The Care Of Children

Most assuredly children should be
taught to leave things alone, but one
should never put an object out OF
sight or reach, for by SO doing one in
Inmates to a child the possibility OF
his not being strong enough to re-
sist temptation. A child's nature Is
instinctively broad-one should not
hedge and shrivel it by suggesting
limitations.
He should not only be told that
there are many things which he must
not touch, but when old enough to
reason. he should be made to realize
the joyous truth that ne is captain OF
hmself-his will, his arms, his feet
are his to control.
II a mother says mo" she should
hold to It, even If in the conquest she
develops several cases of nerves.
for it is not alone the peace and or
der of the home which is at stake
but the steadfastness of the child him
self.
Many of us do not mean to make
1t more difficult for our children to
mind, but we surely do. II We do not
begin at the beginning and teach
them the principles Of self-control
ana consideration.
We surely do II We clutter our
home with senseless ornaments
we wax our floors until they are un-
safe for grownups as we'll as for the
small ones.
We surely do II we FIJI all our win
dows (avenues through which come
so much of health and inspiration)
with plants or other obstructions-if
we sacrifice comfort for artistic ef-
feet, If we give the pretty pretty ia
the baby just because he wants It,
thinking to correct him when older
or, worse still. II we put the much de-
sired out of reach for the sake OF a
case of nerves"

THE MAN WHO MADE THE FIRST
REAPER

In the current issue Of Farm and
Fireside" appears an interesting lit
tie article about Cyrus II. McCOr-
mick-the man who made the first
successful reaper. He built it as a
boy without his fathers knowing il
and tried it out one fall. II was not
entirely a.success but he made some
changes and tried il again. Finally
in 1891 he made his first successful
reaper. He kept on making i'm
provements and in 1884 had q ma
chine good enough to patent. He Of
fered them for sale for $50 apiece
but no one would buy. Finally in
1899 he invited lot Of farmers TO
see it work. II cut two acres an
hour. That was really wonderful
in those days but still no one would
buy il. The next year, 1870, a man
at Egypt, Virginia, bought the first
mcahine and paid $50 for il. II
worked, and faith in the new inven-
ton began TO spread.

THE DISCIPLINE OF CHILDREN
BY RT. REV. JOHN N. MCCORMICK, o. o.
Bishop Of the Protestant Episcopal church.)

New Testament the law is re-statedf
children obey your parents In the
Lord. for this ia right" Dutiful chill
dren like Samuel and Joseph are held
up for example and undutiful chill
dren like Ellis sons and like Absalom
for our warning.
No doubt some Of our straightlacsd.
Old Testament-loving ancestors over
worked the maxim. Spare the rod
and spoil the child" but we are now
going quite too far In the other di.
rection and are headed towards soft
ness. indulgence, and undutifulness.
American children are criticized a.
having bad manners and irreverent
behavior, little regard for their Do
rents and little respect for age and
authority. They are In danger Of be-
coming sophisticated, selfish, insubor~
dinate and unruly. Parents too fire.
Quently acquiesce In this unchildlike
assertiveness, and even appear to
think II smart In our homes and
schools should be taught the words OF
the wise man OF old. "Harken unto
thy father that begot thee and despiss
not thy mother when she is old
whose curseth his father or his moth
er. his lamp shall be put out In OBJ
scure darkness"
There are also parents who might
give heed to the Apostles warning.
Fathers. provoke not your childrea
to anger lest they be discouraged"
