The imperative cry of childhood is
for something to do. Therefore, so
soon as the little one energies from
the dawning mists Of babyhood and be-
comes an Independent pefOnage, with
exactiOns and demands that are to be
met, the kindergarten should open for
it a new world. In the multiform
plays and tasks of the kindergarten,
with the little tables where clay may
be nodded and beads may be strung,
and patterns pricked into papers with
pins q child steps into a fascinating
realm of its own. Children who are
carefully taught in kindergarten and
who are allowed plenty of time for
outdoor play, who are healthfuIly ac-
tive all day and who go to bed early
at night. are not in much danger of
becoming Objectionable little pitchers.
For the childrens own sake, they
should not too early have burdens laid
upon them that they cannot bear. A
woman who has children of her own
told me that when she was a little
thing of she was in the room when
her parents were somewhat exercised
over the payment of a large bill. II
have absolutely no money to meet it, "
declared the rather For days there
after the child shuddered whenever
she saw a strange man turn in at the
gate, and she was afriad that some
dreadful thing was about to happen
in her home long after her light-heart-
ed father and mother had forgotten
all about their transient embarrass-
ment.
The whole business of bringing up
children bristIes with difficulty. If
only we could be perfect beings our
selves the undertaking would not be
so arduous. But we make so many
plumbers, we are so ready to leave
undone what we ought to do, and to do
what we ought not to do. that our
children have a pretty hard time in
their turn. Somehow they scramble
up in spite of our mistakes. Heredity
has a good deal to do with their sue
cess or failure. It is a great thing

ON LITTLE PITCHERS"
By MARGARET e. sANesTER.

keep your little pitchers in the nursery
out of sight and hearing of your de-
ceit. All the precept in the world will
not make children truthful If they
have object lessons in lying set before
their eyes.
Not a great while ago. a beautiful,
gOlden-haiTed little boy, scarcely four,
startled his mother by calmly uttering
an oath in the middle of his play.
why. Harry" exclaimed the mother,
in dismay. Where did you hear such
q word? Do you not know that it is
very, very wicked to use such words
as that?"
why" said the child, with honest
eyes fixed on her face cit can't be so
very wrong. Father and Uncle Fred
often speak in that way"
Children are creatures of imitation
The wors they hear they repeat. Evil
is not evolved from the recesses of
their own hearts. 1t comes upon them
as part Of the stain and soil of the
world in which they live.
A great deal of harm is done to chill
dren when they are left in the care
of irresponsible and incompetent hire
lings. A mother careful of every
breath her child draws, sometimes
seeks for it a nurse who is foreign
born, with the very laudable desire to
accustOm the child's ear and tongue
to French, or German, or italian, so
that 1t may acquire the other language
side by side with its native English.
Unless the mother obtains for the
child a nurse who is pure-minded and
sufficiently well educated to speak her
own tongue with precision, she may be
doing the child great injury. 1t is
no advantage TO infancy to learn a
corrupt and barbarous patois, instead
of pure and elegant language. If, in
addition, the nurse be rough and un-
tutored. and without scrupIes of a
conscientious order. the little pitcher
will very probably be filled to the brim

George AIDE was telling about some
buildings that had collapsed. half fin
ished in Chicago.
''They We're put up" said Mr.. AIDE, by
builders of a type too familiar to US in
America. ..
Il once heard Of two of these builders
who, over a glass of beer, met and talked
together like this:
g Jones, you always have better luck
than me-.

Why, how else do you account for

parents. Training tells, too, but only
as we train ourselves do we ever sue

Little Lilly and Josephine may be told
all day long that it makes no difference

tween the ages of and II, relate
with positive glee a story of gains
that he had made through overreach-
ing another in a business transaction.
The little pitchers had big ears. They
drank in the shameful tale. 1t would
be too much to expect that later on
they should go forth into life with a
noble standard and a high ideal of in
tegrity.
II don't care what sort Of men my
boys make, so long as they learn to
make money and keep it, said an
other father In the hearing of his sons.
Not one of those boys turned out even
decently, when he arrived at manhood.
To make money and to keep it is too
low an ideal to be set before a grow
ing youth.
Look cut for the little pitchers It
is worth while.

bushy white eyebrows and bright blue
eyes, who would come occasionally to
visit his father and mother, and who
was the terror of the servants. He,
however, was very kind to Tom, and,
indeed, was intensely fond of, and

Nothing stamps a home more surely
as sweet and refined than entire con-
fidence between parents and children.
Still, in every household matters come

HITS AND MRS.

This seems to be about the right
time to say a few words about school
discipline. This week the school
houses all over the state are filling up
like a tin pail at milking time. The
swimming hole is TO- empty and the
pony's saddle is hanging on a peg in
the harness room. The boys are at
school turning the heavy leaves of
biographies and prying knowledge
out of the arithmetic. Two years ago
in a South Dakota town, a tall boy
with a jaw like a monkey wrench, an
the school. The superintendent and
janitor logged around as though they
were out in a hail storm. The boy
showed the scenes around at the opera
house at night and the scholars and
teachers at the high school during the
day. The hospital was often indebted
to him for a case and when nothing
better showed up he made a dent in
the side of the school house with his
fist. The first of last year a new sup
erintendent was engaged and the head
thumper gave it out that he was his
meat. The new man did not know
anything about the threat, but went
on experimenting in a quiet and
peaceful manner, when the principal
informed him that the young man in
question was running her department
and that she was obliged to go down
the fire escape to get out of the way OF
his ~abusiveness. The. superintendent
dropped into her room and the boy
was at the board. His teacher told
him to erase his work and resume his
seat; he put a piece of chalk in front
of the eraser and made a sweep across
the blackboard and of course left a
long white line; repeating the effort
he still had the line. The teacher,
bold under the protection of the sup
erintendent, attempted to take the era
ser from him. He grabbed her and
rudely sent her spinning on the floor.
The new nan had seen enough, He
advanced with a jump over two desks,
grabbed the thumper by the back OF
the neck and turned him around. The
boy struck at him viciously, but the
head of the schools neatly ducked,
and the tough's face was the recipient
of a slap, which sounded good to the
teacher but made the boy mad and he
vainly attempted to smash the new
man, but it was no use. He was or.
dered to the Office and in the presence
of the %janitor was invited to go down
into the basement and fight it out mar
to man. Before getting into the office
the superintendent had found in nee
essary to down the pupil on the fool
and choke a little sense into him an(
the invitation to the basement exer
cises were promptly declined. Thu
boy was back to his Don neatl,
washed up in the janitor's tin wasl
dish: his hair a cOmbed and thu
spirit of rebellion had left him. Thu
matter would have ended there hat
not the pupils told at home how tn
new superintendent was killing a DO.
and a big Swede, who worked in tn
stone quarry, called at the schoo
house the next night to lick him. H
rode up on a bicycle and met his ma
just leaving the school building. H
