why Parents should Develop Precision
and Accuracy In Children.

and Accuracy In Children.
There is no habit that young people
can acquire that is likely to be so valu-
able TO them in every relation of life as
the habit of being exact. Indefinite
ness is q crying fault of youth. 1t is an
easy thing 20 get into slipshod habits
of thought and work. Such work may
be brilliant, but unless work IS directed
toward definite purpose 1t is valueless.
Thought that appears in brilliant
flashes is as useless for guidance as the
light of jack-o'-lantern. A beacon
light must be steady and certain. The
value of fixed definite purpose in life,
steadily adhered to, cannot be overeSsti-
mated. 1t is the secret of success, and
so fully is this recognized that some
one has defined genius merely as the
power of persistence. He who has
ability to maintain a fixed purpose in
spite of disapPointments and apparent
failures, must, in the end, win, if he is
guided by honor and truth.
Exact habits are best formed in
youth. 1t is next to impossible for a
man or woman who has grown up in
''happy-go-lucky" habits of work to
turn back and learn to be exact. Par
ents often excuse inaocuracy and care
less ways in children on account of
their youth. 1t is a great mistake to do
this. While youth cannot be justly bur
dened with the cares of age, yet what
ever a young person is called on to do
should be accurately done. The COM
mon habit of acquiring a smattering
of many things should be discouraged
as vice. 1t is far better for the young
student to have two studies and pursue
these to the definite purpose Of COM
pretending them thoroughly than to
take up dozen, of which he can only
secure a frivolous knowledge.
The habit of giving simple, accurate
information is a most rare and valuable
one. Not one person in ten can give def
mite, clear directions ON any stated
subject of which they have full lnowl-
edge. Yetth is a habit which success
full business men are compelled to &C
quire. The trained specialist in any
branch of art or science is chiefly valu
able becausehe has learned to crystalline
his information and reduce it from
vaporous theory to something that can
be made practical. From the earliest
childhood, children can be taught to
be exact and clear. This is the chief
value of the kindergarten system, and it
should be supplemented by home
training for the same object Children
who learn to know what they are
taught clearly and definitely will have
nothing to unlearn, no superstitions
and false ideas to correct when they
reach maturer years. An early train
ing in definite, correct methods Of work
has trained the mind as well as the
hand, 50 that the small student from
these schools at once ready to enter
the paths of higher knowledge by a
royal road.-N. Y. Tribune.

coat the inside with oil paint, going
