nestad pulled off an error. They
scored once in the first inning and
twice in the second.

The greatest thing that parents can
do for their children is to teach them
concentration of the mind as soon as
their intelligence begins to bud-and
that is very early. The mind of a
child generally takes its bent long
before the school days begin. The
proper education of children begins
from the cradle, and if it were pur-
sued as it ought to be the mental
force of mankind might be quadrup-
led in a single generation.
