ever conceive what flowers mean and
even say to girls. They see faces in

every trait of character in them. The

moral of ti1thiness; the eel. of slipperi-
ness: the OK, of strength; the serpent,

nearer to all these things than the
adult, and sometimes spontaneously
develops something that we must call
tOtelnlsm.
Some have made special studies on
the moral effects of nerves, on children's

of faults. Volumes have been written

sick periods of life of which the age of
five or six and of eighteen seem to be
most marked. We have learned that
these ages more prone to sickness, how
ever are favorable to life because, high
as the sickness curve is. that of mortality
is very low The single fact that the
first signs of the approach of grave and
constitutional diseases is seen in the loss
of flesh or arrest of growth in height and

the disease reveal themselves, is itself

These studies of older children are
slowly coming to condition almost every
thing in the field of primary education.
\ new wave of knowledge is creeping
up the ages. Adolescence is now more
or less understood, and therefore far
more interesting and more wisely treated
than ever before. Countless studies on
memory. reason, on the development
of attention. will, motor ability, deafness;
and control. on childrens ideals of what
they wish to become when they are
grown-ups, etc.-all this body of new
lore certainly makes parenthood larger
and more responsible function than it
ever hitherto was thought to be. If
these new insights undermine many
ancient errors or belief or practice, they
open far more resources to education

Indeed, | believe anyone of all these
topics has unique hunanistic interest
and influence, and they add much to the
resources not only of teachers, but of

is in their children. Much as has been
done, far more remains, and the triumphs
of these genetic studies, which are already

and studying the soul of man, are to be
far more brilliant and the signal in the
future than they have been in the past.
When we take a broad view of life is
there anything on earth that is more

than the body and soul of the healthful,
growing child, who is again set in Our

she approached Zangwill, and raising her
lorgnette, surveyed him. "Mr. Zangwill, 1"
