American Children.

George Jacob Hoyoake In the Co operative Meas.
Children In America are regarded as apt TO
act upon their own Will rather than upon tae
will OF their parents. II did not appear 10 DC
so In any OF the families which had opportu-
mites OF observing; on the contrary, there was
manifest afectionate and Intelligent obed'-
ence. AT the same time II was apparent that
yourg people We're more self-acting than thoy
are In England, where We have a somewhat
unwise domestic paternaltsm which eneour-
ages costly dependence. The result is tnat
many parents have TO keep their children al 4
period OF life when children should bs prepared
10 Keep their parents, II need be. The Ameri-
can habit OF traiHing their children TO indie
pendence, which they interpret as meaning
self-dependence. has much 10 be said In its
favor.
We have the ScripturaI maxim: Train up
child In the way IL should CO." Young people
In England among the middle class have quite
reversed this. Their reading or the text Is:
Train up the parents In the way they should
go, that when they are old they shall not de-
part from It, Hence it Is that we have SO
many yoxpg men whose politics arc conserya-
i've ccnceft, who despise the principles under
which their fathers were enabled 20 achieve
prosperity. and who think their mission In this
world Is 10 live upon the earnings OF their rela-
tives, making no honest exertions on their own
behalf.
