coy HAD AN EXPLANATION.
Example Of the Original View Of
THINGS a Child May Take.

In their efforts to teach children,
writes Edwin ]. Prindle, In st. Mich
olas, parents are often surprised by
the original views which the young
sters take. and by their presentation
OF views which. while they may be but
partial. are at least correct and dis
eliminating SO far as they go.
1t occurred to father, who noticed
a carpenter hammering upon the root
Of distant house. that he would give
his little son 6 years old a lesson in
physics by calling attention to the fact
that the blows of the hammer could
be seen before the sound made by
them could be heard. and explaining
that the difference in time between
the seeing OF the blows and the hear.
ing of the noise was due to the fact
that light travels much faster than
sound. He sought to introduce the
subject by asking the boy IL he under
stood why 1t was that he could see
the hammer fall before he could hear
the noise of the stroke. He was as
tonished to receive the reply. Eyes;
it's because my eyes are nearer to the
hammer than my ears"
