A party telephone line Is responsible

Los Angeles herald., 1906-07-22

in his after life. These tales may also make him
irritable, and thus bad tempered.
His nurse makes no attempt to check his bad
passions; and so he grows up, proud, wilful
selfish, quick tempered and exceedingly difficult
to manage.
If he crosses her, she is apt to strike him pet
ulantly, and he, taking his cue from her, pro-
ceeds to hit her when she refuses to yield to his
desire He is thus brought up with no concep-
ton Of the chivalry due from to a
woman.
BY the time he is seven or eight he is as world
the sickness of the first stolen smoke. He is
not child but man in miniature.
As soon as he has learned to read, he has de-
voured Nick Carter as well the various story
papers and trashy novels that his nurse has left
lying around the nursery. He has spelled them
out with great care, and gotten the coachman,
who loves him for his ability to swear, to ex-
plain the hard words to him. Consequently,
when the governess has entirely superseded the
nurse and what might have been better era
has begun, he cannot be weaned from Nick Car
ter to Fenimore Cooper any other standard
literature. His nurse has formed his tastes not
only by the books she careessy left in his way,
but also by the entire influence of her person
atty.
She has formed his character, and has so in
huenced his development that the child placed
in her charge has become unprincipled head
strong man. He may even have developed a
vice. which is directly traceable either to her
neglect of him or to her active teachings.
But she was not the primary cause of his de-
generacy She was only the ignorant instrument
of careless mother who thought more of her
own pleasure than of her childs welfare.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-07-22

| Children most impressionable in their early
years; their brains as well as their bodies, de-
veop at this time, and in this changing condi-
ton, yield easily to whatever influence is domi-
nant.
| [ am passing the responsibility that often
falls upon the nurse for physical accident to
her charge, an accident which may cripple or de-
form the child for life. The nurse may be able
to prevent such an accident but she cannot con-
