Having had no command of money, with no experience of providing for the future, they are given a month or six months' allowance, and the parent is surprised at the end of the year to find the boy in trouble and debt. A boy should be taught to accept during his youth the discipline of his environment, for no college can guarantee to each student individual superintendence over the formation of character; it can only supply...
