HOW TO INTEREST THE BOYS.
By Editor
ARTICLES have often been written on “How to Save the Boys” and this is a subject of vital interest to every parent. One good way to save them is to plan for their instruction, entertainment, and pleasure. To furnish helpful suggestions for active, wide-awake boys, the Youth’s Instructor is now publishing a series of articles under the general title of “Around the Work-Table.” These articles are written by Edison Driver, of California. Boys who are growing up will be interested in these lessons by a grown-up boy. Boys who would like to do things, if they knew how, will find detailed instructions, fully illustrated, by one who “knows how” to do things. A few of the articles are as follows:—
“The Climbing Sailor, and How Sailors Make Him.”
“How Ice is Made.”
“Grandpa Talks about Centrifugal Force.”
“How to Make a Simple Weaving Machine.”
“Knots and Strings.”
“Simple Experiments in Science.”
“A Simple Electric Machine.” Every boy will want to read these articles and make the experiments. No expensive apparatus is needed, but simply the tools and materials which boys usually have at hand or can easily procure. Give the boys a chance to read this series by subscribing now for the Instructor. The first article of the “Work-Table” series appeared in the Instructor of Nov. 17, 1903, and we offer to send this number and all the remaining issues of 1903 free to every new subscriber who sends us 75 cents for the paper for the year 1904.
