| Candid and generous and just, boys care but little whom they trust. An error soon corrected . . . for who but learns in riper years, that man, when smoothest he appears, is most to be suspected?

| Maturity: Be able to stick with a job until it is finished. Be able to bear an injustice without having to get even. Be able to carry money without spending it. Do your duty without being supervised.
