Fenelon, in his teachings, promul-
gates some excellent views for the guild
ance of mothers who have in hand the
training of the young. Some of his pre-.
cepts are as follows:
If child's disposition is good, it is
possible to make him docile, patient
cheerful and quiet, while if he is neg
lected he may become irritable, nervous
and restless for the rest of his life,
His body, which is supple, and his mind
which has not been fixed upon any par
ticular object, inclines toward evil, the
seed of dissipation develops in hin,
and becomes the source of innumerable
evils after he has reached manhood.
Children notice everything, but
speak little except as we encourage
them to talk. This should be avoided
Too often the pleasure we take in the
company of attractive children makes
us spoil them; they see they are looked
upon with favor; whatever they do
or say gives pleasure, consequently they
grow to believe the world will be al
ways occupied with them.
Do not compel children to seem to like
people or things that repel them. Give
no lessons in deceit, but encourage
them to speak their thoughts with can.
dor and righteousness.
Do not seem tired of a child's ques-
tons; they are the overtures which ma
ture gives you to make instruction
easier.
1t is important to take care of chill

thinks much about them. They should

their behavior in kindness, and because
they need to be corrected, not because
we admire them.
Never, unless absolutely necessary,
assume severe and imperious man
ner to brighten children. They are, al
rule, timid and bashful. To brighten
them by severity is to close the heart
and take away the confidence without
which it is impossible to hope for any
good results of education. Make them
love you, let them be free with you, SO
that they will not fear to show you their
faults. Be neither astonished nor IT.
