THE NIGHT AND |.

The night was creeping on the ground.
She crept along without a sound
Until she reached the tree, and then
She covered 1t. and stole again
Along the grass up 10 the wall.
, I heard the rustic of her shawl
Inside the room where / was hid;
But nc matter what she did
TO everything that was without,
She could not put my candle out:
SO pceped at the night, and she
Stared back so'Emnly at me.

Character Building Aided
By Training Of Emotions;
Recognised by Educators
Strong Desires and Passions Under Resolue Control Of
1 Wise Reason, Are Valuable Possessons-Develop-
ment of Them "More important Than
Mental Discipline" -

lem. Unregulated feelings are destruc-
tive and disintegrating forces In human
society, but no feeling at all Is death.
Advanced educators recognize the fact
that the development of character. the
stimulation of aspirations. the training
of the emotions are more important
than mental dicirline, but present day
schools make little, or no.. effort to edu-
in the way of fostering emotions, or in
teaching control of them. The intel
lectual faculties are all which, receive
any attention at tho public school OF
today. They are trained at the expense
Of both emotional development and
physical development

But, rs our exterior body would be-
come lame IL we tied up ono leg while

becomes unbalanced by cultivating only
the intellect. Our social idealists COM
plain of tho fact that our college wo'
men are becoming more and more In
capable of conjugal love and domestic
desires. but do nothing to change the
onesidedness OF our school system, OF
which the college course is the last
step. We are forgetting that our emo
tions are instruments to be used, not
impediments to be annihilated. and that
human beings with no strong desires
are to be pitied. perhaps as much al
the man who is ruled by his passions.
But. If we will remember to how large
extent our loves, our friendships, our
admirations are affected by our own
imagination, perhaps we will see how
we may develop the feelings we desire
by stimulating our imagnations In any
particular direction. The motion set up

thought which caused It. BY repetition

Before it has been crushed under the
routine of school work the imagination
Of tho average child Is very responsive
A story forcefully told will bring into
the child's imagination pictures of every
action embodied and will reproduce In
him the feelings which have stirred the
hero. or heroine, to action.
In emotional culture. activity plays
as large a roll as in mental: the desire
to accomplish, the elation caused by the
achievement, the Joy Of being able to
do. and similar feelings accompanying
every manual training course in every
school would alone be worth all 1t would
cost to establish and maintain 1t.

~ we will take a look at ourselves
we will find that every action of our
Il daily life Is prompted by some kind
OF desire; an attraction toward that
which causes us pleasure and n repul-
sion from that which causes us pain.
Our reason may point out the wisest
course to follow in order to attain the
object which we desire, but it is emotion
which impels us to action. The intel
lectual SIDE Of our nature can judge and
discriminate. but It can not get us to
act. Emotion. feeling. desire is the
motor power for our ship of life; reason
is it's captain. High pressure emotions,
poorly commanded, may cause ship
wreck, but the most superior reason in
the world can not make the human en-
gine move without emotions.
Who has not met wise and learned,
well-balanced and estimable persons who
make no particular mark upon the af-
fairs of the world because their desires
and aspirations alike are too weak and
ineffective to prompt them to energetic
action? Passionate 1ongings are for
eign to them the force that lies at the
root of evolution Is wanting.
