THINGS TO TEACH BOYS

2. Plain old-fashioned curiosity. The more curious a "boy is, the more eager he will be to learn.
3. The glue of persistence. If you can slowly build in a boy the feeling that he can cope with any problem, within reason, then / he'll be willing to stick to it longer without getting discouraged.
4. Live and let live. You don't have to teach a boy tolerance. It's already there.. Just try not to teach him intolerance.
5. Love of country. A person can be strongly patriotic and still want to see the world more united than it is today.
6. A sense of -humor..-- The Bible says: "A merry heart doeth good , -like a medicine.'' Everyone needs-a dose.
7. Respect. Help a boy recognize that there are values outside himself that are just as important as his own ambitions, hopes and desires.
8. Reverence. Teach him respect for and obedience to our Creator.
