arguments was followed by physical
violence. and by the time Captain

Gilbert seemed to be the aggressor.
and he was accordingly excursioned

remember that their direct moral training
begins in the cradle, and therefore its in
ception is in our hands. By the habits of
life which surround the infancy of the
child are laid the foundations of moral
character. The regularity of hours of
feeding has more than physical bearing,
1t is moral in quality. Rules may not be
good but the life of unregulated impulse
is always bad. 0 friends, this subject of
moral training is so broad, so high, so
deep, so wide, that it involves the whole of
life. 1t is found not anly in the lessons at
the mothers knee, but in the school, the
pulpit, the press. 1t is found in the
statute books, where laws remove or
strengthen the safeguards of virtue. We
may keep silence, but myriads of voices are
proclaiming truth or falsehood in regard to
purity. In city streets or country lanes,
in field or forest, in market or court, from

facts of sex are being taught. Shall we

Surplus Toys a Danger.

The wisest parents avoid rousing temper
instead of trying to control it when reused.
Plato says that 1.-The soul of the nursing
should be made cheerful and kind by keep
ing away from him sorrow and fear and
pain" Froebel insists everywhere that a
steady, cheerful and eeuable tenderness
surround the child, and especially that 10
sense of injury, of discomfort unnecessarily
inflicted shall breed in him resentment and
all evil passions. 1t is significant fact
that mothers are less severe with their
latest children than their first, and grand
mothers are notably indulgent.
In the third place the power of attention,

power. psychologists tell US, that is the

satisfy all his social needs. But soon the
little one reaches out for the companion
ship of those equal in ability. Soon he re-
quires wider training for his social
instincts.
1t is the first training in citizenship to
teach the child self-control 1t is taught
him that he may do all he wills, provided
he ipfringes not upon the rights of any
other. The little citizen is guarded from
evil impressions and from promiscuous
intercourse. His instincts, started for
good, will retain the impetus formed by
good habits. 1t is common mistake Of
Well-to-do mothers to trust the confiding
child to unskilled, uncouth nursegirls at
the time when the habits of life are being
formed.
1t must be recognized that living with
children means something more than per-
forming the drudgery necessary to keeping
them alive, more than amusing them, more
than loving them Unfortunately. 1t means
more than calling them little angels, just
too sweet to live, and it does not stop at
declaring them to be little iends that
worry one almost to death.
The kindergarten gospel teaches that
the happiness of the child is the will of
God and that the child must be taught in
order TO be happy. Froebel draws the
lesson of the child-life from the study of
