LOOK AFTER THE BOY.

“Mothers are partly to blame for immoral tendencies of boys in their failure to conhde with and teach them that all things good are also manly. We are fussing too much about the protection and care of our girls. We would be protecting our girls if we properly cared for our boys. It is time for some one whose eyes and ears are not prudently shut to conditions, to sound a note of warning to pay more attention to the care of the boys and waste less time agitating insignificant movements. I say to mothers, take care of your boys. You may think 1 ought to say, take care of your girls first, but if we had been taking care of the boys all these years since we had them, girls wouldn’t need any taking care of whatever. They would be perfectly safe. Think of what it would mean to know that our girls would be perfectly safe wherever they go, that they would not need strong hands of the corner policeman to protect them. It is in the power of the mothers so to shape conditions that a girl’s brother and his friend and all other girls’ brothers and their friends would take such good care of a girl that the mother might be perfectly safe and at ease about her.”—Mrs A.* M. Halier, in “The Purity Advocate.”
