III THE CHURCH AND THE BOY If the foregoing facts considering the home and school life are absolutely true, and the consensus of opinion of the students of boy life would have it so, it means that the church has a larger opportunity than formerly supposed to influence the boy life of the community. The investigator into the life of boyhood has revealed to us the fact that a boy's life is not only fourfold--physical, social, mental and spiritual--but is also unified in its process of development. If this be so, there must be a common center for the boy's life, and neither the home nor the school can, because of social or economic or political conditions, become this center. The only remaining place where the boy's life can be unified is the church. |
