others, and lacking in ability to distin-
guisf justice from injustice
That she is so is due TO the false
attitude of her mother when she was
just a little shaver bringing home her
tale OF fancied injuries from school,
A mothers attitude has everything to
do with her child's success or failure
at school.
The lessons children gather from books
are but half the story. The young life
is highly sensitized, always receiving
(. impressions from one source or another
These impressions filter through the
young mind, IT may be for many days,
before they reach mother.
a child's own intelligence is deveI-
oped 90 a limited degree only. The
young brain awaits its final judgment

has passed before the mother mind
The IL amer in which mother receives
these outside impressions which have
come To the child has everything 10 do

permanent effect upon the forming
character.
Martha told her fanciful story. She
watched her mothers face closer than
the mother dreamed that she was do
ing At first the story was just "A little
petulance- Then the little girl read
sympathy and COndOnement in her
mothers face. and the story grew aDace.
Had Martha's mother discouraged the
little girls jealousy; taught her patience
and tolerance; inspired her TO greater
wOTthineSS Of her teacher love, the
young life would not have been turned
from the normal path Of sweet sun
shine into the rugged road Of frienGless
loneliness
Martha would have grown into a
sweet. lOvable. unseltish woman had not
her mothers attitude blocked her way
in life.
OF this l am very sure.
