Excerpt from Boy Training: An Interpretation of the Principles That Underlie Symmetrical Boy Development The boy grown tall - has failed either to remember or to appreciate his boyhood experiences, and that in trying to help other boys on the path to manhood, he has lost the road. The American continent, as far as we know, has been in the same place since the morning stars sang together, and all it needed was a Columbus to sail his craft over the unknown sea to point men to new homes and happiness. Thus it is with boyhood, and we are just beginning to realize that the life of the growing boy is becoming as well known to students of boyhood as the face of the North American continent to the explorers and travelers of a hundred years ago.
