Mrs, Flea nor gave three vocal Miss Rhoda Olds Her rendition was greatly appreciated by the audience and she received hearty applause.

Dr. Clark began by telling of his unusual experience in life, occasioned by unexpected things being wished on him. As there were a number of men iu the audience, the speaker said he would have to include the fathers iu bin talk. In hie meeting of thousands of young people, he said, he hail come to definite conclusions. The character of a young person Is far earlier was cap-j settled than is usuhDv supposed.

Southern 1 The mother settles what the child 1 to be up to the age of thirteen, and that usually settles what the whole life will be. The father usually his responsibility iu the formation of child character. The mother knows more about the boy, but she doesn't know what the father would if he could remember what he had been at that age. Dr. Clark states that he sends notires to thousands of fathers concerning 1 their standing in the universities, and the mothers always an- his letters, because the fathers are busy men, having only 1 tour or five stenographers.

Mother Inteivedew The mother writes several pages about the measles, adenoids, explaining why son has flunked iu math or some other Students are largely I made before they go to college; rhildren are like their parents. but unfortunately they do not pick out the qualities in the parents I which the latter would like them lo Imitate. They often follow the trails which the parents are mosr likely to conceal. Many a child has been petted so much at home that when he comes to college, he not know how to care for himself Some parents admit that their boys are the smartest in their home town. They deliver the lads to the dean with all sorts of requests.

Such boys are often more than the dean tan manage, because they have been so spoiled at home. Dean Clark said further that eighty per cent of the students do what they should and get their lessons well, but It the twenty per cent who fail that get all the publicity. They are generally a little uncertain atxiut their father, but they know they ran count 011 I their mother. Clark has seen at least a hundred thousand fa- thers who say. "If niy son does that, out he but son doesn't go.

The parents will stand When a boy gets to the place I where his parents can't stand I him. no one will. Penally For MUtuke Nothing Is so good for us. the known said, as pay a penalty for any mistake we make. When he was first dean of men.

Cl'trk said, he could hardly bear1 to impose a penalty on any atu-! dent, but when allowed to go unpunished the students always committed the same mistakes again. A good sport will take his punishment, and a good disciplinarian will always inflict it. Sehools are responsible for the character of students, and dwell too much on facts and too, little on character. The home is responsible for the start the child gets in life. Children learn more from example than from precept They will follow the examples anti they know whether those who present them are sincere.

Dean Clark mentioned two men as influencitiK his life, his father and a college professor. The church is also le- sponsible for young people, but it doesn't meet them on their own' level. They learn more from their home than from any other source, and one can tuR from the actions of a college freshman, the kind of a home from which he comes. Dean Clark has never seen a boy succeed In college whose home troubles worry him. Domestic troubles between parents show in a hoy's work anti ideals in lege.

Children are forming habits from 12 to 10. and form few in later years. Fourteen is experimental age, where love ami religion enter Into me life of a boy. If the boy is not taught by this time to be honest anti clean in hahtts and thought, it is hart! to do much with him later. Manners must he learned at home.

Drinking is lesi Dean Clark went on to say (halt there is not nearly so murh drink-! ing as in tormer years, but what there is Is more talked about and emphasized by conversation anti in, the press.
