beginning of this habit may go back to childhood
How many foolish parents teach the child from baby

his finger, it is the naughty hammer that did it, and
the hammer must be whipped If she butts into chair
and gets bump, 1t is the mean old chair that hurt
baby and must be smacked oh, how foolish!
Teach the child that he she is intelligent rea-
sonng responsible being and that inanimate objects
are not to blame. Teach them responsibility. Teach
them to not blame their playmatesthat it is coward
ly TO do Teach them to know themselves and to
feel that it is their duty and privilege work their
own destiny bearing the full measure of responsibility
TOR what they do fail to do Tell him it was the
less boy who mashed his finger that the helpless ham,
mer not to blame and that he should the ham,

And when we have men and women who study their
own capacities know their failings and guard against
lhem take themselves the full of their
personal responsibility for failure shall have fewer
grumblers and less failures
