One OF the few organizations which
withbolds membership from any candi-
date not willing to work. is the club for
the Study Of Child Nature, in New York.
The members are all mothers and have
vital interest in the subject Of child
study. During the twelve years that
the club has been in active operation
it never has held meeting outside Of
home. had formal lecture or in any
way courted publicity. The club was
started by three women who met once
week for the purpose of determining the
best stories to be read to children OF
various ages. Such inspiration was de-
rived from the authors studied that the
mothers determined to make personal
Investigations for themselves. Formed
thus originally for study. the club has
adhered faithfully to that principle.
each member interpreting for herself
the subjects treated in the textbooks
and comparing experiences with her
associates at the meetings. 1t confines
it's attention mainly to the ethics Of the
home rather than with the outside life
of children, with occasional discussion
OF subjects relating to the physical de-
velopment OF the little ones.
There is no member OF the club who
fails to prepare paper when her turn
comes around" said the club secretary.
"Some beg to be let off, pleading that
they can write nothing original, but
they are told that selections from ac-
credited authors will serve the purpose
and that paper is obligatory and inevi-
table. Certain women dropped out for
this reason. They were willing. even
glad. to listen to the papers and argu-
ments and profit thereby, but to take
active part in the proceedings was too
much for them.
"Others came to take their place and
insight into human nature is gained
through the association of opinions and
ideas of SO many minds all directed to
one line Of thought. We have fifty act
i've members and are assured of a subject
for a study which is inexhaustibe in in
terest and certain to attract members as
long as there are any mothers in the
world.
"Our motto is 'Altiora peto' Il seek
the higher), and We don't pretend to
criticize or overthrow the old methods
of doing, but to satisfy our own desire
to find the best.
In all the clubs meetings the purely
element is kept in the back
ground from considerations OF expedi-
ency; but a number OF The most inter-
esting subjects have developed from
questions put anonymously in the ques-
ton bag which had foundation in the
home circle Of the questioner.
The first book taken up for study
was Rousseau's Emile and out OF this
grew discussions on obedience, how the
true idea of property might be conveyed
to a child. and the distinction that
should be made between the property
that is the childs through being be-
slowed upon it and that which it has
itself After this TOPIC
there followed a prolonged discussion
relative to toys, the result being that
of the members resolved to
taboo extravagant or useless playthings

home and the social school life OF chill
dren up to the age when they are I'M
avoidably drawn into companionship
other than that Of the mother. The
club meetings are limited to an hour
and half, but frequently topics taken
up prove OF such engrossing nature
that the time is protracted unawares.
"Obstinacy. whether due to mental
incapacity or to sensitive temperament;
and the germ and nature of various
falsehoods, whether due to fear, love OF
gain or to exhuLersnt Imagination, are
subjects that have been looked into.
Another point that is in need Of settling
which is yet a subject OF debate is the
amount Of personal attention that a
mother should vouchsafe her child, the
question being: is it right that the
children should monopolize the mothers
attention to such an extent that other
members Of the family, the father, for
instance, may be at a disadvantage
therefrom; and does the time devoted
to young children stunt the natural
growth OF the motherY A topic that
aroused much interest one morning was
Should language be simplIfied to meet
the understanding of the child. or
should the child be elevated to feeling
of ease in an atmosphere Of refined lam
guageY
"Our fifty members are all workers
and women who take high rank in in
telligence and loyalty to the subject
undertaken. When the subjects recon-
noitered have widened out in manner
that demanded much more study than
was expected they have not shirked the
task. but pushed the investigation to the
furthest. Should the desire for the
right of franchise be inculcated in
and the influence of this
right on social conditions? was a sub
iect that involved much heated argu-
ment and much research for opinions
and sentiments to back up the respec-
tive views. "A child's natural interest
in questions relative to SEX and a
child's innate interest in religion ere
alec posers which involve a long trail OF
argument.
IF in looking up matter for papers on
topics member stumbles
On something concerning these mooted
points she treasures it up for relating at
the next meeting. And that opens the
discussion again. Even in regard to
subjects which we can't settle satisfac-
torily as body the discussions kindle
thought and are OF help to the individu-
Il mothers who had half formed conclu-
,iops in the matter.
The club members who have young
children are urged to keep journal Of
