A SHINING MORNING FACE

A principle of psychology which
every mother should know is that the
last thought before going to sleep
makes the deepest impression. Try
it. The last thought at night is sure
to be the, first waking thought. A
child should never be punished just
before going to bed if you wish to
create in him a joyous disposition.
A happy bedtime will mean a sunny
morning face. @
Another important fact, based more
upon physiological than upon psyche.
logical principles is the Importance of
a happy msealtime. Perhaps the child
has done some little naughty thing
and is scolded for it until he cries
or is sent from the table. His din
ner is spoiled He needs that din
ner. He cannot be happy if he is
hungry or if he feels undue censure
and he will be cross or depressed all
afternoon Did you ever indulge in
weeping at mealtime or allow your
self to become very angry? AS it
was with you, so is it with the child.
It is well-known physiological fac:
that anger and grief interfere seri-
ously with digestion If you wish to
lay in your child a foundation for

a halfway success and then. pausing,
look out upon the world and wonder
why her life is so far short OF what
her friends has reached.
There is as much glory in a loaf OF
well-baked bread as in adding figures
Or teaching a child to read. 1t isn't
the kind of work, but the way it is
done that spells success or failure
when the balances of life are struck.
The glory of living consists in giving
to the world what God has given to
you.
With t,lis thought as q keynote,
mold with gentle hand the young life
insrusted to your care. Fit and train

world-nct the attempted part Of
somebody else.
