The habit of depending on others is
an evidence Of weakness. With many
us natural, From early childhood
there are those who appear to need a
stronger person to lean on. Like vines
that must cling to trees for support
some persons are ever feeling after a
stronger influence to bear them up.
Whether this can be overcome where it
is inherent is question. 1t has been
argued that it cannot. And vet there
are cases where under stress of circum-
stances natures that before were weak
and yielding have become strong and
vigorous. 1t has often been remarked
that women on shipboard have shown
in time Of distress fortitude and cOur-
age greater than that Of strong men.
1t thus seems clear that this quality
may be summoned when occasion de-
mands it. Can it be cultivated for the
ordinary uses of life?
Se.f-reliance is dependence on self in
emergencies and amid all the duties
and struggles of life. Some idea of
what we are-the habit of self-depend-
ence-is a preparation for this. And
in order to do this we believe the more
responsibility children are made to as
