THE MOTHERS OPPORTUNITY.

There is one opportunity which the
mother has that she too often over
looks-the opportunity to decide de-
and firmly ten, fifteen on
twenty years in advance what kind
of man or woman she intends her
child to become.
The opportunity is not so often
overlooked in respect to outward ac-
complshments as it is in respect to
character. When a mother decides
that her daughter shall be a pianist,
she not only has the girl taught grad
ually, year in and year out, until the
little fingers become supple from ex-
ercise, but she Is also careful that
the growing mind is stimulated and
the uncertain taste made sure by
hearing good music. So 1t Is with the
boy who is destined for one OF the
professions; he is trained systemat-
ically with that definite purpose In
view. But how few mothers take the
same pains to study and train what
ever special moral aptitudes their
children may have! The training OF
the childs moral nature is seldom
done according to a plan carefully
thought out, with the definite quality
OF character that he is capable OF at
tanning In mind, but 1t is rather al.
lowed to be a matter Of chance and
good Intentions.
An eye for justice. however, may be
cultivated as we'll as an eye for ar
chitectural design; fortitude, quick
ness of sympathy and breadth OF
mind may be developed just as sure
ly as taste for music, and in the
course of life the possession Of then
will bring happiness in much larger
measure than the ability to sing
write books, or build bridges. More
over, fine traits Of character, care
fully fostered, help wonderfully to In
sure the effective use OF whateve
talents the child may have.
There are no schools expressly TO
the training of these precious attrt
butes. The mother must study tn
problem we'll and wisely, lay out tn
curriculum according to the needs G
, her particular pupils, and carry thrc
her plans by dint OF infinite patienc'
