truth namely, that there is no greater falacy
going than the legend of the 'self-nade man"
None of us is se1f-rnade. There has been a
self-1nade man or woman. We all need much making
at the hands of various persons; and the first of
these persons is the mother If the science of
success, lie, energetcs, had been made serious
study people would long since have found out
that the individual is helpless as an indi-
vidual stone. What want, and must have, or
ton, any other factor of friendly lift in shape
or another To some man, his own wife acts as
such; to another, his child, or rather the love of
his child But when get it in the first period
of lives at the hands of mothers, we have
won thereby enormous leverage competitors.
To try to make up for the influence of the mother
by Societies of Temperance, Societies of Blue
or Green Hope" Unions" of this, that or another,
is like giving hungry menu nicely printed
veum, instead of savory sir1oin. 1t is sham.
Give mothers and shall secure you success.
When France at her worst in the Middle Ages,
young woman, Joan of Arc, saved her. This
goes through the whole of life. Each of us must
have Joan of Arc; and thrice blessed he who
has her in the shape of true mother! 1t is
perfectly true that the Greeks in many of their
States did not allow their to exert much of
a mothers influence. 1t is equally true that the
wiser. With them the mother had long and
deep influence, and as long as they had Cornelas
they also had Gracchi
Any woman in Great Britain America who
wants her son to be successful ought therefore to
devote all her energy and tenderness to the first
ten years of her sons; and not only to rely
the education he will receive from ten to twenty
in the public schools. Waterloos in life won,
not at school, but in the nursery.

ing on good will energy. 1t is the influence
of the mother.
One of the most melancholy facts is certainly
this that sadly handicapped in the selec-
ton of our mothers. And yet, when one comes to
think of it much, very much, in life depends
which have SO little to say. Whether it be true
no, that he alone is the perfect man who unites
in him both vire and female qualities, it remains
certain that the deep and a1l-pervadng influence
of a mother has at all times shaped or helped to
shape, the destinies of individuals.
The influence of women which has always been
exceedingly great in all the spheres of public or
private life, is supreme in the home. At any rate,
it ought to be so. The active mental and emotional
machinery of women is markedly different from
that of and it precisely the peculiar intellect
of women which, when duly transmitted to young
man, will enable him to do remarkable things. 1t
likely to inherit their gifts of intellect from their
mothers. The philosopher Schopenhauer goes so
far to maintain, that this is the reason why
women do not for intellectual men, For, he
SAYS since the child to inherit its intellect
from the mother, the latter instnctivey does not
trouble about intellect in man, and cares for only
such bodily and other features as will be transmitted
from the father and not from the mother to the
child
Perhaps Schopenhauer was mistaken; and it
may be commonly observed that children inherit
more intellectual and moral features from side
relatives, such aunts and unces, than directly
from parents Yet it cannot be overlooked that the
influence of the mother from the first day to the
ninth or tenth year of ones life, is immense. The
Greeks paid much attention to this critical period;
and in many Greek State they had an elaborate
system of legislation how to bring up children,

Life's Critical Period

THE period from the first year to the tenth is in
many ways the most critical of our life. If the
right beginning is not made during that time, it
will be more than difficult to make UP for the loss
incurred by education in subsequent years. Our
memory, imagination, Our love of work,
health and several other factors of in life
depend on what has been done for in the first
ten years OF our existence This again, depends
almost exclusively on the action of the mother;
and, sad and disagreeable it may be to utter
such thing, it is true that the astounding number
of individual failures both in Great Britain and in
America is due mainly to the neglect of sons edu
cation from the first year to the tenth.
For, must not deceive ourselves, while both
Great Britain and the United States are as coun-
tries as totals remarkable success, yet taking it
individually, of the highly civilized Western
countries in Europe suffers from SO great a per-
centage of waste and wastrel as do the United
Kingdom and the States. By this is meant not
only the appalling number of absolute paupers in
both countries; although it is almost uncomfortable
how the States with territory and natural wealth
sufficient to maintain three to four hundred million
people, should have so many paupers in population
of less than one hundred millions. What is meant
is chiefly persons who, without being exactly
paupers, have made of their lives The
number of such persons both in England and
the United States is in the better classes much

Those Who Become Deaf
PUT how about those who have become deaf after
- they have learned to speak? Shall they be shut
off from conversation with their friends unless they
carry a pad about with them which everything
has to be written? Must they forswear English and
learn the sign language, consorting only with the
non-hearing?

VII. INFLUENCE
OF THE MOTHER

under the mothers influence from the first year
to the tenth The following remarks, then, appeal
more to mothers, than to sons or daughters

decent behavior, to cleanliness to moderation in
eating and drinking, and to dutifully performing
all that he promised expected to do. All
this, however, she can do only by loving her home,
her son. up his fourteenth year. under her im1ne-
date superintendent 1t is mothers like that who
have made many of the most successful men of
the world. A history of mothers has not yet been
written. 1t is of the most important chapters
of history. Perhaps this is why it has not yet been
written.

the pop, and it becomes B, different letter in
the printing and writing, but the same in visible
speech as P except that it has a voice mark
through it.. For all the voiced sounds like and
T. and as in azure, and TIL in father, he has to
learn new writing and printing letters but the old
visible speech letters will do if he draws a voice
mark through them.
You perhaps noticed that the teacher puts the
boys hand on her chin, not her throat, to direct
his attention to the voice To think at all of the
throat in singing speaking is to tighten it so that
ugly sounds emitted The deaf have unpleasant
enough tones without making them any worse.
Also the teacher has to be careful to explode the
consonant without any novels. Not Ka, but K.
Unless she does that her pupil will say "sikkus "
instead of :" six"
The other consonants and novels taught in
the same patient, painstaking way, line upon line,
precept upon precept, and words are taught with
them. The little girl of six, struggling with the
fourth amusement on the piano, goes so slowly and
makes so many mistakes that it is hard to recog-
nize the tune now but y come along some day
about ten years from now, after Gladys has prac-
tised two hours every day except Sundays, and you
will find her glib in her performance. Little Johnny,
who now proudly if slowly enunciates, Ah-eeee
10000 too-oo suk -koo-will-ll, ~ when he means,
90 to school," will acquire technic and repertory
of words and ideas with greater and greater rapdity
as he gets so that he speak with hearing chill
dren and can tell what they saying by the mo-
ton of their lips.

Initiating the Sounds

DERHAPS he will hear little better too, for part
of his education is to have the teacher put one fun
mel of speaking tube his Chat directs the
and stimulates the dormant nerves into activity,
while into the other funnel she makes sounds,
fully covering her mouth that the sharp young
eyes cannot her lips. He has to try to initiate
the strange things he hears AS the boy grows,

Humanity Has Reason to Be Proud

THERE are occasions when are inclined to think
rather meanly of the human race; but think we
have right to be pretty proud of ourselves, con-
sdering what have done. We are bestial some
times, l grant; but oh, there is that in that
is God-lke! The uncomfortable persistency in the
effort help fellowmen in the face of the most
discouraging difficulties, the and die

wonders as teaching the deaf to speakLthats
