nent advantage of this little girl If her
mother, bottling her pride, had pun
ished her then and there, following the
example of a well known clergyman,
who. when his son acted in public in a
| similar manner, restrained his wild
spirit and restored him to ways OF
rectitude by administering sound
sparkling then and there. 1t was of
course dOubly humiliating to the child
and not particularly pleasant for the
parent but it is a matter of record that
the youngstcr. who has now grown into
a most exemplary young man, was
never obliged to undergo d similar eX-
pcrience. Peggy Quincy" declares
| that a. great many mothers should be
soundly spanked themselves for the
way they rear their children and

avengIng angel should do his full duty,
great many fathers could scarcely

Of Luther Burbank, the flower and
plant wizard, in his recent book on ''The
Training Of the Human Plant" are of
interest He declares that to develop
a child best qualities he must be sur
rounded by lovableness, sunshine and
the good example that will stimulate
and inspire him to healthy growth and
development. AL. this amounts prac-
tical:y t. the assertion that a child
should be surrounded with the best
possible influences, physical, mental,
ard moral. This is undoubtedly true
but the necessity of all this has been
recognized from the very dawn of
civilization itself, and constitutes no
new discovery on the part of Mr.. Bur-
bank. The rigid discipline that grew
out Of the austerity and dignity, yea
veneration, that was part of the very
atmosphere Of the old New England
home Went hand in hand with the in
fuences that made for thrift, for
sObriety. for sClf-control and for the
love of God that has always been a
characteristic of New England man
hood and womanhood.
Are we turning away from the old
teachings and the old methods? Will
the rising generation be wanting in
strength of purpose and moral fibre
through ovcr-indulgcnce and lack of
discipline? These are grave questions
that are attracting more and more at
tention from thoughtful citizens and
public educators. They are questions
that each parent must carefully con-
slider for himself. No two children
same dispositions or the same physical
mental and moral attributes. An in
finite variety in the characteristics that
combine to make up each individual Of
the race is a part of Gods plan and
purpose. No two children can be de-
veloped to advantage along precisely
the Same lines. Wise parents rccog-
niZe the necessity Of adapting them
selves to individual differences in tenn
permanent in dealing with their children
and no authority, however experienced,
can Law down hard and fast rules that
will fit any great number of cases. The
problem is one that must be worked
out in patience and in love by parents
themselves, and it will be to the dis
advantage Of themselves and their
children if they fall short in these
qualities Of firmness which experience
has shown to be- in the great majority
Of cases, essential to the best results.

girls, reaches an active condition in
brides and arrives at it's most virulent
stage between the tenth and the TWEEN
ty-ffth year OF married life. A small,
delicate, slight, nervous, sensitive wo-
man who would faint away at an
empty mouse trap will 60 through the
shopping district in from two to seven
hours and come out refreshed and sus-
taihed by an unfaltering trust if her
husbands credit is good. while that
gentleman ut the end of forty-five min
utes has to be carried home on a
stretcher. Some women are born shop
pers. others achieve it, but not one Of
them has 1t thrust upon her. Shopping
is extensively practiced on week days,
beginning on Monday with rush and
ending OH Saturday in time for the
opera 1t promotes industry. Without
it married men would have time to
