DR.. PARKHURST
Writes on
Teachers and
Parents
They Are Charged With
Heavy Responsibility in
Directing the Desti-
MES of Children -
Written For The Georgian
Bv the Rev. DR.. c. H. Parkhurst

TIME following is a message to
our school teachers, to par
ents, and to all who are
charged with the heavy responsi
bility of giving first direction to the
impulses and ambitions of the chill
dren:
The idea that anybody no matter
who, is qualified to shape the initial
stages of a child's development is
as disastrous as it is unphilosophi-
cal.
The notion is that any old piano
Is good enough for a child to COM
mence 'practicing upon, any old
book good enough for it to use in
learning to read and any nine
penny teacher ample for cultivat-
ing the rudiments of character and
culture. No teacher is too good, no
salary exorbitant, when it is mat
ter of putting a child's feet upon
the pathway of life.
There is no getting away from
beginnings. The beginning lasts
clear through to the end.
More depends on what the little
boy gets in the nursery and in the
primary school than on what the
colegian gets in the university.
A good start means a grand fin
ish
There is no place in the world
where so much carelessness is dis
played and so much laundering
work applied in the laying of foun-
dations as in the instance of chill
dren-the one place OF all places

that only the extreme of considera-
ton would be exercised or toler-

3 3 THE IDEAL WIFE 3 3

TN HE other day l discussed in
this column the ten attributes
that, in my opinion, went to
make up the ideal husband. Now a
man asks me to tell what ten quail
tiles ! think necessary to the per
feet wife.
OF course, a mans idea of a good
wife, and a woman's idea of a good
wife may differ, but if l were
young man, any girl who succeeded
in Turing me to the altar and get
ting me to stand for her board bill
and shopping ticket the balance of
her life would have to show the
following ten earmarks:
First - Looks. Not necessarily
beauty, though l shouldn't object to
having living picture sitting
across from me at the breakfast
table but the girl married would
have to look healthy and sensible
and placid. No tense, drawn. nerv-
looking ladies for me. There
is plenty of excitement in married
life without adding hysteria to the
bunch.
Second-Clothes Dress may not
proclaim the man. but it does the
woman. The girl who wears thin
silk stockings and pumps on the
streets in midwinter shrieks aloud
her lack of judgment. The girl
whose clothes always look mussy
and as if they had been thrown at
her shows that she is lazy and
sloven. The girl who dresses be
yond her means advertises just how
selfish she is, and how little con.
sideration she has for her father
and will have for her husband when
she gets one. None of these for
me. ia pick out a girl for a wife
