form or another have haunted the heart
and head of mankind since infinity be-
game finite. And until fms is written
at the foot of the tablet of time the prob.
lem will not have been solved to the
satisfying of the children of men.
Afterward? Well, afterward is more
mystery. But to borrow from Kipling,
and many before him, that's another
story.
But what has all this to do with the
admonition. Train up a child in the
way it should go?'
What bearing has all this upon
whether that training shall be by cor
poreal punishment, the self government
plan of personal responsibility from in
fancy, the kindergarten system of work
ing at play, the rule by love, the rule by
force or the rule by reason?
Well, somebody's responsible to soci-
ETY. and to God for helpfulness or hind
rance to the maturing growth of every
slip in the flower bed of infancy. Else
there is no dependent responsibility. If
the child is going to be just so anyhow
it would be a great convenience to know
it that one might take things with an
easy conscience and let the youngster
run loose. But custom is against the
conviction and the habit of interference
with the general bent of infantile incli-
nation and juvenile practises has so
grown upon humanity that angelic as
surance of universal unaccountability
would have no appreciable effect in eur
failing domestic coinage of the negative
verb to "don't."
There is no getting away from it.
The parent is sponsor for the child.
This responsibility is often passed on to
a proxy-a nurse, a g%overness, a tutor,
the Sunday school teacher, the public
school teacher, the mothers congress of
estimable elderly maiden ladies, the kim
dergarten association of excellent young
girls or any one whom circumstances
and the conveniences throw in the
way. So that while the training of
children is the first duty of citizenship,
yet the least comparative duty is not
more poorly performed-except by proxy.

have a thought for the children for
the young children whose futures will be
largely determined by the education re-
ceived before they are D years of age.
Train up a child in the way it
should go.
A little child is born.
Out of eternity into time has come
this essence of innocence. Symbolic of
purity, a sinless soul. Into a casket Of
mortality is placed the immortal. The
heart, love the mind, reason the soul,
faith.
And upon this white sheet will be
written the story of a human life.
In this tripartite crucible is to be as.
sayed from all creeds and PHILOSOPHERS,
as gold from dross, the true, the beauti-
full and the good. Then dissolution and
again immortality.
That is the idealistic conception of
life. Is it the real?
The heart of a little child, bud Of love,
rich in promise of blossoming beauty
and fragrance.
The mind of a little child, a virgin
page, laid, yet damp with celestial dew,
upon the letter press of human expert
ence.
The soul of a little child, a sensitive
plate of consciousness whereon time
must photograph impressions of eternity
in the adjustable camera of events.
A little child's nature-who shall
write life's lessons upon it's white pages
of innocence with careless hand and be
blameless for the blot left there? Who
shall cast, through ignorance or indiffer-
ence, false pictures upon the purity of
this sensitive plate and hold himself
guiltless of the ruin wrought? Who
shall with impunity foul the fountain of
love, confuse the we'll of knowledge,
turn faith into doubt?
But who shall know the heart of a
child? Who may read the mind of a
child? Who sound the crystal depths of
the fountain of faith in the soul of a
child? Is this trinity in one and one in
trinity but a blank to be filled out like a
diary by the pencilings of people who
pass in and out of the life of a child?
Or are there not invisible upon this
spotless surface, traced in sympathetic
ink by Gods hand, certain writings that
will develop, legibly or blurred, to the
eye Of introspection according as the
heat and light of associations, environ
ment and enlightenment may fall upon
these unfolding pages?
In its development is the ego victim
of circumstances or the accident of OPP
portunity? Would it be what it will be
anyhow without regard to outside infu-
ences? Is the ego in reality Il free moral
agent or is it the Duppet of parentalism.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf

ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inhamed you have rumb.
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result and unless the inilsmma-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
