Study What You Most Affect.

Scientists now acknowledge that edu-
cation has most effect upon mediocre
minds. 1t can do a great deal with
them, less for those that are defective
and still less for those highly endowed;
for talented persons, even though they
may receive all the usual courses of in
tellectual training, usually educate
themselves. They gain their most val
liable education through the exercise Of
their strongest faculties. Work Is their
tutor and self-dlrection their college.
Parents and tutors need to have q
care that their efforts to be helpful to
children do not interfere With the nat
ural development of their faculties.
This is sometimes done through not rec
ognizing their special abilities, quite
frequently from a wish to fix their des-
TIMES In accordance with some conven-
tional standard We should study the
individuality of our child from his
birth, so we may avoid a wasteful EN-
ployment of his energies in pursuits
that are alien to his disposition and for

the light may not come through and
STRIFE the lens Of the camera.
White and black paper will answer
as well as cloth. The camera must be
placed high enough on the tripod or
the hood be brought down low enough
so that no light from the upper sash
may fall upon the camera lens. If the
camera is placed directly in front Of
the window, the cloth covering the
lower sash will form the background Of
the portrait. If the sitter sits with his
side toward the window, a background
should be hung from the side of the
hood, coming down behind the sitter.
If at any time the light Is too strong
square Of white muslin can be pinned
across the base OF the hood above the
head of the sitter. This will diffuse
the light somewhat and temper it.

photographers cannot explain. One

there is third with 40. What does 1t
all amount to, anyway? Dry plates take
on rapidity with age, and a plate that
