CHILD AS AN INDIVIDUAL.
The Schools Cannot Give the POis>
of Selfh0od to Developing
Characters.

The personal side of life is as i'm
portant as the social side. When sup
pressed it breaks out in riot which
lays waste the moral and Intellectual
forces. Too many instances will occur
to everyone to make it necessary to en-
phasize this fact. The world echoes
to the complaints of men and women
of genius whose individuality has been
in some way throttled by false claims
upon them. Few have attained a sane
and sweet possession Of selfhood while
fulfilling their duty to humanity. And
these few were either strengthened
early by benefcent influences within
the home, or they gained in maturity
through severe struggles the poise that
ought to have been established for them
in childhood. Only through the home,
only through the assistance of parents
adding to natural gifts of insight and
sympathy disciplined understanding,
can the-child properly develop his in
dividual nature. A complete education
must combine the community teaching
of the school with the individual teach
ing of the home. Let parents cease to

commit the care of their child to trained
instructors. Putting aside, as far as
they can be put aside, physical and
moral education, even Intellectual edu-
cation itself depends for its best inter-
ests largely upon parents. For mental
activity starts from feeling, and all the
higher thoughts which may come to
us as the result of knowledge and ex-
perience have their springs deep down
in our emotional life. What we learn to
admire in childhood becomes uncon-
sciously the object of our ambition in
maturity; and as will is merely a wish
turned into an act, and our ultimate
character is the result of willing, it is
evident that the most powerful agents
Of our destiny are those which arouse
within the infant mind those desires
which are to pass into the motive pow

There are many Joneses in this world
