Excerpt from Boy Life and Self-Government

But books are usually born, not made. They grow naturally with the slow process of the years. Perhaps this little book finds its genesis back in a certain Old New Eng land town where the same grand old elms shade the same crooked streets where thirty years ago the writer was the proud marshal of a troup of some fourscore small boys, who in keen imagination fought, bled and died as youthful patriots in the strenuous cam paign for the everlasting glory of Garfield and Arthur! In all the years since, he has been a lover of boys and an interested stu dent Of boy politics. Believing that much of the perplexity of the boy problem and the difficulty of boy management in church, club, home or school can be relieved by frank ness and tactfulness in trusting the boys and developing their manliness through respon sibility and initiative, he is glad to share these studies in the principles Of progressive self-government in boy life.
