ATTACK ON WILD OATS IDEA

Dr. Nathaniel Butler Declares Young Men Cannot Sow Them and Reap Desired Good Results. Chicago.—The idea that every boy must sow his wild oats was attacked the other day by Dr. Nathaniel Butler of the University of Chicago in an address on "Some Important Aspects of the School” before the Cook county Teachers’ association In Fullerton hall. "You can’t sow wild oats and reap the desirable results,” he said. “It Is Just as easy to form good habits as It is to form bad habits, and it Is just as easy to break bad habits as It Is to break good habits. "Everything a child does becomes a part of him; he can’t help It. It is being registered on his nervous system."
