Precoclous Children.

All those intrusted with the care OF
the young are faced by a grave prob
lem In the case Of children who inherit
or display precocity. The guiding to
maturity OF the simple, normal child,
who passes naturally from stage to
stage of its development, is compar-
atively easy matter. The trouble Is
largely that the nature of precocity
is not understood. Most parents, for
example, hail the signs of it with de-
light, and do all they can to foster
them. They treat preoocity as gold
mine, to be worked for all 1t is
WORTH" but here they make a great
mistake. There are several types OF
precocious children, presenting vary
ing degrees of peril to the training
system, and this peril is greatly
lessened by a capacity to classify the
types. There are certain children,
born OF healthy and intellectual stock,
with fine physiques. They inherit
usually very active nerve-centers,
which imply, among other things,
quick and eager brain processes.
These children are hailed with justice
as the legitimate Towering of their
heredity, and then all concerned, In
Guiding, of course, the poor child it.
self, hasten to work havoc with the
fair prospect by cruel and short
sighted system Of forcing. These chill
dren, being naturally strong and well,
can bear an enormous amount Of the
system without breaking down, but
they do not make the men and women
they would have made under wise re-
straint. They should be kept much
with other children, noticed little by
their elders, interested in physical pur-
suits, and nodded into symmetry by
persistent holding back. There may
not be much wrong with the child
who reads the Greek Testament at
four years of age, but there is certain
ly something wrong with the parents
who let him. There is another very
different type of precocious children,
says the Youths Companion. These
are the offspring often of equity or tu-
berculous parents, and inherit, if not
actual disease, at least faulty ply
siques. They are often beautiful, en-
gaging children of great mental bril-
lance. They often have phenomenal
memories which are developed at the
expense of all other mental faculties.
They are not physically strong enough
for any sustained effort, and after a
brilliant childhood they exhaust them
selves and become commonplace.
These children should be made to lead
physical lives, every effort being di-
rected to form good constitution. A
country life is almost necessity in
their case, and the mental develop
ment should be made as gradual as
possible.
