up to an energy so desperate, that his

depressed. And now his limbs ache

10 guard our sons and daughters
from evil, or at least, to maintain at
the very core of their being an ally
against all communicating touch and
harmful counsel, let us win their con
hdence when they are little, cultivate
it as they grow up, and preserve it
always. There is no talisman more
magical, no better means of overcom-
ing the difficulties of education that
arise flom the changing age of our
children. AS time goes on, authority
is modified perforce. If you desire to
educate your children in freedom,
your authority must be felt less and
less, and at last efface itself altogeth-
er, Confidence, on the contrary, must
persist, How many parents do not
comprehend this Excellent at edu-
eating musings and guiding child
hood, they continue to treat their
children the same at all ages: they
steal away their power of initiative,
stitle their aspirations, and by the
very act of clinging to passing
authority, let perish confidence
which might have been constant Nor
is it enough to be resigned to seeing
the will and personal force of our
children establish themselves, we
should welcome with joy all the signs
of budding character, and, so far as
it can possibly be wise. give free play
to the spirit of independence and en-
terprise. Do not hinder the mans
being formed in the child. 10 the
somewhat feminine education of ten
derness and solicitude, of vigilance
perhaps over anxious and restrictive
of liberty, let the virile educator sue.
ceed, that education which is to forge
and temper the forces of children,
cultivates their resistance and their
combativeness and does not finch in
the face of their fatigues, their trials,
their difficulties, even their danger.
1t is at this price that men of mark
are fashioned, one of whom is worth
thousand lives of routine, mummi-
fed and sheeplike. And to mould
such character with its stamp of orig
inality-the sort of man whose need
is felt on all sides-nothing else
equals family life, especially when it
is simple and laborious. Here are
the normal conditions, the favorable
atmosphere, and no one he allowed to
interfere with the rights and happi-
ness of another. There must be no
drones in the home if it is to be a
perfectly happy place and there must
be no inordinate selfishness. An idle
person and a selfish person will dis
turb the peace of the whole family.
While there must be loyalty and uni
ty, there must also be great freedom
for the expression of personal tastes
and respect for individual activity.
The life of the world is strenuous,
and the door of the world should shut
out the storm and stress, but it should
not shut out new and wholesome, in
spring influences. 1t should stand
wide in hospitable welcome to friends
