The Careful Training of Children.

''As the twig is bent so is the tree in clined." Therefore, let us be extreme ly careful and judicious in governing children, those sweet, innocent, little ones who surround us.
 Who can look upon those bright, happy faces and pure hearts without meditating upon all that is good and beautiful?
 Ol how sad must be the parents hearts who look back upon the happy childhood of their loved ones and think that waywardness and crime in reality may have been due to some little trivial neglect in early training.
 Sad to say many who have met death upon the gallows, in electric chairs, and others who are behind dingy prison walls, who could we but know the lives of those poor unfortunates, could in all probability trace their terrible crimes to some real carelessness in early discipline at home or in school, and had those errors been properly corrected in youth, oh, how different perchance would have been the lives of many.
