helpful are the most happy.
Children managed in the right way
are quite proud and happy to do little
errands and wait on others and this
should be encouraged. Little errands,
fetching and carrying, and journeys
upstairs, as they get older, are sources
of pride and pleasure, and regular lit
tie duties, such as putting fathers slip
pers up in morning and out at night,
changing plates at luncheon or break
fast, are splendid training and great
delight.
Then they should be taught and en-
couraged to keep their own cupboards
and drawers or special shelf in cup
board very neat; to put away their
boots and gloves and outdoor things;
to lace their own boots and wait on
themselves generally. For this reason
each child should, as far as possible,
have Shelf cupboard, drawers, or chest
of drawers for itself, as you cannot
hold them responsible for the tidiness
OF those they only share. Children so
trained will become useful helpful men
and women, while those necessarily
waited on and with everything done
for them will too likely be idle, help

1t is a pathetic truth that more chill
dren are spoiled by too much love
than by too little, or, rather, by love
shown in the wrong way.
So anxious is young mother to see
her little one happy, smiling and
amused that in quite early days she
often excites it with playing with it
and talking, tossing, ETC., when she
had far better let it rest and sleep.
The happiest and healthiest babies are
those accustomed from the very first to
lie on thick, warm rug on the floor,
cooling and growing to themselves and
not expecting to be picked up, nursed,
rocked, tossed and excited
And later on the happiest children
are those taught to wait on and "help

ing mother to put aside her work to
amuse them. 1t is neither wise nor
kind to SO wait on a childs pleasure
and to spend your time amusing a
little child, picking up it's ball, build

CHILDREN BORN BLIND

The startling charge that many New
York children are born blind in subter-
ranean apartments under great office
buildings in New York because their
mothers for years have never seen the
light of day is made by the Rev DIR.
David M. Steele, one of the curates of St
Bartholomew's parish. DR.. Steele saws:
How many know that some of the great
office buildings have under them apart
ments for fifty families, and that in these
families children are sometimes born
blind because their mothers for whole
years never see daylight? How MANY
know that on the roofs Of the buildings
there are families of janitors whose six
year-old children have never stepped
upon the ground?'' DR.. Steele is an au-
