How Shall We Educate Our children

How Shall We Educate Our ChIldreni
Never, 1 believe, in the history of our coun-
try, has the subject of popular education re-
ceived so much attention as 1t is receiving at
the present time. Seldom does one take up
q newspaper or 3 magazine without seeing
something concerning this subject, to say
nothing of the many books that have been
written, and the lectures and essays which
have been delivered, in reference to it. Wish
ing to contribute mite in this direction, /
pen few thoughts.
photographers define education to be the
drawing forth and cultivation of the human
faculties, especially of the young nurture,
instruction, ETC., including the whole course
OF training, moral, intellectual and physical.
Agesilaus, king of Sparta, being asked what
things he thought most proper for boys TO
learn, answered, 'Those which they ought to
practice when they come to men !" and one
wiser than Agesilaus has said, Train up q
child in the way he should go, and when he
is old he will not depart from it." Man is a
trinity-a being composed of three natures,
distinct in certain sense and to a certain ex-
tent, yet SO united that the three are necessa-
ry TO the completion Of one man in short,
he possesses a moral, an intellectual, and a
physical or animal nature. In childhood the
animal nature is in the ascendant; the appe-
tites, instincts and passions are the CONTROL
ing and impelling forces. The intellectual
and moral natures are then but feebly mani
tested but by the daily use of his senses the
child gradually acquires ideas concerning him
self and the persons and things around him,
and soon he begins to manifest the moral
qualities of love, anger, will, etc. Such,
then, are the beings which God and the laws
of our land have placed in our care for cul-
ture and trainiDg-for education in the things
necessary to their future happiness and use
fulness
But how shall we educate our children
How can parents and others who are the le-
gal guardians Of children not their own, best
discharge the duties and obligations resting
upon them Plainly, by laboIing to develop
and cultivate the threefold natures of those
committed TO their care, and to do it in &C
eordanoe with natural law, training all their
faculties in harmony and in their proper pro-
portions. Do not seek to crush out or destroy
any Of the appetites, instincts or passions
which God has created for wise and holy pur-
poses, or do Aught that will injure any por-
