on which this salutary alternative

Erightening Children.

Nothing can be worse for a
child than to be frightened. The
effect Of the scare it is slow to re-
cover from 1t remains with 1t
sometimes until maturity, as is
shown by many Instances of NOR
bid constituencies and excessive
nervousness. Not unfrequently,
fear is employed as q means Of dis
cipline. Children are controlled
by being made to believe that
something terrible will happen to
them, and punished by being shut
up in dark rooms, or by being con-
fined in places they stand in dread
of. No ore, without vivid memo
ry of his own childhood, can COM
prehend how entirely cruel such
things are. We have often heard
grown II l'sons tell of the suffering
they endured, as children under
like circumstances, and recount
the irreparable injury which they
then received. No parent, no
nurse, capable of alarming the
young, is fitted for her position. -
Children, as near as possible, should
be trained not to know the sense
of fear, which, above everything
else, is to be feared in their educa-
ton, early and late.
