! Such reading awakens a love for and

| finds that she knows her England and
! a little of France without ever
thought of toll or study in connection
/ with them.
Vacation stories.
| s"Many other things can be equally
| easily taught. In summer vacations
take Maeterlncks Life of the Bee" or
| Comstocks Insect Life or Blanch
ards Bird Neighbours" ar: go out
into the woods and fields. and in a week
you and the child are equally absorbed
and delighted in studying nature, and
a new interest is added to its life. To
educate a child is not to stuff him with
| facts it is rather to stimulate his curl
| osity and interest and then to show
him the way to crafty them. First
make him want to know, then teach
him how to find out, and half your
| work is done. All children love to read
if they are properly helped at first
! by being read to and talked
to about books, If difficult words
! and ideas are explained, and
| suggestions given, and jokes pointed
out. A very little guidance of this kind
+ is enough. l would suggest to the
| young mother that the twilight hour 8
good, time to give to the children's
reading. They are tired of play and
/ ready to be still, and if mother will
/ have a regular hour just before tea to
go into the nursery and take the tiny
boy or girl into her lap with the older
ones close by, to rock and read and
talk, that hour will soon come to be
thought the best in the day, and to be
excluded from it, the worst of punish
ments. The enjoyment of such pleas
ures together is a strong tie between
mother and child, drawing them very
closely together. In the laughter and
tears over books they learn to know
and love each other better. and such
dear intercourse will more than repay
a mother in the end for any thing she
may have to give up, in keeping the
/ "Children's Hour" sacred to them.
! Read with your children, teach them
to love good books, and good people in
books, and every hero and heroine
shall be an incentive TO do right, an
! example for them to follow and when
after years shall take them away from
home and mother, who can say that
amid the temptations of college, bust
ness or pleasure, such memories of hap
py hours together may not prove the
your boy or girl to the straight and
I narrow path, when the broad road that
/ leads to destruction opens tempting
before them.
