ali the balance to the mother.
Most men recognize some duty they
owe their sons, although the generally
never pay 1t; at the same time few
men ever realize that thew have a
sacred obi cation to help develop their
daughters characters. They feel that
they can turn over their girls to their
wives with clear conscience.
Great Misfake
Never was there greater mistake.
Biologists tell US that daughters are
closer to their fathers in spiritual and
mental fibre than sons are: that there
is the same close tie between them
that there is between mothers and
sons. Common observation and eX-
perience bear this out. Every woman
will testify that she has always "un-
derstOOd" her father better than she
has her mother, and been in closer
sympathy with him. She has found
has IN her mOther-that is, of course
If she had a real human father and
rot a petrified Crouch or an animated
check book of a father.
It is just as true that every great
woman had great father as it is
that every great man has had a great
mother. That is why talent so often
slzips to the third generation, and
great mans genius reappears IN his
daughters son instead of his own son.
Fathers Influence Imparts Broader
View.
A fathers influence over his daugh-
ter when he chooses to exercise 1t,
is Drepotent because of this subtle
bond between them. And he gives to
his daughter not only in inheritance
but in training some quality Of
strength and bigness that a mother
can never give. You can pick out
among your acquaintances the women
who have been chUms with their
father without knowing anything Of
their personal history. They are more
tolerant, less personal have more
varied interests and a generally broad
er sympathy with life than the women
who have been under exclusively fem
mime tutelage all their lives.
This being the case, is 1t not pa
thetic, is it not criminal that more
fathers do not seek to influence their
daughters for good-that they do not
spend more time trying to put frllls
on their girls character instead OF
buying them frilIs for their backs?
Think of the misery that might be
avoided if fathers took enough inter-
est in their daughters beauE to in
fluence the girls to eliminate the un-
worthy ones. Think of the sorrow and
want it would save if every father in
fenced his daughter to learn some
good way by which she could make
living should she be thrown on her
own resources! Think of all it would
mean to the world if fathers impressed
on their daughters character an hon

she's pretty certain to be holdenlsh

refinement, and to so scorn the pro-
prieties that gossip is always busy
with her name. And she eats roast
beef and onions.
Both Are Needed
Raising a girl is no one man or no
one woman job. It takes both the
father and the mother to turn out a
specimen that is a credit to the hu-
man race and blessing to the world
she lives in The ideal woman must
have gentleness and force. she must
have sweetness and strength, she
must have innocence and knowledge.
These qualities are the composite OF

The world has always been so busy
rhapsodizing over a mothers infIu-
ence over her children that it has left
itself no breath in which to speak
of a fathers influence. But the latter
is equally as valuable and even more
potent. The pity of it is that so few
American children ever have the BEN

their lives.
