united to girls only: First-Would you
rather be- when grown, man or woman?
Second-Whom would you like to resem-
BILE if you had your choice?" To the
credit of German teachers, those having
charge of So per cent of the enrolment,
refused to place the questions before the
children; to the greater credit of the chill
dren of the remaining 48 per cent, there
was not one who did not wish to grow up
a woman, and to the credit of the home
and church influence every child desired,
In her own person, to fulfill those duties
that she owed to society and to God
Your readers will agree, am sure, to the
proposition that the questions were in
eXcusably impertinent and vicious, but
we can almost forgive the teachers who
submitted them because of the answers
that they called forth. No teacher has
the right to trif1e with the destiny of
child in any such irreVerent Wav as this
ana yet L fear if those questions had been
submitted to American children, the an
swers would not have been so uniformly
ccmmendable. Again the desire to make
instruction concrete and ''practical''
has led many children to stumble not
because such attempts are wrong, but be-
cause they are perverted. There are no
schools or teachers or courses of study
that, in and of themselves, and as direct
agents are going to control children in
their conduct in life or their quest of for
tune. The elements Of the civilization in
which the child lives must enter into his
character and determine his. progress
And this progress, this insenSible infil-
tration Of ideas proceeds, from example,
from conscious and an intentional irni-
tation, by a sort OF moral contagion,
which propagating itself by degrees, ends
by winning over all intelligent minds"
All things that tend to draw children 8
minds away from the proper considera-
ton of those matters that must be suit
ably studied and properly adjusted
whereby the true condition of their eX-
istence is realized are most unfortunate
and tend to lessen the value Of life even
to young children. A J. Smith
