Training the Future Citizen

This is the day of the child. EVERY
where he Is in evidence. "Our future cit
izen" we say, and wonder what we can
do to help In the great movement that
is to aid in making him all that he
should be. Fairgrounds he must have,
gardens he, must have, rooms must be
set apart for him within doors. He must
have the right kind of instructor to di>
rect his play as well as his study; the
proper kind of food at home and In
school, the proper kind of clothes are
also matters of no small moment. Now
all of this is as it should be if kept
within bounds.
The trouble Is that our American i'm.
pulses carry us at times too far. We for.
get, some of us, that in training the
child. for the ideal citizen to be-" we
must guard against making that citizen
selfish We forget that as parents, in
overriding for him when he is little, we
are handicapping him when he is grown,
in two ways-directly and indirectly. Di-
rectly, in that he will have become
through habit inconsiderate of others; in
directly. in that the parents will be
worn out physically. so that they cannot
met him mentally And 1t Is when he
is grown that he will need their help as
much, II not more, than when he Is
small. The parent deprives himself In

A Woman's Bravery

story, treasured by her relatives, 10
told of the patriotism of Catharine Schuy-.
Ter, daughter of John Van Rensselaer, OF
Albany, N. Y, and wife of the we'll
known Gen. Philip Schuyler.
Mrs. Schuyler's husband, SO the story
goes, sent word that he wanted all the
wheat on his estate at Saratoga burned
to prevent 1t from falling into the pos
session of the British. With her own
hands Mrs Schuyler set fire to the stand
ing wheat and ordered her tenants to fol-
low her example.
When Bourgoyne surrendered he and
his stuff were graciously received by Mrs.
SCHUYLER In her husbands home. She
entertained them as if they were guests
for a number of days.
Completely overcome by her courtesy
and kindness, Bourgoyne murmured his
thanks and offered apologies for having
destroyed Mrs Schuylers beautiful home
and for pillaging the silver plate and
heirlooms of her family. The noble Cath
arine passed his words by and General
Schuyler simply remarked, Such is the
fortune of war"
When the British soldiers returned to
England they sang the praises of this
much admired woman, Catharine Schuy-
