formed in mind and body, she said
that first the child should be well
born then well nourished and sensi-
bly, dressed.
We need no Herod today, said DR.,
Rice, the cheap candies and other
wrong foods work our slaughter of
the innocAnts for us. And the child
should be taught the dignity of sim
plicity of dress. How many girls
have gone to their doom on the shoals
of the desire for gorgeous finery. The
child with the high minded father
and the noble loving mother has the
best inherited start and the best home
training for its formative years SO the
parents are responsible for the right
rearing of the child, for as a man
thinketh in his heart so is he and so
will his child be- The child has
right to a sound body and perfect
mind. to good food and warm clothes
and to good home training He must
be taught obedience and truthfulness
and confidence in his parents, respect
to his elders, promptness in all things,
contentment, the value of honesty in
money and in honor even in the as
suming of false values in his person
mel of school relation ana in his play.
The arts of peace should come into
his life rather than the arts of war
such as playing soldier and above
all teach the child humanity; the love
of the boy for his friends and broth
ers and the girl the ststerhood of the
women of this world Thus will their
sense of justice. be developed Mans
inhumanity to man makes countless
thousands mourn and who can say
how many thousands womans inhu-
manity causes to mourn. Children
must be taught courage, not the cour-
age of war but the courage Of peace,
to never stop because the task is
hard, This is the tale of the wood
chuck who climbed tree because he
had to and not because he could"
DR.. Rice said that Longfellow had
written about the little children who
died being the bouquets of the angels
but she thought they were not intend
ed for any such use. Better they not
be born that to live and die in in
fancy.
And when the child is born with
its well body and fine mind give it's
birthright in sunshine and fresh air
and food and clothes and it will take
its education with ease. Educate the
children for their life work with this
standard Of honor and home training
and you will eliminate the most of the
evils of this life. Save the children
from the sweat shops, teach them the
danger Of narcotics. The honesty of
life and their educations will follow
in perfect sequence For high stand
ard of thoughtNneans better world,
and low standard means immortality
for as a man thinketh in his heart so
is he"
