For the Boys

By Editor

Many parents complain that their boys are going away from the truth, and that they have no more hold upon them. This may be prevented in a large measure by making home more attractive for them, by planning something for their entertainment evenings—in fact, by taking an interest in the things which interest the children.
If they are anxious to read, and you do not provide suitable reading for them, they are likely to find something for themselves, and it may not be of the right kind.
It has been our endeavor to fill the pages of the Youth’s Instructor each week with good, wholesome reading, and to have it prepared in a way to entertain and at the same time instruct.
We wish to call your special attention now to a series of articles which is to appear in the Youth’s Instructor, beginning Nov. 17, 1903, under the general title of “Around the Work-Table.”
This “Work-Table” series is written by a grown-up boy for boys who are growing up, by a boy who can do things, for other boys who would like to do things, if they knew how. The purpose of the writer is to teach them how. Everything described in these articles, every experiment made, has been made by boys working with the author. No expensive apparatus will be needed, but simply the ordinary tools and materials that nearly every boy has at hand, or can get with a very little planning.
Some of the articles are:—
The Climbing Sailor, and How Sailors Make Him.
How Ice Is Made.
How to Make a Simple Weaving Machine.
Knots and Strings.
How to Make a Simple Electric Engine, etc., etc.
Some boys who are not fond of reading, are interested in “making things,” and these should surely have these suggestions which will appear in the Instructor.
Order the paper to-day for your boys, and encourage them to make each article described in the “Work-Table” series.
