 drinking straws, 43,000 menu cardsâ€"and so on. Fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, milk and eggs will be purchased in considerable quantities to meet requirements as the cruise progresses. Fifteen thousand, four hundred tons of fuel oil will be used by the cruising steamer. All joking apart, the unattached young ladies who figure on the passenger list will be thrilled to know that the aggregate weight of the nuts aboard totals 1600 pounds, and the unattached young men will be equally pleased to learn that on all the ship there are only 40 cases of lemons. But the little boys! It will indeed go hard with them. For some hard hearted purchasing agent, with no little boys of his own, has ordered 16,650 tablets of toilet soap, 17,700 pounds of soft soap, 55 gal- ions of liquid salt water soap, and two tons of scouring soap, and soap powder! He thinks that 6,000 Polar Bars and Esquimaux Pies are going to compensate for all this! It seems that Dad has been looked after very well. Canadian Pa- cific cruise omcers tell us that for the round-the-world trip of the Em- press of France, some 59,170 bottles of various shapes and sizes have been taken aboard, and in addition 54.700 bottles of mineral waters. tow], pigeons, quail, etc., and innumerable game fowl for the table on route; would you be so keen on your trip?

All was quiet in the neigh- borhood. and there were no other persons either in the store. or in the house, a fact which was proba- bly known to the bandits. and as soon as they closed the door, thev at once confronted Mrs. Bishop with the revolvers, and told her to put Up her hands.
