DECEiVING THE YOUNG.

A public entertainer of third of a
century ago, gave as one of his regrets
The memory of having taught little
girl how to swear
A very profane man told how. when
small boy, men would hold him up
in their arms and teach him to swear
at his drunken father
A woman gives this report of an
experience she had when a girl and
left in charge of her home while her
parents took days trip.
The parents had provided another
and older girl from neighbor's home
to do the housewOrk. but told their
daughter not to leave the house except
to go to the near by postoftice for
the mail.
The daughter was not told why to
remain at home. SO when she was
continually urged to go to the woods
for flowers she went as she had fire.
quently done before.
On her return she found younger
daughter from the neighbor's sitting
in her own rocking chair. and as this
little girl was schoolmate she was
pleased to see her and asked her to
go out to play.
To her surprise the little visitor
refused and insisted on remaining in
the chair.
When mail time came the little girls
were told by the temporary housekeep-
er that they could go-one to her
home and the other for mail
Then the girl noticed that as she
went out with the big girls sister that
the little visitors skirts were sticking
out and she could hear the rattle OF
paper.
When older she understood the plot
of being sent to the woods for flow
erS and the peculiar actions of the
younger sister as visitor.
When parents and older brothers
and sisters use the little ones as medi-
ums for international error, where is
there chance for the little one to re-
cover their spirit of purity of pur-
pose?
Does there come time in every
life, no matter how far from the light
of wisdom 1t has been led or wan
dered. when it comes to path leading
to liberty?
Some claim that by means OF faith.
hope, observation. discrimination, de-
sire and comparison any person may
see better methods and follow them.
The personal interest of others who
fortunately speak or do the right
thing at the right time hasten the
right way being seen and followed.
An intense interest in better meth
DDS is the best remedy for undesirable
habits. and there are hundreds Of
ways by which people have become
interested in better methods.
The degree of the intensity Of the
interest in accuracy and best meth
DDS has much to do with success in
conquering. as some poor or undesir-
able methods resist the change more
than others or some people have more
of themselves to conquer, but the
greater the fight, the greater the pow
err to do when the victory is won.
Those imprisoned by incorrect edu-
cation may wish for escape but doubt
that it is possible. To those this may
be helpful-continued wishing if genu-
inc grows will power to conquer oc-
casionally, and by investing each VIC
tory regular success is reached.
Those cases on record of instantane-
Gus and complete and permanent vic
tory are the most hopeful of anything
in the world Why teachers who are
the liberators of those imprisoned by
| regretful education and environment,
do not know more about these escapes
| is question many have asked.
