THE TRAINING or THE CHILD
Surely the Most Important Work That
Men and Women Can Be
Called Upon to Do.

There Is no mother or father among
us who has not at times been appalled,
by cur almost utter lack of equip
ment for the work Of rearing children,
declares a writer I'm the Detroit News.
II is by far the most important work
and women who are to make, or re-
make. or unmake the society OF the
future Most Of us are slaves of the
idea that the lig job Is to elothe and
feed them and give them the opportu-
mites the schools afford We would
save them from working with their
hands, and insure them starchcd
shirts during their lives. But all this
is nothing In comparison with the real
work of rearing the men and women
Of the future. We delegate to others
their training. moral. intellectual and
religious. We become mere feeders
and c!others Of bodies, and we do this
much for animals.
Children need companionship, and
means more than seq
regation In home with blood rela-
tives. The closest companionship IS
sometimes reserved for kindred souls
of other families, Children need to
be treated with consideration while
they are passing through the most
sensitive period OF their career You
can never wound a man as you can a
child. And II is almost impossible to
influence a man as you can child
