_On Training Children at Home._
Blood tells: the time to start training the boy right is seventy-five
years before he is born.
The reason there are so many nickel theatres and hell-holes in the wall is
because the home is not made attractive enough to retain the boy and girl.
Of all the devil-inspired sentences this is the limit: “Children should be
seen and not heard.”
The biggest mistake we ever made was to take from the teachers the right
to lick the kids.
I believe the downfall of most men and women can be traced to some defect
in the home.
A home must be something more than four walls and a roof.
The biggest monstrosity God ever looked at is the mother with her children
playing about her feet and they not getting an inspiration of Jesus.
We’re neglecting the home for the club, the lodge, the card party, the
literary society and the social function.
If a firm advertised for a bookkeeper it would expect something else than
just a man on legs; something else than just a slot machine to shove its
salary into every Saturday night.
