of children? Yet how common it is.
So common, indeed, that it has become
a proverb that "One parent will sup
port ten children better than ten chill
dren will support one parent" 1t is
a shame 1t is the fault of their train
ing. 1t is our fault.
The lack of interest shown by many
parents in their childrens school is
one of the wonders of the present day
Many seem to think that the school
life consists entirely of recitations, and
that it is merely for this purpose that
children go to school. This is a very
small and the least important part of
their training. If it were the most i'm
portant part, parents might be ex-
cused for their lack Of interest. There
might then be some excuse for not pay
ing the poor teacher such a salary as
would enable her to live as she should
and improve herself as she would.
The teachers moral influence is by
far her most important influence. What
have you done to make certain that it
is what it should be? How often have
you visited the teacher, unless to tell
her how much you don't think of her,
or to make some complaint? If you
have found a worthy teacher and are
pleased with your child's progress,
what have you done to encourage her?
How often have you told the principal
or a member of the Board of Education
what good work she is doing. and what
an. outrage you think it is to pay so

were daring tobogganists; the undu-
lating common makes them sad because
they can no longer handle a golf club;
by the riverside they sit down and tell
you Of the salmon they caught before
they caught rheumatic fever; birds only
make them long for guns; music raises
visions of the local cricket match of
long ago enlivened by the local band;
a picturesque estaminet with little ia
bles spread out under the vines recalls
bitter memories of ping-pong. One is
sorry for them but their conversation
is not eXhilarating. The man who has
other interests in life beyond sport is
apt to find their "reminiscences monot-
onous; while to each other they do not
care TO talk; one gathers that they do
not altogether believe one another The
foreigner is taking kindly to our sports;
one hopes he viii be forewarned by our
example and not overdo the thing. At
present one is bound TO admit he shows
no sign Of taking sport too seriously.
Football is gaining favor more and
more throughout Europe But yet the
Frenchman has not got it out of his
head that the coup TO practice is kick
ing the ball high into the air and catch
ing ii upon his head. He would rather
catch the ball upon his head than score
a goal If he can maneuver the bali
away into a corner, kick it up into the
air twice running, and each time catch
it on his head, he does not seem to care

and run on with them round the courts,
followed by whooping claimants. In the
course of half an hour or so, when
everybody is dead beat, the game-the
original game-is resumed. You de-
mand the score; your partner promptly
says it is orty-fifteen. Both your op-
ponents rush up to the set and appar-
emily there is going to be a duel. 1t
is only friendly alteration; they very
much doubt it's being forty-fifteen. Fif-
teen-forty they could believe; they sug-
gest 1t as a compromise; the discussion
is concluded by calling it deuce. AS it
is rare for a game to proceed without
some such incident, occurring in the
middle of 1t, the score generally is
deuce. This avoids heartburning; no
body wins set and nobody loses. The
one game generally suffices for the
afternoon. To the earnest player 1t is
also confusing to occasionally miss your
partner-to turn around and find he is
talking to man. Nobody but yourself
takes the slightest objection Of his alb
sence. The other side appears to regard
it as a good opportunity to score. Five
minutes later he resumes the game.
His friend comes with him, also the
dog Of his friend. The dog is welcomed
with enthusiasm: all balls are return

you do not get a look in. But all this

little for the services of one who is do
ing such a grand work IN molding for
veal or woe the lives of so many pre-
cious little ones? Are you one of those
ever ready to find fault? Does it not
keep you busy managing two or three
children Of your own? How would you
like to undertake the care and training
OF from forty to sixty belonging to
some other people who don't care
enough about their children to ask who
their teacher is? When finding fault
with a teacher do you ever stop to
think that at least ninety-nine out OF
every hundred teachers are better pre-
pared for the training of children than
are most parents? They have spent
years striving to learn how best to edu-
cate these precious children. How much
time does the average parent give to
this subject? Is it not just possible
that they know more about their work
than do most parents? Would it not,
therefore, be best for parents to try to
cooperate with the teachers!
Have you ever really tried to learn
how you can help the teacher so that
she might accomplish more for your
own dear child and those Of others :?
Do you ever believe what your child
says without hearing the other side of
the complaint? Should not parents and
teachers work together? If they pull
in opposite directions, will not the in
terest of the child remain stationary?
Before criticizing, will you not stop and

is the case, with little consideration.
The important thing Is to have the
right ideal.
We must not expect that each child
will be able to reach the high ideal we
have in mind. But this Is no reason
why we should rot work patiently and
persistently to secure the pest possible
results. What parent, looking into the
face Of the blue-eyed girl or the brown
eyed boy. can tell what strong passions
or what high moral qualities lie hidden
in that head or heart? There may be
the elements OF the criminal, OF the
orator, Of the sta sman. No matter
what these tendencies are, they are
subject to modification aud susceptible
to the influences which the parents can
exert. Every normal child Is capable
of endless improvement through. the
long years. OF life.
No parent can easily manage q child
until he has made a very careful exam
ination Of himself. Each one OF Us has
a number Of peculiarities which are
likely to reappear in our children, who
have learned or inherited them from
US; and they are also likely to deter
mine our methods Of managing others.
We must not forget that like pro-
duces like" Love awakens love. Harsh
ness excites harshness; anger. anger;
frankness, frankness- This seemingly
important fact is of the greatest value
in enabling us to properly train our
children. We must ever remember that
the surest and best way to produce
emotions or thoughts in our children
is to show these qualities in ourselves.
This is one Of the great secrets OF sue
cess in the management OF children

Y n the family where there are
brothers and sisters there is the
possibility Of a very happy life,
rich in JOY, fond associations and
great inspirations. To bring out all
these possibilities there is needed the

Is this field cultivated as it should be

The family where all children are

something lacking. No matter how

without boys there will be lacking the
manly, Strengthening influences. With

there not many homes where there

remember that the teachers work is
very difficult at best? 1t is probable
that your child's teacher is making
the work more interesting and profit
able than any teacher to whom you
have ever gone; for the schools of to-
day are infinitely better than they
were twenty-five years ago.
Have you ever criticized the teacher
in the presence of your child? If you
do, are you aware of the fact that you
are injuring your child a hundred
times as much as you are injuring the
teacher? When he finds he can depend
upon you he will say the teacher has
a "pick at him." 1t is quite natural
that you should believe his story. But
should you not investigate before let
ting him have his own way about
leaving school? On your way down the
street, watch for other boys whose par
ents believed that they were picked
