The Right Time to Kiss.

An observant and evidently discrlmin-
ating young reader of the Times writes
to say that he has read with lively sati'
faction the occasional expositions OF kiss
ing in the various moods and lenses that
he is still in doubt as to the right time to
begin kissing. He retails at some length
the embarrassments that this uncertain
ity has brought upon him, and begs the
publication of his letter in full, that
Others who are similarly situated may
contribute to the discussion and thus
make the matter clear to those who are
willing but timid.
His own experience is not without GER
tain unique interest. He has known
the "the sweetest girl in the world" ever
since he left school. She belongs to
family that considers it a first duty to
''live up to the dining room dado and the
blue china" that garnishes the side
board and table. The mother holds kiss
ing in abomination and is fond of remark
ing that the '.intellect is not fed through
the lips;" that kiss is purely feshly
perversion of the sweet intimacy of
aesthetic love. Under such frowning
providence the young girl he adores dis
PLAYS an aversion to kissing him good
night, in welcoming him with this lovers
privilege when he comes of an evening
to take her to church, the theater or
what not.
This, it will be seen, is a rather trying
plight for young lover-for kiss is the
visible sign and token of an inner senti-
ment which no words can express. The
eyes and the tongue do a great deal of
appreciate work in love-making, but the
meeting OF the lips is the sign and seal,
the chrism, so to speak. which trans
forms the earthly into the divine. Love
without kiss would be like the harp
without the hand, the rainbow without
its hue; the book without its babble; the
landscape without It's colors; the tea-rose
sweetest flower for scent that blows
without it's odor; the borealis without its
variations; poetry without rhythm; spring
without sunlight; garden without foil
age or marriage without love. The young
woman whose ideals teach her to recoil
from kiss cheats the lover of the joys of
loving and does not deserve the devotion
of manly heart. She may live up to the
dining-room dado and the sideboard brio
a-brac, but she will never prove a con-
genial wife, and our correspondent will
save his heart strings many future
wrench by leaving her to her dado and
bric-a-brac. -PhilGdeLp1 Times.

The Jurisdiction Of Mental Discipline

The real and designed purpose of our
schools is to prepare the student for the
practical duties OF life. Discipline of the
mind, then, lies at the base of our scheme
of education and the question to be an
swered by the professional teacher is ::
Glow may the greatest degree of men,
tai discipline be attained?"
Whoever takes the pains to glance at
the course OF study that has been
adopted by the school authorities
throughout the country, and considers
the time devoted to it, will discover that
about all student can do is to memorize
the textbooks, with no time let to as
simulate what he has learned. To prove
that the real purpose has not been &C.
complished, ask recent graduate Of the
high school to work out problem in
partial payments. He was an adept at
it in the grammar school, but that was
four years ago. He did not make the
law his own, and has to go to his book to
find out what it is, and the chances are
that even then he will appeal to some
one to explain it for him. His mind has
not been disciplined to the ability of in
dependent thought.
We do not decry the curriculum of
our schools, but the manner in which
student is put through it, or rather in
which it is put into a student. 1t be-
comes a nauseatlng mass that leads to
disease OF mind and body.
The processes of mental discipline,
when properly pursued, are a delight
even to childhood, and the happiest
hours of the child's life are passed while
under the kindly pressure Of an intelli-
gent and conscientious teacher, who
really teaches young ideas low to shoot.
These processes, however, BECOME irk-
some and mere drudgery when pursued
through false and unnatural methods.
The remedy or relief that the untutored
boy resorts to Is truancy, and fear Of
consequent punishment is al that pre-
vents the remedy from becoming almost
universal.
The true remedy lies in the reversa,
Of methods; making the acquisition q
knowledge an incident of a disciplinary
/ conrse-the means to an end, and that
end the power Of independent thought.
