ladies only do the practical work Of shop
ming. Their husbands, however, do not
think they are very practical in this.
They simply seem to know that they do
not need to work, but their pride should
be, TO show their ability, while at the
same time they showed they did not need
TO work. What we want are mothers.
4 lady once asked teacher "when she
should begin to teach her child?' How
old is the child?' was the question. -Four
years. "You have lost four years
already" The mother is the first and
most responsible educator of the child,
and she should learn her work at the
earliest. What then, should u girl learn?
What. rather, should she lot learn
II j. a serious view Of life-a knowl-
edge of duty-that our girls need most.
Education should cultivate in woman
natural and aesthetic knowledge that will,
enable them, as mothers, to pcptorm their
duty. She is the good or evil genius
of society, and if we fit her properly for
her proper duty, she will be far srearer
than man can be. Education should also
teach Us how to erjoy. We must look
also at the pleasures of life the whole
some pleasures, which will in time ele.
waite and educate US. We complain that
there are classes, fond Of drink. They
seek relief from the depressing strain
and dullness of work, and in drink they
receive temporary forsetfulncss. You
close the bar-rooms, however, but you
find that men who want drink will
drink; they get it somehow. You have
tried to take away drink, which is to
someextcnt of recreation, but nothing
has been given in its place, and there
was the failure. Had the crusaders and
the rcformers contrived to introduce some
other method of recreation in Its place
there might have been some benefit. The
best source Of recreation is the cultivation
OF the beautiful in nature or in art. BY
awakening and fostering the former in
nature. the most beneficial effects would
be produced The fostering OF the beau
tilu in art is more difficult, but the days
of Orpheus have not yet passed away.
Every city and town should have Its open
air free parks, with music and other en-
tertainments. and in winter there should
be halls open. The speaker suggested
that wealthy men should send their
names down to posterity by the instltu-
tion of such places Of recreation. This
he thought would be more
beneficial than sending money to the
South Sea Islands. One OF the
most potent elements, then, Of happiness
is the cultivation Of the aesthetic taste.
Happy wa, the man who had II hobby,
the man he meant, who, after the labors
Of the day are over, could turn his mind
to one pursuit which gave him happiness
and pleasure. He referred to the fact
that every being had bias, and this
should be taken advantage OF, especially
in this country. He concluded by saying
that political forms were not sufficient to
secure liberty, virtue and strength to Il
people, but the intellectual and moral
life were the elements Gifts greatness and
happiness. During the delivery OF the
