best characters are not always de-
veIoped in the best homes, and environ

must fit and make our homes the best
possible place for the development OF
the child's character and Keep him IN
the sphere of his parents Dy the
proper modes of living. Character is
developed by two things-the home
1 daily life and the home religious life
The child is a bunch Of nerves and
must be kept busy; children are phil
osophers. but the body must be made
sound first, then the mind Will be
sound; there are no two children alike
and each must be studied in an indt-
vidual way"
