An Educational Experiment with Troublesome Adolescent Boys

The boy problem is difficult of solution at any age. It waxes acute, however, at the critical period of a boy's life technically called adolescence, beginning with the age of twelve and running until about nineteen. It is at this particular time that the great changes of life both physical and mental come upon him, the main directions of his life are fixed, and the foundations of his character deeply laid. It is a period of stress and strain, of Sturm und Drang, which marks the transition from the boy to the man.
