good of children in the homes of the
world, begged that they be taken into
the confidence of their parents and never
told that children should be seen and not
heard. Children and sunshine are syn

driving into the street of the noisy child.

should be much TO the parents ears. No
room in the house should he closed to
them" His poem entitled "Babyville'
