How to Bring Up Yorr Daughter.
Unfortunately there is a type of moth
er who always seems TO think that a
daughter is always child and never
reaches an age of responsibility Poor,
crushed creatures these young women
are. Many of them dare hardly call
their souls their own. They are not al
lowed to choose their friends-the moth
ers see to that-and the consequence il
the girls are probably made to consort
with companions who have no tastes in
with them, and the unhappy
girls are deprived of one of girlhood's
greatest charms-congenial company.
But some mothers go a step further
than this; they will not allow daughters
to invite friends indoors. The girls are
allowed to attend at this house, that
house, and the next-house; but as for
inviting the girls of these houses in re-
turn, that they dare not do. Naturally
the unfortunate girls get talked about.
and IN time wear a crushed, disappoint-
ed look
The voting women are brought up in
such manner that male society is
looked upon as a positive sin! and the
years pass and they find out one day
that they are old maids, and nothing
more; but the mothers still keep tight
hold of the reins.
As for homework, why the mothers
won't trust them to do anything in this
line, and so they grow up useless in
every way.
What if the parents die? What be-
comes of these unhappy girls? They can
do nothing, and if the fathers die first,
and the mothers follow, and the girls are
unprovided for, their outlook is indeed
blank one.
A mothers duty is so to train a girl
that she will turn out a useful member
of society-one ready to take up the
duty of wife and mother; but if parents
persist in crushing daughters, and treat
ing them constantly as children, the girls
become failures in life, and through no
fault of their own. The natural tenden-
cies, the individual bent of mind, being
stunted, one can only expect the girls to
grow up insipid, sickly types of woman
hood.-New Orleans Pieayune.

The Teacher on Horseback.
The appointment of travelling teachers
is the novel method recently adopted by
the ministry of public instruction to COM
bar illiteraly in the Abruzzi.
The percentage of illiterates among the
of the Abruzzi has always
been very high. and recent statistics
SHOW indI uesp4le lHe IdCl lUdl many
schools have been opened in the towns
and villages within the last five years,
6S per cent. of the population is still
lliterate. The cause of this condition,
which is limited to the Abruzzi, was
explained.
The anti-clerical members of the board
IF education were convinced that the
clergy opposed elementary instruction
lest the peasants should lose their reli-
yious faith, while others put forth the
theory that the inhabitants of the Abruz
ii had been ignorant and unlettered for
centuries and consequently they had lost
The aptitude to learn.
Prof. Emidio Agostinoni discovered
he real cause. He noticed that the gov
arnment schools in the towns and viii
ages were not well attended, not because
the boys were not willing to go to them
out because they could not.
The majority of the inhabitants in the
