Frank's Ranche: Or My Holiday in the Rockies, Being a Contribution to the Inquiry Into What We Are to Do With Our Boys

Excerpt from Frank's Ranche: Or My Holiday in the Rockies, Being a Contribution to the Inquiry Into What We Are to Do With Our BoysI cling to this third reason; it embodies the only plea I can put forth. I have tried to make my story interesting it would gratify me deeply to believe that I have succeeded.What shall we do with our boys? Is a question frequently put to the body politic through the medium of the newspapers in the dull season. My experience has convinced me that the question is a useless one. You may train up and control your boys to a certain age; you may make them a present Of as good an education as you can afford; you may lay down plans for their future; you may find niches for each one to fill you may fondly hope that each one in his turn will quietly drop into his niche; that they will live and work together, and in course of time become a help and comfort to you in your declining years.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
