A Word to Boys.—

Sometimes the newspapers give good advice. Here is a word of advice to a boy of fifteen from an editorial in the San Francisco Examiner:—

That is emphatically true. The reading of newspapers makes children seem bright, but it is only seeming. Such reading is mental dissipation, not development.
