Children

Letthem have as many books as
you can afford to buy, place to
keep them in and time for reading.
1t sometimes seems as If there was
great lack of thought IN many
houses; children, if not petted aud
released from all obligations, are
treated like little servants, whose
whole duty it is to do all the odds
and ends in the house, to run on err
rands, up stair and down, to carry
packages, to be at the beck and nod
of each older member of the family,
and when the growing legs tire, and
the suppressed wish to do other
things breaks out, it is called tenn
per, or bad disposition and is pun
ished accordingly. We hear a good
deal about the plastic minds of the
children; Of the powers which their
faculty of imitation endoWS them
with, and many OF the things are
true; so it seems reasonable that if
parents and older brothers and sis
ters respect the rights Of the young
er ones, a needed lesson is taught,
and they in turn respect the rights
of others, because they have learned
what it is to enjoy privileges. When
young children understand that in
one sense the members OF the house
hold are on q common level, that
each must cooperate with the others
a great point is gained in their edu-
cation.
