The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1908-10-03
Judge Lindsey on ChiIdren's Needs.

Every one has heard of, and
many have had the pleasure of
hearing, Judge Lindsey of the Ju-
venile Court of Denver. His success
in handling cases has given him a
we'll merited reputation in dealing
with "bad boys" and his influence
has been so great in reforming
these same boys that words from
him are always worth more than
their weight in gold.
This is what he has to say of the
needs of our children of today:
''The best education for the citi-
zenship of tomorrow is the educa-
tion of the human heart. Children
need formation, not reformation,
and formation must come from
the heart. Mere intelligence does
not necessarily mean good citizen
ship. This we have learned to our
sorrow from certain recent disclos-
ures showing up the records of
some of our most intelligent busi-
ness men. But it must be remem-
bered that no citizen is entirely
without responsibility to childhood.
His every word and every act
leave their good or evil impress in
the world, and let us be careful
that we do no injury to one of
these little ones, or the milestone
may be hanged about your neck
and mine as we'll as that of him
who offends. 1t is becoming in
creasingly the duty of the school
to form the character of the little
child. Unfortunately this is en-
couraging many cowardly parents
to become miserable shirks, to
push the entire burden 90 the
school. Such parents are menace
to citizenship, and therefore ene-
mics to the republic.
Sometimes the best fathers and
mothers shudder at the tremendous
responsibility of rearing their own
children. They know the skill,
the patience, the tact, the sympa
thy and firmness required to shape
and form the most delicate instru-
ment in the world. DR.. Hills has
we'll said skill in handling marble
was nothing compared to skill in
handling men. May I say that the
best time to handle a man is when
he is boy? l grant you that
justice must be meted out. And,
while, as some one has said, that
love without justice may be senti-
ment in weakness, there is certain
ly no justice without love. Every
child has the divine right to be
born we'll and reared we'll. Chill
dren are entitled to sympathy, pa
tience, kindness and trust. They
are entitled to respect, if we are to
be respected in return. They love
to please, and true obedience should
not come because you are boss or
autocrat, but because love and
affection have earned for you the
respect of the child, who should
obey you not because he is afraid
of you, but because he respects
you and loves you.

Prof. FOrtier ElonOred.

Upon Prof. Alcee Fortier, head
of the French department of Tulane
University, Laval University of
Quebec, Canada, has just conferred
the degree of doctor of letters.
Laval University is one of the most
noted universities in Canada, and
it is unique among American uni
versities because all its courses are
delivered in the French language.
The degree of doctor of letters has
been conferred rather sparingly by
this university.

and never will be.
You have reached heaven, dear,
Led by the Savior's hand,
And Joined the holy,
Though missing by our band.
Released from pain and sorrow,
Sin and harm unknown,
There comes no sad to morrow,
Where Jesus reigns above.
7 knew not how loved him,
How dear he was to me,
Till sitting in the shadow,
His face / cannot see.
I miss you, oh my darling,
Tears will begin to fall,
| come to my Saviour.
Who kindly wipes away them all.
Jesus doeth all things well,
say it now in tears,
But | will sing it with those l love,
Through bright, eternal years.
The day will come, when shall
see his face and hear his voice.
His loving wife,
