Excerpt from Training the Boy
I have a profound faith in the common boy - and that means practically all the boys, for there are few natural born blockheads. But the common boy has within his being at infancy all the latent possibilities of intellect, of morals, of spirituality, necessary for developing him into a citizen of great worth. A noble citizenship does not call for brilliancy in men so much as it calls for honest self-support, cleanness of the daily life, courageous action in the face of trying circumstances, cordial sympathy and helpfulness in all dealings with others, and a sane dispo sitiou toward the Ruler Of All Life. And all these may be wrought into the character of the ordinary boy -pro vided we begin his training in time and deal with him intelligently throughout his growing years.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book advocates a practical approach to shaping ordinary boys into extraordinary adults by nurturing capabilities that contribute to society. The author emphasizes that all boys possess the potential for brilliance, not just those who excel academically. Sound upbringing and training can empower any boy to develop a strong moral compass, industriousness, and a profound appreciation for their role in the world. The author provides parents with a comprehensive plan that encompasses all aspects of a child's development, from infancy through adolescence, stressing the importance of instilling obedience, facilitating self-expression, and introducing industrial training early on. The book argues that an emphasis on industrialism is crucial for the development of well-rounded individuals capable of contributing to the workforce and society at large. From chores around the house to part-time jobs, practical training prepares boys for the challenges and responsibilities of adulthood.
