In England. Scotland, France
and some other parts of the con-
tinent it was formerly the GUS
tom of the young people to meet,
write each others or some of
their acquaintances' names on a
slip of paper, which were thrown
into a box from which they were
drawn the men taking the girls
names and vice versa. The per-
son thus drawing became ones

was bound to devote himself to
the one who drew him. Some
times of course this led to real
engagements between the par
ties and often tricks were Played
in such a way that the slips of

Obedience the First Principle.

So to my mind. the properly brought up
child should learn obedience while he is
etfil too young to know what he is taught.
He should never have the idea of refusing
to obey.
am fully aware that this is likely to
provoke cry of protest from some of the
new school of child trainers. 1t is not the
first time have come to " grips " with
them The theory that a child should De al

eventuaily-on fowery beds of ease-but 10
ing to happen? Don't you know that he
and are you not fully aware that he would
be PUPPY and worthless member of society

wait until he must undergo the roughness

still pliable?
Wherever or whatever we are, we must
yield obedience to some power When your
boy goes to school he must obey the teach

fellows or be punished sent to Coventry.
Are you willing he should get through that
experience unbuttressed by any previous
knowledge of Difference to authority?
AS he grows older and undertakes bust
ness profession, any kind of work, he ia

him, too he must resign his own will, his
own ideas If he is to be success in learn
ing the details OF the work in which he is
engaged. He must bow to the laws of the
land or get into trouble. He must obey the
laws of nature or suffer. He must conform
to the will of GOD or lose the best of life
here and hereafter. How age you fitting
him for any or all of these allegiances If
you fail to train him to obey you, to trust
your wisdom, to believe that you know best
what he should do until he is old enough to
weigh and compare for himself?

Methods That Follow Neglect.

These are the methods to which the aver

her child's babyhood discipline. Leonard

of what constituted right and wrong and
since they differed entirely from those of
his mother. he had trouble coming to him
when she endeavored to change his atti-

From One Point of Tiep.

You question that Have you ever no
ticed the difference between the youngsters
who have it all their own way and those
who have been educated to obedience? To
look at it from only one point of view is
not such a scene as 1 have note0-and
scenes like this are an everyday matter in
many households of more pain
and misery than any amount of judicious
early training?

friend to the dancing class where her little
daughter was to display some of the skill

and watch the exercises, but after while
the music and the sight of the flying feet

floor he went, among the dancers, doing
some funny little steps of his own, bobbing
and ducking in way which was amusing
to the spectators but extremely diSconcert-
ing to the dancers.
