Training Children Hard Work.

1t is not an easy busfness-it - hard work
to train and discipline children. To control
them completely is . iong and hard business.
but there Is no task In the world that re-
qukes more self-discipiine. more sacrifice Of
unlovely selfiehness. On the other hand.
there are no tasks which have such compen-

Child Valuable in Society.

The value Of the child in human Societywa vas
never SO keenly realized as today. The hope
Of the future is in him. II his rights and
place are realized the great work Of the
world, and q greater work than ever has
been done. will be carried on. II his value
as a social unit IL not realised. the world
will go back instead OF forward 1t il almost
impossible to influence men greatly. but the
new light which science in shedding on the
world can be shown to children. and SO there
can be worked that great and beneficent rev.
olution which every great idealist dreams Of.
the coming OF q more perfect world.
We are In the century Of the child, and
there u unquestionably q great deal that Is
revolutionary in the situation. Children are
allow ed too great liberties because formerly
they were allowed too few. They are being
ruined and spoiled in new ways because
there is such a revolt from the old ways.
They often become uniovely and offensive
in this turmoil of new thinking about them.
but this IL NO more their fault than It Is the
fault OF the cloth that 1t gets made into q
clumsy garment In the hands Of an unskined
workman. 1t 10 q sad fact that there is but
a small per cent Of very fine work of any
sort in the world. 1t is a sadder fact that
only a few human beings are made Into fine
products. 1t is the ssddest Of facts that
immeasurable volumes Of splendid human
materials are forever being wasted.
The man needs the child, and the child
must have the man. There il no one thing
in which men shirk SO often as in this of
what should be their obligatory relation to
children. a realization of which, II rightly
grasped. brings them infinite development
and happiness. yet when shirked is forever
bringing some kind Of uneasiness and dis
comfort, no matter how far they try to re-
move Themselves from what 1t involves.
The child's will develops faster than his
experience. He must therefore be guided.
controlled. disciplined. This is the business
which elders shirk. or do not take the pains
TO conduct in the right way. 1t is a business
to be learned, to be practiced intelligently,
10 be pursued without intermission. There
are, unfortunately. a multitude Of ways Of
shirking ones responsibility in this business.
A mother shirks 1t when she does a thing
herself because II is a bother to teach her
son or daughter to make or mend. to
straighten or bend. A father does It when
he leaves the control Of his children to the
mother.

Forced Out by Immigrants.

A woman OF ~ who with her -FOUR cniioren
was going to Texas. left Massachusetts
mill town. she said. because her husband
could get no job there, owing to industrial
readtustmsnts.
There are about half dozen mills In the
town where We lived" the woman explained
MY husband was working in those mills
ever since he was boy. He was earning
q pretty fair wage UP to about four years
ago. Then there came an influx of imrni-
grants. Today the immigrants are not only
In the majority but compose more than ~
per cent Of workers in the mills. Toward
these immigrant workers the superintend-
ents, the foreman. and. In the last analysis.
the employers. have adopted an attitude
which 10 different from the attitude they
held toward their employees when these were
American.
Ny husband 10 an American. He was in
the mills when things were different When
q new foreman began to treat him In the
same manner in which he treated the i'm
migrant laborers-which was to treat them
like beasts-my husband protested The re-
suit was that he had to look for another
job.
He tried the other mills in town and
worked in each Of them from eight months
to year. He could not last in any Of the
mills The mills in our town are now run
after pattern which was designed especial
ly for foreign workers. The American work
<r 10 not wanted there. He is not told %.
but the foreman will nevertheless hire a
foreigner wherever possible. With for
signer he Ii Unceremonious With an Amer
lean worker he has to keep himself In gen
tlemanly lim!ts
The only thing left for my husband and
myself was to go down the scale as it were.
to drop some Of our sensftivene.s and take
s curse and an oath from the foreman Just
as the immigrant takes it. That is not easy
TO do. The immigrant when he comes TO
this country most often beg,ns to learn the
English language by learning the swear
words frst. He does not feel SO hum ,liated
when shouted and sworn at as the American
does. because he does not understand the
insult which 10 thrown at him, or because
he thinks that things have to be that way
IN this country.

- Ohm EAHNCOAB 10 assistant man.
aser Of one OF the largest insurance
companies In the Dominion Of Canada.
His salary 10 5000 . year. Two years
~ ago he was Junior cashier In an impls-
ment factory that employs Thousands Of men.
His salary then was'S1 week.
Farncomb's fortunes were changed. not 90
much by . boldly aggressive stroke ~ By
the sggressiveness Of new surroundings and
. new employer: he httched up to an entirely
new idea Of personal efficiency.
He owed his rise only secondarly to his
own axsressiveness. For his rise began with
. change Of job. and the change had Its roots
In the rather lazy desire to escape the long
hours Of his first employment. That was
Farncomb's incentive. and It was . shabby
one.
Approved by Other Employees.
Some weeks previous. when the manager
Of the insurance company determined to en-
gage him for q minor place, he posted IN in
timation to that effect on the bulletin board
OF the ONCE cloakroom. II any man on the
stan had anything against " Farncomb or
regs rded him A. Q stumbling block to the
social harmony Of the place, or knew OF him
as a chronic grumbler. he was at liberty to
enter . confidential objection to the new
conner. and, indeed. the men took full ad-
vantage sometimes Of this unique privilege.
Farncomb's clean record won him full ap-
proval 80 that he came to the insurance
company. recognising that he was engaged
a. much by tho star a. by the manager.
He began the day At Q O'clock fresh and
vigorous. The manager personally intro
duced him to his comrades. using the fact OF
the newcomers ability a. an osrman - .
convenient topic for breaking the ice"
Then the accountant took him in hand.
showed him what his work was. and that
started him on his insurance career.
The irst week Farncomb learned some un-
expected conditions OF his new job. For
the man who picked up most policies for the
company ION the side" during the year there
was a reward Of six weekr holidays on fun
salary and $500 to boot: the second prize was
based on the same idea in reduced propor-
tions and so on down to fve or six sub
stantial rewarda
Salary Automat tically Raised.
Every deserving mans salary rose auto
naticaIly each New Years from 3lOO to 1910
II the pay envelope was not fatter by the
silent intdmation that 1t was time to =. buck
up" or try some other line
Here was q gathering Of forty to nifty well
paid men running an insurance company
capitalized at $10.OOOOO And the forty
or fifty we'll paid men were doing what hum
dred mechanically directed men next door
were unable to do.
Asked why the manager said:
Because my men are the insurance COM
pany: the shareholders and directors are
regarded chiefly as investors. We never hire
q man here: We ask him to come with US
and the wording has q different ring. 1t
means get in the boat with the bosses' So

for a raise until the secretary came to him
very confidentialiy and said the board Of

stretched his arm across the ledger Of his new

a million to philanthropy. He didn't give
1t. He stole II from his employees. then paid
out part Of II to buy the title Of bsnefacor
from . public that is only too willing to
sell it,
The other day Farncomb-now assistant
msnsgsr-was asked this question: What
WAS the chief factor in your rise to the man
agership?" And this is what he said:
Il used to think my intense interest in this
business was due to natural generosity and
devotion. my unselnsh desire to see q good
thing succeed. But as l look back over 1t
now believe It was because felt was get
ting my share OF the company's profits.
From the day entered this place there was
a definite series Of yearly recognitions in
full view and they were awarded every New
Years. with regard only to a mans actual
merit over q prolonged period. The employ
er in this kind OF business who stints the
pay roll and looks to the loyalty Of his en-
ployes to build up his surplus Is thieving from
himself. For every dollar he stints he'll get
two srumbles. and nothing saps the possibili-
ties Of a business so quick as grumbling.
Because felt my stake in the company

Precipitation l was willing to give the COM
pany q monopoly Of my thoughts and ener-
gies during business hours. turned my

Cruelty Often Embittefs.

There IL no greater proof Of the naturally
splendid power in q mans own soul than the
fact that sometimes, out OF neglect and even
hostility in the home Of his birth. he yet
raises himself to . successful place In the
world. Yet the cruelty Of his bringing up
as he comes to years Of discretion often en-
bitters a successful man and makes him .
far less effective member Of society than he
would have been II his strong soul had been
trained by his equals. II II had been controlled
in its development by those Of ripened and
seasoned experience.
There 10 90 much that 10 subtle and intan-
gible in the growth Of man and mind that
men, seeing only the open and the obvious
things. reason most foolishly about such
matters as the bringing up Of child. just ~
they reason most foolishly about the matter
Of eating. Because a child gets on some
how in spite Of all the wrong influences and
training. just as men get on somehow-often
suffering great losses OF time and energy
in spite of all evil ways Of eating. they will
present divers arguments to prove that such
ways are all right-they have lived in spite
Of them. Such arguments are like saying
that a poor rag which has been dragged
through mud and mire has had the treat
ment that should be given a piece OF silk to
insure its greatest and most satisfactory
service. Not being able to see results In
black and white. they cannot see the rag
that their body or soul has become. or at
any rate they refuse to recognise the unnec-
essarily deterioratsd things. as rags: and not
having the finer sense to see what tremen-
dous losses Of vital power and what wastes
there have been. they settle down satisfied
with a final result that is entirely incom-
mensurate with the value Of the material
they started out with.
Men and women need child life and they
need that this child life should be beautiful.
As 1t would be II every man would do his
duty. Bachelors and spinsters realize this
need and are adopting children or taking into
their homes the child Of the sister or brother,
becoming far happier as a result
