"As the Twig is Bent the Tree is In.
clined," is the title given TO a brilliant
paper on child study, read before the
Woman's Council this afternoon by Mrs.
H. w. Callahan, of Boulder. The writer
stated that the discussion by educators,
psychologists and philanthropists waxed
hot over the question of the training
of the child, whether the desired
end can be obtained by anything
but careful day to day training from
infancy. or whether child should be
left to its own sweet will the greater part
of its early life. Mrs. Callahan is strong
ly of the opinion that obedience from
babyhood, constant and unqualified, is
the basis of happy and healthful devel.
opment and that though there are sad
failures even in the best regulated homes
still the outcome will be more sure than
if the "Twig" is left to the tender mercles
of stray cows or untimely winds, and
that the "Tree" will be more apt to at.
tain the strength and grace desired.
Mrs. Callahan is prominent member
of the Boulder "Fortnightly" and the
Chautauquans c were delighted to meet
another of the bright and charming wo-
men of whom Colorado is so Justly
proud.
