4 ANNALS OF EDUCATIoN.-.1'he number for
December ofthis valuable Periodical contains
some very excellent papers having direct
bearing on the interesting subject of educa-
ton. We make short extract from one of
these papers, which contains much good sense,
and is well worthy the attention Of all parents
and instructors. II relates to the
4 Effects Of Scolding Chldren.-The philos-
opher Locke, in his Thoughts concerning
Education endeavers to dssuade those who
have the care Of children, from scolding them,
especially in anger. Ii lessons, says he, the
authority of the parents and the respect Of
children; for they distinguish easily bctwixt
passion and reason; and as they cannot but
have reverence for what comes from the
latter, so they quickly grow into contempt
OF the former; or, fit causes present ter
ror, yet it soon wears off, and natural inclina.
ton Will easily learn TO slight such scare
crows. which make noise, but are not an-
I mated by reason.
| Few Of the errors. Of young children are
regarded by this philosopher as really vicious;
and it Is only when they are vicious that they
are to be restrained with so much palms.
Even when they really do nmss voluntarily,
a mere lock or nod ought 20 Correct them
Or if. words are sometimes to be used in the
management Of the child, they ought, says he,
! to be grave, kind and sober, representing the
i'll, or unbecomingness of the faults, rather
than hasty rating Of the child for 1t, which
makes bin not sufficiently distinguish wheth-
er yonr dislike be not more directed to him
than his fault. Passionate chlGing usually
carries rough and i'll language with it, which
has this further id effect, that it teaches and
justifes it in children; and the names that
their parents. or preceptors give them, they
will not be ashamed or backward to bestow
on others, having so good authoritydor the
use Of them
There is so much truth in these sayings of
Mr.. Locke, that wish they could be fasten-
ed, like the words Of the Jewish law, to the
very .doorposts of some of our houses. Not
that they would do much good, where the
habit Of scoldpg forever, is already fixed; but
the disease is so dangerous, and remedy is
SO much needed, that almost any expedent is
worth proposing. -.
tsm not ignorant that hundreds, during the
last one hundred and fifty years, have tried
to evade the force Of Mr.. L..'s reasoning, not
by showing him to be in error, but simply by
ridlcule. Locke, they, say, was not'a father;
and old bachelors, children are always well
governed Now we find many of the truths
which Mr.. Locke teaches, and this among
the rest. so stamped on the very face of socie.
ty. and so standing out in broad and plain
characters, that il Is mpossible-borroving

FATHER DR,NKEy AND MOTHER DRINK
Ed was riding with my little daughter
through that part Of Roxbury, which is called
the Canterbury road, ween we passed very
ragged and bureiooted little boy about ten
years Of age. We were moving slowly, and
| soon perceived my chase to be inclnlng
backward, and I inferred that the child we
had passed bad got on behind. ! stopped
the horse without uttering word, when the
little fellow let go, his hold, and ran Rapidly
forward in evident terror.
'IIo is frightened out ofhs wits said my
daughter.
lie is probably accustomed to such treat
ment' IreplieJ. Setting my horse forward
we were fast evertaking the little runaway,
whose cry Of alarm. Twas now distinctly audi
bic. We were soon up with him, and per-
ceiving the impossbility of escape, he sud-
denly stopped. !Ie was crying bitterly, as
he stood with his bare feet turned inward, his
tattered knees knocking together, and his
right arm held over his eyes.

got out Of the chaise. o..

'Do you get beating often?'
'Yes sir said he.
Patting the little fellow on the head which
was easily done, for he had no crown on his
hat, 'mho beats you" said J, 'your father?
d have no father said he, fathers dead
and he gave way to food of tears. p.
There was something touching in the ap-
pearance of this ragged, barefooted, father
less boy, and my daughter could not refrain
from weeping.
Your mother beats you them said 7.
.Mother's dead too said he.,
And where did they dep inquired.
In the poor house, replied the little orphan.
'And what got them into the poor house,
said I.
sFatiey d,iiaked and Mother drinked, Said he.
The father and mother of the orphan child
were, at one time, respectable residents of
Roxbury. The father pursued at one time a
lucrative employment, i'll which he was par
ticmlarly skilful. Rum reduced him and his
wife to wretchedness and left their offspring,
who is the subject of this painful recital, the
poor, pennyless orphan child ofa drunken ia
