them without showing the virtues of
either; that they have the selfshness
and narrOwness of the one and the
extravaganza and frivolity of the other.
If these things are true, and it is to be
feared that there is too much truth in
them, it will be well for the children of
Maine when the parents of the state
realize that work will be as great bless
ing to their children as it has been to
them; and that if their children are to
win places that will be credit to them,
they must commence the battle for
success in the home and wage it con-
tinuously during school life, and be pre-
pared by these efforts for the larger
contest which will come to them later
in life.
Parents, teachers and the community
must share the responsibility of devel-
oping in the children those sterling
qualities necessary to right and helpful
living. If parents put the most Of
their vitality into their work and
dissipations, they can endow their off
spring but sparingly with this gift.
The general tone and particular arrange
n1ent of the home should tend to develop
abiding attachments rather than to excite
degenerate emotions. The dress Of the
children should be Of such quality and
color as not to attract attention Of observers
or absorb the thought Of the acearer. Their
food should be satisfying and noerishing
rather than stimulating and irritating
Less time should be spent IN aC0lking the
streets, ricjOuS gossip, idle lettering and
questionable ganaes, md more time should
be giren to the school and sleep. Theg
should not be brought IN contact erith such
street scenes, social gatherings and public
entertainments ia amending and unceasing
recurrence as to keep their minds IN an.
1nacbOleson1e state Of excitement and theirs
emotions IN q telnoe1t Of dissipation.
If the control of the child in the
home is slight, ftful and unnatural, this
condition should be replaced, in the
