cHILDREN'S INDIVIDUALITY.

Our children are compared to the
lovely plants that grow in the field
AS with plants, so with children; and
as we must study the nature Of each
plant In our garden that we may the
more intelligently cultivate 1t, just so
In the management of the little ones
that are given into our hands to train
We must diligently study the nature
and character of each human plant,
that we may be able to cultivate and
correct to the best advantage.
While one child is Of a cheerful and
Independent nature, preferring to care
for himself, and even anxious to fight
his own battles in life, another, though
Of just as cheerful disposition, is
careless and thoughtless, allowing
others to carry his burdens and bear
easily along and manages to enjoy life
after fashion. Another is kind, af-
fectionate and self-sacrifcing, but is
OF a very sensitive nature, and is lack
ing in self-reliance Still another, per-
haps a member of the same family,
while possessing many desirable traits
Of character, is extremely self-im-
portant and very overbearing.
Would it be advisable to use the
same means in managing all these
children? Would it not be better to
thoroughly study the nature and needs
of each child separately, and choose a
mode of treatment to meet their indi-
vidual requirements? Would you COW
er the face of the sunfower from the
life-giving sunlight? Would you ex-
pose the modest little violet to the dry
heat and dust?
Need we prepare a trellis for the hol-
lyhock, or expect the clinging morning
glory to stand erect and open its ten
der blossoms to the whitening rays OF
the sun?
We quote from a writer who has I'M
doubtedly had a broad experience in
this important line of work: The key
to the training of children is the study
of their individuality. Every child in
the home is an individual problem
One child requires to have certain
trait developed; his brother may need
to have the same trait gently and low
ingly held in check to prevent It's
acknowledgment. Mothers sometimes
say, I treat all my children exactly
alike Therein is a mistake. One ma
ture is helped by course Of discipline
that Injuries another. As a gardener
gives to each flower in his charge
equally loving care. yet varies the
treatment Of each, so should the moth
er treat the human flowers entrusted
to her care. The same sun that melts
wax hardens clay"

The break in the levee was very
large and within an hour scarcely a

rising of the waters to give warning.
The houses on the outskirts were lift

Most of them were torn into splin-

in them.
Nearer the center of the town some

After a few minutes the horror of
the situation was added to by the
catching fire of large house that
had started downstream with the
others.
The people on the roofs were al
ready in danger of being thrown off
by collisions with other floating
houses, but the appearance of this
floating firebrand added terror. AS
