speaking, children are far more suggest
ible than adults.
Nurses should be selected with utmost
care. Some nurses produce in children a
degree Of fear which requires years to
eradicate. Children should not be al
lowed to associate with nurses whose
eyes betoken cruel dispositions or bad
tempers.
The soul shines through the eyes.
Children are very keen sighted and
their powers Of perception are far greater
than most parents realize. therefore men
, tai images. both good and bad. are easily
formed. Much mischief is often caused
by the character of the conversations OF
nurses and their associates.
The writer has known many vicious
habits to be created in children through
their association with poorly selected
nurses.
II solid happiness we prize,
Within our breast this jewel lies,
And they fools who roam:
The world has nothing to bestow.
From own selves joys must flow,
And that dear hut-our home.
