cal Training of Children.
Mrs. Nash introduced the discussion with
a short paper, stating that she did not ex-
pect to say anything new on subject as
old as the Garden of Eden. She believed
in the maintaining of the same standard of
purity for boys as for girls. That each
should be brought up to hate vice and vul-
garity. and to incline toward purity of
thought, word and deed. She thought the
use of the rod was more apt to have a
brutalizing effect than otherwise.
Mrs Page read some pertinent extracts
from the prize story of Mrs. E!iz abeth
Grinnell of Adsna. entitled How John and
l Brought up the Child.
Mrs. Chaplin said few words in answer
TO the question, Should our girls be taught
! to support themselves, i'll case their hus-
bands should prove a trellis instead of an
oak, for the vine? that she preferred that
the man should always be an onk, and the
woman vine; not an orchid, but a vine
with root, flowers. fruit, etc., all its own,
/ sheltered and shielded by the oak"
Mrs. Coleman thought that while wo-
| mans proper sphere was the home. still
girls should be 80 educated that they could
support themselves when necessary. She
| took as her symbol not the vine. but the
self-supporting tree. In regard to the inn
pertinence OF children, Mrs. Coleman said
| it was not peculiar to our age at all,
quoting tho words OF Solomon, and the
impertipenee Of the children to the
| prophet Elisha. resulting in their being
devoured by the bears according to the
Scriptural account. She closed by reading
q poem applicable to the subject. written
by q friend. Miss Lentz contrasted Amer
! lean and European children, to the dis
paragement OF the former as regards
manners. She thought bad books and
sensational newspapers had much evil in
fuence upon the young.
Mrs Chaplin recommended the book en-
| titled The Song of Life for the children.
! Mrs. Braddock, Mrs. Dane, Mrs. David
son and others added few words and the
subject was discussed with much interest
| to all.
Mrs. Coleman reported that owing to the
board of trade taking up tho project pro-
posed by the Twilight club and making the
meeting q gentlernan's banquet, the invita-
tion accepted by the Shakespeare club
must have it's fulfllment at some remote
and uncertain date.
