TEACHING NEATNESS.
The Method Adopted and Found Sue
cessful by One Mother in Deal
ing with Children.

1t Is difficult. as everyone who tries 1t
knows, to teach children to keep their
belongings in order, or to be careful
and neat; but when once the habit OF
neatness is inculcated, it is Of inestima-
BILE value to the boy or girl in his or her
future life, and well worth all the
trouble incurred
An ingenious mother thought out an
excellent plan. She made 1t an uralter-
able rule that there should be n place
for everything and everything kept in
its place Whenever any of the family
found anything belonging to another
member of 1t out of place, they we're at
liberty to put it in "chancery." The
chancery was room, kept locked, and
presided over by the mother. Every ar
ticle entering there called for one penny
to effect its release. At first caps, states,
pencils, slippers came teeming in, and
following them the pennies for release,
and these formed fund for purchasing
something to promote tidiness-such as
waste paper baskets, paper racks, Slip
per cases, and soon. Soon, by firmly ad-
herring to the rule OF demanding the
ransom money, thecarticles coming into
chancery decreased, and the lesson was
thoroughly taught to all the children,
from the oldest ones away at college to
the little maid of four years of age at
home, and mothers right hand"
| Outside the chancery door there hung a
slate with a pencil attached, and when
any article was confscated the date was
noted.
Acertain time fixed for their detention
was wise forethought, for if the little
articles or toys must remain in chancery
three or four days or week, their little
owners will think more of being de-
priyed of their treasures than even OF
paying the necessary penny to release
them; and the toy comes out again with
certain freshness that makes it doubly
attractive.
Both parents should always remem-
Der that they must set a good example
and the servantS should always be in
structed to remember neatness as abso
lutely imperative. Children are very
quick at detecting inconsistencies, anC
would notice at once the fact that theil
elders were not practicing what they
were so sternly preaching.-Americar
