tion. Fifty i“" ago the average boy of eightcen had travelled very little, had read only certain standard books, and his mental diet had been in every way of the simplest. The average boy of ‘toâ€"day travels widely, reads the daily papers, and opens the rovergâ€"of all the new books that are printed. He con mount his bicycle and ride one boy should farm, or learn a trade, or keep a store, and he may argue the point, but if the boy "wants" to be an meronaut it is now the recognized duty of the father to supply the lad with balloons ; if he wants to be a post, the father must read his rhymes and try to get them printed ; if he wants to be an artist, the father must supply him with aints, and see geniue in tgo daubs he gurna out, It is all very well to find fault with a man because his son strikes off on a line of his own, yet we must not forâ€" get that boys have mothers and aunts Aud grandâ€"parents as well as fathers, and these gencrally lnpflm a lad in his preference for some fanty occupaâ€" He con mount his bicycle and ride one bundred miles in less Jme vhan, 1t rould teake him to hill an agre of potatage, Young men now on the threshold;of life cannot be espected to see the world through their father‘s spectrolés. To them the world looks different, for the excellent reason that it is dlz.rlnt. It seems clear, however, that those who possess nbiliun of mind and strength of charsoter w 1 every danu_i. acqnire are based on the idea that a docter should not be afraid to take his own medicine. In a case of this kind it is very easy for newspapers to say im tinent things, and it is the chief h;r’: ship of a man occupying a public office that he must submit to a great deal of interlerence with his private‘ affairs. The day has gone by when the averaga father can choose a career for his son or a husbacd for his daughter. I beâ€" lieve that fifty yearse ago fathers used to arrange such mabbers. Once upon a time a boy of fifkmn or algll:tun was mot supposed to know anything about life, urd the fatier mapped his career â€"he would apprentice the youth to a trade, or place him in a counting room, or at "the foot of the ladder of one of the professions. Toâ€"day, a boy insists on chuosing his own course, and public inion supports his claim to exercise 3:& right. Tt a boy "wanta" to enter a bank, or to be a doctor, or a lawyer, or a clergyman, or a newspaper man, or an electrician, it is now an unwritten law that the father must, if possible, secure him the coveted opening. The father may be of the opinion &nfi the down by the College. The objections Professor Milis, the principal of the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelpb, is being adversely criticized because ene of his sons has taken a clerkship in ts bank instead of taking up a hunâ€" dred acres of land and going in for farming along those scientific lines laid think nine out of the ten will not, at the end of five years, buve much to show for their work bus a biegele, some good clothes, and an unclassifed and unmerketably mase of information on a thous ind subjects.
