Education is to be fitted to the child,
and not the child to education"

The child has right also to be we'll
born. To be wellbred is mere surface
detail; but to be well-born affects every
tissue, every thought. every impulse.
But to make a declaration OF rights (this
has happened quite often in human
history by no means assures those rights
save by long years, long centuries of
strain to secure them.
Thus does it happen that though We
tew-are coming more and more to a
iulI understanding OF chiIdren's rights,
the many sim live without realizing the
debt they owe to the fueure o. behalf of
their progeny. Tney snatch at natures
pleasurabe bait, trying every means to
avoid the hook, so that children receive a
heritage OF life that was unintended, and
appear on tue scene OF their life unwel
coined.
Is this their right? I seem to hear the
voiceIess ones, who are yet to live, plead
ing in tones Of unuttered sadness for a
share Of life that is ungrudged and that
deliberately represents the highest and
the hottest and the best in those who give
it. These little ones whose hands are to
grappe with works that we shall not see,
whose eyes are to behold the growing
wonders and duties OF new century,
whose minds are to be the inheritors OF
the wisdom of all the ages, whose
shoulders are to be clothed with majesty,
dominion and might undreamed OF, what
are they to us! Everything that is worth
esteeming. The gentle spirit OF a mother,
purposely held in gentleness and in re-
straint, enters into and aids the child to
good and wholesome career. The self
conquest and selfdenial OF father is
vantage point for the child that is yet to
be. These are rights that are rights in
deed, and they outweigh all other rights
even rs the whole outweghs the part
tor all other rights are involve in paying
heed to the race that is yet to be.

Among Childreu's rights, therefore, let
US who want TO be III the ven of progress
reckon "child -stuiy", rs it i ciilei.
How foolish the young farmer ~ no
strives to make his farm look Just like
his neighbours. II he graded do%n this
hill and plnwed up that pasture, he might
secure sume similarity OF appearance but
he would destroy his own farm in the
process. The way to get most out OF his
farm is q suit his treatment to It's pc
culiaritles, and those pecdiaritles cannot
be learned over his neig h bor's fence.
Behold. the farm is the child aud its
needs must be similar. How natural *
the question, "What viii it becomt?'
when smiling infant looks up Ia the
a new blown rose. The answer Is not to
be found by pouring knowledge in, bur
by drawing it out. In other words, the
new education-the education that con-
taius hope for he race and JOY for suffer
ing, inundated chiidhood-sits first at
the feet OF the child and learns from it
the needs that it mas, and then ri ses up to
minister to the new individuality that
has been discovered. Just as great
teacher once said regarding Sabbath OBJ
servance-: "The Sabbath WAS made for
man, and not man for the Sabbath" So
says the new revelation OF our later day:

SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS.
BY "NEMO".


As to Chldren's Rights My childish
soul was once deeply stirred by foreign
missionary, who told, in most grewsome
manner, OF India's car OF Juggernaut.
This huge structure, be- jeweled and
blood-stained, was, at certain seasons of
the year, dragged hither and thither over
the bodies OF living people. And in my
immature judgment thought that such
things could never be, save in the land of
splendor and of plague.
But time changes us all! How clearly
one now sees that these Juggernaut cars
OF prejudice have been in many places
and IL not quite so tangible yet quite as
real as the brutal car OF India. What a
Juggernaut has been ecclesi last icism!
During the darker ages of our world
those ages that followed a time OF great
light-it demanded from all men the
giving up OF private judgment, it
tried to compel similarity OF belief (ot
course, impossible) and in the COM
polling it killed. Thanks to enlighten-
ment and charity OF thought that car of
human violence has wheels that now
scarcely move.
What Juggernaut has been educa-
ton! With but few exceptions, until a
few years ago, it demanded uniform
treatment OF all children. 1t has not
crushed willing victims, but helpless
little ones, who were cast i'll its insensate
path by those so deuded that they verify
thought they did righteous service to the
race. No more than the wind, ran be
duced TOT system, can one child be made
it similar training. 1t csuEt be done aud
the attempting OF it injdres the child.
Look on the board OF school system OF
England as it was fest orgauized and you
which little heads and hearts we're ruined
Let your Imagination ruprlp aud under
stand all hat it meant - tine when IL
French statesman exr.at=H-i one day on
looking at his watch. Il Know what
every child in France is doing at this
moment
But happily, just a. II better day has
daWned for India aud for rriigi IA, so
there NOW grows INTO strong ilght new
day for education, wherein the iHdivii
uaity OF the child il 10 be respected in
stead OF crushed and forced aud warped
as 1t WAS never intended to be.

Not many months ago Mrs. G. W. Palmer,
Of Jonesville, VT, was apparently on the edge
Of the grave.
For months and months doctors had been
treating her for stomach and bowel troll
bles which had seriously undermined her
health.
Instead Of improving, however, she be-
came worse. Her life was in danger.
Finally a doctor advised her to use DR..
WilliamS Pink Pills for Pale People.
To-day Mrs. Palmer owes her life to
the use Of these pills.
This marvellous restoration to health Is

Duties Of a School Supervisor.

One OF the bright addresses at the re-
cent meeting Of the National Educational
Association at Washington was by Miss
Sarah E. Arnold of Boston, formerly
principal of the st. Johnsbury public
schools. She was introduced as zone of
the wisest and most beloved supervisors
in the country"
Miss Arnold's address, outlining briefly
the duties and privileges of the supervis-
or was clear and comprehensive, sincere
and hopeful.
Enumerating first the various titles Of
the supervisor, director, Inspector, head
teacher assistant superintendent, she
dwet on the illusion prevalent about
this "argus eyed, many-tongued, stern
DICTATOR" and said:
Had he given name it should be
Moses leading his people into the prom
ised land. Should he be pictured, it
should be leading a troop Of little chill
dren. 1t is not his to stand in the rear,
and say, go, but to lead, and say,
CONE"
Speaking Of the effect of kindness and
friendliness on teachers, Miss Arnold
said:
"Onlv in the sin of confidence can our
best efforts flower" The necessity for
, cooperation was forcibly dealt upon.
"Cooperation-that is the lesson of the
twentieth century; the nineteenth CEN
fury has been spelling the words. No
mans work is effective unless upheld by
other men. Unity, not uniformity
working with definite aim should be en-.
couraged. Force cannot become effec.
tive unless driven by unity of purpose.
Teachers working within the four walls
of their rooms year after year are apt to
become stationary. Teachers, like other
humans, should grow by their own self
activity. 1t rests with the supervisor to
bring this cut. He must have deer
kno Wedge of teaching; must be master
of principles; never dictatorial, mechanic
al. He must learn the fine art OF self
forgetting. By innate power of delicate
sympathy he wins his degree, command:
confidence and obedience.
Treating qualifications more in detail
instancing examples OF effective ant
poor supervisors, Miss Arnold concluded
eloquently with an illusion to our victo
ry at Santiago.
Solemn tidings have reached us
thanksgiving, mingled with prayer. Tt
what leader shall the glory be given
is asked. and newspaper makes an
swer; Neither to the one nor to tn
other, but to the men. and to the boy
who have gone from our Schools Gu

written conquests. Achieve unrewardet
triumphs. But there shall be equa
glory for all who give their utmost Ell

EVER WATUHFUL.
Constantly on the Alert is the Only
Guarantee of the Future.

When we hear OF burglary in our
neighborhood, we always take the most
careful precaution to fasten and lock
UP our premises. When we read dan
ger" sign, we heed its warning. None
but the reckless rush into dangerous
places unless compelled by necessity,
and still thousands upon thousands re-
ceive note OF warning daily, danger
signal OF deep import, and do not give
it passing thought.
A little backache, twinge, twitch,
or pains in the back, are not very hard
to bear at first, but they're warning,
danger signal OF what's coming. Most
backache pains are due to kidney dis
orders, pass them by unnoticed and
the kidneys become more troubled. In
time urinary complaints, Bright's dis
ease, and death result. Be ever watch
full OF backache. A few doses OF Doan's
Kidney Pills taken at the proper time
will save future trouble, perhaps life

in the Patriot Block, Woonsocket, R.

kidneys became more than troublesome,
I noticed irritation in one OF them. For
long time | paid little attention to it,
thinking that nature would assert her
self. In my case nature either did not
or could not and by and by the secre-
tons from the kidneys became thick,

my work when STOPPING over my draw

A very small girl was learning to
write. Her teacher ruled the slate and
set her ''copies," and Lucy took great
pains with the pot.hooks and the round
o's with which she began. One day the
teacher set down something new for
Lucy to copy.-M-o-o-Moo.
What is it?" asked Lucy, with puz-
zled look.
"That is Moo The noise COW
makes, Lucy. See, it is made up of pot
hooks and round o's, just what you
have been learning on"
So Lucy sat down and prepared to
copy Moo" But she did it in queer
way. She made an M at the beginning OF
each line, and followed each M with a
whole string of os all across the slate,
like this, Mooooo.
but that isn't right, Lucy" said the
teacher, when the little girl showed her
the slate. You must copy the word as
have written it. So-Moo."
Lucy looked at the teachers copy, and
then she shook her head decidedly.

Jones," she said. For l never saw a

has no water power to offer to manu-

locate there and avail themselves OF the
many advantages this city has as COM

there would be the means OF bringing
