Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boy Problem in the Home This book differs in several ways from others written upon the home training of children. It is entirely about boys. It deals with boys at all ages. (Some writers dodge the high-school age.) It has to do solely with three things: home government, sex discipline and religious nurture. There are many other interesting phases of the education of boys. There is the boy in relation to his gang, but the author has treated that in his earlier book, "The Boy Problem." There is the boy in relation to the school and society, but the author has touched that in "The Coming Generation." Then there is the boy and the church, but in "Church Work with Boys" the writer has thought about that. Other phases remain: the natural repugnance of boys to Botticelli; their immunity from the great English classics; their affinity for the baseball page in the morning papers; their scorn of afternoon tea. Only lack of space has prevented consideration of these genial themes in this book. The sons who inspired "The Boy Problem" in 1901 have now grown to manhood. Had they not all turned out well this book would not have been written. Yet they have not been referred to often here, because they have not been clinical subjects. They have rather been like friends who drop into an artist's studio while he is painting an allegorical picture and consent occasionally to sit for likenesses as his characters. After the author has outlined his theories they have been obliging enough usually to look the part. But there is one, whose eternal girlhood hardly suggests even now that she is a mother, to whom they and this book and the author owe everything.
