by the training which the child receives,
and the future OF no child is more absolute
ly in the keeping of its father and mother
than Is that OF the nervous child. BY in
judicious treatment such a child may be
made TO grow up a physical and moral
wreck, at odds with all the world. while
under wise management il may develop into

There are two types of nervous children

quisitive and acquisitive, but delicate as
the mimosa leaf, shrinking back into itself
at the first repulse o. harsh word; and the
pale, quiet, sensitive child. intelligent and
thoughtful. but retiring. The child OF the
first type develops into the inventor, the
active philanthropist, the promoter. thu
schemer, the advsnturer. or the leader OF
criminals. according as his training has
been wise or foolish. The child OF the sec
ond type becomes the philosopher, the
thinker, the man OF letters. the poet. or
the misanthrope. the sour recluse. and the
plotter against. society and government.
One great mistake in training a nervous
child Is TO try to strengthen the nerves by
opposition. A nervous child must be guided.

According to a brief dispatch from the
Delaware County Teachers Institute. Pro-
lessor Holland. Of the Louisville High
School, addressed the teachers on
the subject of literature and sternly de-
nounced the sentimental novel. In the alb
sence of further particulars this denuncia-
ton arouses curiosity. Presumably the
as literature unsuitable for teachers: be-
cause, Of course, if sentimental novels are
inherently evil they should be avoided by
the instructors Of youth. Presumably, also,
what the Louisville professor means by the
sentimental novel is the class of produc-
tons commonly known as love stories. But
why are love stories necessarily objection
able, and why should teachers be warned
against them? Love is not unknown as an
element in Kentucky life. James Lane Allen
finds It there, and the countless young
couples who fee from Louisville's inhospit-
able shores to the Jacksonville Gretna
Green offer further proofs Of its existence
in Professor Hollands State and town. TIL
professor can hardly deny that in actual
life it helps to make the world go round, and
is to be encouraged and approved within
due limits. Surely he would not fix these
limits at a line that would exclude teachers.
1t must be that it is only in fiction that
sentiment" becomes offensive i'm his eyes.
But why? Surely a vast proportion of the
sentiment set forth is SO innocuous that it
might be warranted not to harm the most
susceptible teacher. AS for the warmer va
rieties that occasionally find expression
sometimes in Kentucky-are not young
women capable of training obstreperous
youth in the way 1t should go made of stuff
stern enough to indulge in the most ardent
of love stories without abating a lot of
their professional earnestness? And are not
teachers entitled to relaxation and relief?
He is a presumptuous man who would deny
to a teacher who has spent the long day in
moral, mental, possibly physical. conflict
with half a hundred mothers darlings the
surcease from woe which may come from a
novel of whatever description. Tastes and
talents differ. Possibly Professor Holland
has reached that lofty impersonal plane
where works of the Imagination no longer
appeal to him-where only facts have
charm. Or, possibly, he finds joy in histori-
cal. or purpose" or problem novels. But
let him not think to impose his taste on
others. Teachers have their rights. Only a
few days ago the Journal felt called upon to
reprove the school authorities of Kansas for
having forbidden courtship among teachers
during the school year. To deprive Indiana
teachers of love stories is a move in the
same direction. However, it is not at all
likely that the Delaware county group will
take the injunctions Of the Louisville man
too seriously. If they were to present him,
next Christmas, with the accumulated SEN
timental novels they had read during the
school year up to that time, he would, per-
haps, be convinced Of the folly Of trying to
roll a canno ball up a steep hill. and
would also have a very respectable library.

Professor saintsbury is quoted as sayin

Professor Saintsbury is quoted as saying
that In his opinion the sixth and seventh
verses OF the eighth chapter Of SoIomon's
song form the best existing example of
absolutely perfect prose. These are the
verses: set me as a seal upon thine
heart. as a seal upon thine arm: for love
Is strong as death: jealousy Is cruel as the
grave; the Goals thereof are Goals of fire
which hath a most vehement flame. Many
waters cannot quench love. neither can
the floods drown it: If a man would give
all the substance OF his house for love it
would be utterly condemned" A familiar
passage. and beautiful. truly: but perhaps
most readers have classed It as poetry
rather than prose.
