NATURAL TRAINING OF CHILDREN

NATURAL TRAINING OF CHILDREN.
No popular fallacy is more fallacious
than the one which speaks of the public
schools as destroying the individuality OF
children. Discover their natural bent"
cries the thcorist, and encourage them to
strengthen and develope their peculiar tai
ent, and desist from compelling them to
partake of distastef3l mental food: :" MANY
children are constttionally opposed to
arithmetical calculation. Shall they be
confined to their favorite study-music or
drawing, for instance-or shall they not
be compelled to learn something of mum
bers to make their talent available? A
chlld's popularity is to make his writing
as different from the copy as it is possible
TO imagine. Shall he be trained in this
idiosyncracy and graduated when his pen
nanshlp assumes the height OF illegibility
nsully allowed to that of Rufus Choate !.
Or shall we strive to make his cairop-
raphy conform to the well recognized
standard of elegance and grace? A child
is born color blind. Shall we confirm
him in the belief that red is orange and
that green is blue? Many child is
prone to lying: Is lying peculiarly to
