Aeroplane Inventor Israel Ludlow is

Teach Happiness

The duty of the parent does not end
when the child is fed and clothed and
housed and sent 10 school Back Of all
this is a debt that some conscientious
parents believe cannot be Cancelled i'm a
whole lifetime, inasmuch as the par-
ents. and not the child. is responsible
for the child's existence. Certain 1t is
that parents owe thsir children that
care and attention that viii make good
men and women and useful citizens OF
them.
II is perfectly right and proper to ex-
Feet, and to exact obedience from the
child TO the father and mother. This. in
fact. is one of the prime factors in the
problem of rearing the child 10 useful
ness and happiness.
A disobedient and saucy child is not
only disagreeablc as a child, but rs
likely TO become more SO as he grows
older. And q positively disagTeeable
person makes few friends. Tile pert
saucy lad, who fancies that lie is wiser
than his parents, is the lad who is
likely to become a bOastful, egOustIcal
man Therefore. the child who ! al
lowed to grow up in this way has been
wronged by those who have had lis
rearing.
Parents too often refuse to deny them
selves for the sake of their children

and allow her to do whatever she could
with it. He was only too pleased if she
could save something out of it and he
acknowledged that she was marvellous
in this way.

better manager than the American or
English. 1 don't know why this is eX-
cspt that girls are trained 10 thrifty
ways far more carefully in Germany
Young women are brought up for house
work more than Is the case in any other
country. They are wonderfully clever
in managing house on little nIouey
and yet keeping up appearances. OF
course, we have sQuandeCing wives in
Germany as elsewhere. but perhaps not
quite so many,
