Parents Duty in Training Children.

Elderly people will remember the
training received during their early
years. One precept thoroughly i'm
pressed upon their minds was their
duty OF unquestioning obedience to
parents. These elderly people now
realize that there is also companion
percept, the duty of parents to chill
dren, and this takes precedence of the
former precept. The child comes to
the care OF his parents not by his own
volltion and helplessness and unknow
ing. He has at the same time dis
tinct individuality. Certain traits of
character are bora with him. and as
he grows mentally aud physically he
develops these traits.
The swing of the pendulum has ia
ken Us far from the old time rigorous
dictatorial training. to no training at
all. Men and women who suffered the
results of the former seventies. re-
solved that their children should not
suffer. They went too far in the OBJ
posite direction and gave their chill
dren no training at all. The effect of
this method is even worse than the old
way. In that, a certain respect for
law and for authority was fostered.
through respect for parents In mod
ern, ''go-as-you- please" way, the child
comes to respect nothing, neither law.
parents nor self. All that the child
knows OF life has to be learned by ex-

On Monday. February 18th, the
president will speak at the Lincoln dav
banquet of the Republican club of New
York and the following night at the
Hungarian club also in New York.
The engagement for this dinner was
made when Theodore Roosevelt was
Governor of New York Someone at
banquet of the club, laughingly said
"When you are president of the
United States you will not come to our
dinner" Roosevelt replied "When I
am president | shall come to the Hun

After returning to Washington and
spending few days in work aud in

to take part in the celebration of
Washington's birthday arranged by
the University Of Pennsylvania. He
will make speech on the life and
ACHE vements of Washington, which
may not add much to the Information

tainly be OF interest for it's treatment
Of subjects not mentioned in the title.
Following this he will deliver an
address on st. Patricks day before a
New York society and later he will 90
to San Antonio to attend the annual
reunion of his Rough Rider regiment.
These engagements together with the
active part the president takes in the
social life of Washing on would serve
to keep him busy for the entire winter
even though he did not have congress
on his hands
There is renewed agitation of an ex.
tra session of congress to deal with the
tariff question. The president is no
less determined that the Republican
party shall fulfill its pledges to reform
the tariff, made during the campaign
than be was before his election and the
''standpatters'' are apprehensive of an
extra session to be called in perhaps
sixty days after the adjournment on
March 4th. 1t is not agreeable to
many members of congress to remain
in Washington during the summer.
Many of the members prefer their lis
tricts; others have the mountains, the
seashore or Europe in view, but the
tariff question will not down and the
president is insistent that something
must be done.

How can one expect child to know

begins to talk. He can be taught
obedience from the time of his first

derstand nuch more than they often
get credit for, if it is pointed out to
them. They cannot be expected to
learn by intuition.
The lesson of obedience is an impor-
tant lesson to learn. Obedience in
cludes respect for authority; for law
through respect for parents. In learn

to lead him to right ways in his youth
The time to begin to train a child to
obedience is when he first exerts a

child's training is begun, the easier
for both him and his parent.
The child properly trained in child

The three compulsory education
bills-one by Senator Rayser, another

third by Representative Kershaw-are
along the same lines. The Rayser bill
