Train up the child in the way your
best Judgment would have him go.
Not long age in the hospital there
was a. poor wailing babe, months
old, suffering with a broken hip,
caused by fall from its cradle, and
in the wards of every children 8
hospital are small sufferers all the
way from 1 year to Z or s years old,
who bear their pain with a most touch
ing patience Marvellous is the self-re-
straint and goodness of these little chill
dren of the poor. whose mothers can
not take proper precautions. They must
go to work, leaving their little ones to
the care of inexperienced and needless
older children, and dreadful falls and
burns and ills come upon the helpless
babies.
It is a noble thing to train the chill
dren who have more in life to make
them happy, to divide their dolls and
toys and scrap books and puzzles with
the little sufferers.
Mothers who have lost their own be-
loved little ones can do NO more heav-
emily charity than to spend what the
child would have cost had it been spared
in paying the year s expenses of a cos
in the baby's ward.

rF A MOTHER thinks-and most
"A mothers do-that her child is one
of the seven wonders of the par
II ticular age in which he is living,
she is wise to practice self-re-
straint.. Spare this most iudieious
qualification and she spoils the child.
Parents put freshness in their chill
dren when the nursery holds them. and
when they grow to be young men and
women they are sent away to school to
have it taken out of them.
Automatic cleverness is unattractive
in a child and completely ruins him for
future years, for if he becomes conscious
then of the conceit bred in him it is
years of hard work and humiliating ex-
perience to overcome the defect, and if
he is unconscious Of it his troubles are
more and harder to bear.
Do not train the child to make
speeches to order. Do not "show him
OFF every time company comes. Teach
him to be seen and not heard tod much
Do not laugh at his reproofs. Do not
instil within him that he is cute, and
charming, and altogether lovely-quite
the fairest of all children-for some
times he will be forced to know that a
fearful mistake was made.
