TRAINING OF THE CHILD

But first, the parents and the teach

I have seen a dreamy, visionary
improvident and extravagant bo,

guidance of an uncle he loved, anC
who loved him.

times, sometimes an anaemic condi.
ton. sometimes the result of false
education.
The child that never hears stories
about the dark" who never read
Little Red Riding Hood" and other
ear-inciting tales, and who has not
been nagged and scolded by it's par
ents in the effort to make it per-
ect child, is not liable to feel fear on
slight provocation.
The old theology, with its absurd
and blasphemous stories of lakes of
hell-fire for the children of unbeliev-
ers and an avenging and frowning
God, did much to awaken fear in chill
dren and render them nervous and
timid.
I have heard mature men describe
the nights of horror they passed as
little children after listening to one
of the old-time sermons and the aw-
full terror of death which such per-
nicious teachings inculcated. A moth
er who. during the nine months pre-
ceding her child's birth, lives in fear
of poverty or death, or who is in ter
ror of a drunken or cruel or unkind
husband, marks her child with a timid
and easily frightened nature.
l have seen child of two or three
years who was given to hours of hys-
terical weeping without any appar-
ent cause. But the cause lay in the
fact that the mother lived with her
husbands family, and the baby was
unwelcome TO all, as the father was
dependent financially on his parents.
Yet such an unfortunate birthmark
can be educated out of The child by
a cheerful and kind and wholesome
environment.
While the great talents cannot be
educated into human being, all the
unworthy and unfortunate traits can
be educated out and the great virtues
awakened by persistent efforts on the

sent her little daughter Eleanor to de-

the invitation and as she was about to
