~The earliest toys given children

was The statement made in 4 paper by
Mrs Theodore Thomas of Chicago
which was read by Mrs. Anna Harris
Of Boston before the recent. convention
Of the American Humane association
at the St Louis worlds fair says
special dispatch to the Chicago Trib-
une.
Children are trained iii the arts Of
cruelty declared the writer. Their
earliest toys generate ii them this spir-
it. one Of the first playthings given
a boy Is a whip, and as he rides his
play horse his mother urges him 10
whip the bad horse. A little later the
boy is presented with set of tin sol
diers, and with these he plays at the
cruel arts Of war. Then when the lad
goes our Of doors he receives a pop
gun, with which he amuses himself
killing birds and other innocent crea-
lures With the use Of these toys the
infliction of cruelty becomes pleas
ure.
Children are not By nature cruel.
but 1t is easy 10 make them 50 by Civ
Ing them toys which are to be employ
ed In the killing or the hurting Of in
nocent creatures. There is nothing bet
ter fitted for the wholesome develop
ment of the better traits in the charac-
ter Of child than care for the pro-
lection Of animals and the study OF
nature. Children are not brought up
to use their brains and their hands,
Another objection to the education
Of children is that they are given more
liberties than at their youthful age
they know how to employ.
1.-THE present general aim Of educa-
ton Is to make instruction interesting.
The teachers do the work, and the
children are relieved Of the effort of
learning. The children are trained to
enjoy themselves, and they learn TO
shirk the drudgery of learning.
Children are given too much unem-
pioyed time. They are not engaged on
healthful games. but outside school
hours they loiter around doorsteps
shooting birds and cats. A system Of
education should be devised which win
teach the children not only to better
employ their time, but to train them
to be kind to each other and to ant
mails +"
