trouble caring for two roems instead
of one? Not only is the boy's' room
rather doubtfully located and of shoe -
box dimensions, but it has a sorry
habit of being meagerly furnished or

well, let's begin at the beginning.
The thing of first importance is that
a chap should have a room of his own
if possible. The kind of room and the
location are secondary matters.
•.Some one has happily •described
one's own room as "a home within

• and eome out with new poise for the
liSing of life among others.. And
:that is whet a separate room means to,
a "boy, too, though he would scorn to
express it so poetically. ' •
With his own ioolt1 the boy will
have anupportunity to express -his in-
dividuality. • He should be' allowed
to hang up pesters, pictures of sports
heroes, pennants and banners, and the
many other tremendous trifles in
which•boyhood revels.Nearly every
