Excerpt from The Boy and the Church

These chapters deal with questions con cerning the boy who is under some form of religious training. No effort will be made here to study the reclamation of boys. From the outset the assumption will be that it is better to hold a boy while he is under religious in¿uence than to let him go and then spend several times the energy in getting him back. The proposition needs no argument. All honor to the agencies of reclamation and to the master minds in the realm of boyhood study which have brought forth the literature on this phase of the subject! Needed, greatly needed, are these activities. This book, how ever, will go a step farther back in the case of some of these boys, and will ask how to forestall the necessity for reclamation. It is the church problem.
