The whole country was witness the
while, to the need for a real government.
instead Of q mere advisory Congress. to
bind the inchoate nation together In
more than .makeshift union.
Every disorder. every dimculty but
made this need the more pressing and
the more painfully evident; and difhcul.
ties and disorders multiplied fast enough
in the East as well as In the West
No hope Of national achievement. no
ideal of independence or of power could
be fulfilled while the very organization
OF the nation stood thus formless and
dissolved. There is scarcely anything
that can. wound the pride or degrade the
character of an independent nation"
cried Mr.. Hamilton. (which We do not

Efforts were made to secure for Con-
gress the right to lay and collect taxea
in order that at least its existence and
such powers as IT already had should
not be at every turn dependent upon the
attitude and action Of the several States:
but the States were not willing to IN
crease its authority so much.
In 1855 they were asked to intrust to the
Congress at least the collection and use
of a revenue laid upon imports; and so
plain had both the necessity and the pro-
priety Of such an addition to its efficiency
by that time become that all OF the
States except New York consented.
But it required the unanimous consent
of the States to amend the Articles OF
Confederation, and New York's refusal
set even this aside
New York had no mind to relinquish
the duties which she collected for herself
at her great port-not only upon foreign
commerce. but also upon goods brought
out of the other States. her neighbors: on
farm produce and garden truck from
New Jersey and firewood from Connecti-
cut-making her spreading harbor a YER
liable toll-gate.

Initiating.
BY JOHN d. BARRY.

Richard Mansfield, the actor, used to be sensi-
tive about the unkind things occasionally said Of
the stage and of actors. He regarded the ability
to act of the deepest of all human instincts.
He declared that it through nearly every ex-
preston of life, that most human beings acted
nearly all the time. In a sense. Mansfield was
right Acting results from the instinct to initiate.
And the instinct to initiate is deep-seated and one
of the first of the instincts to reveal itself. By
it nature gives earliest lessons in living. So
quick children to initiate that educators regard
the early years as of chief importance in the form
ing of character.
1t is often amusing to the initiative instinct
at work in children. On the stage and in, every
day life children born actors. Among them
the initiative instinct finds plastic material to
work and to mold. AS children grow older
certain habits of imitation become fixed. These
may last through life, working their influence for
good or for i'll.

A Line o Cheer Each Day o the Year.

First printing of original poem. written daily

The Washington herald., 1915-09-03

Years ago, when first went to Paris, used
to be astonshed to hear the little French children
that playing under the trees in the Champs
Elysees chattering away in French. Though they
had been at work the language not nearly as
many years had been at work, they had al
ready acquiSed kind of perfection could not
hope to attain They had simply taken in the
language through their ears and made it their
own by means Of the initiative instinct, which, in
me, so far as the acquiring of new language was
concerned, had become enfeebled.
My own astonishmcnt and my envy of those lit
tie ones was delighted to hear echoed by French
lady l met in Paris at that time She had just
come back from visit to London and asked her
what had impressed her most during her stay.
Quick as flash she replied: Hearing the chill
drcn speak English in the parks 1t wonder
full"

In all those the influence of en-
vironment at work. The marvel is that, in train
ing children, we don't give it more consideration.
We often speak of environment if it a
material thing largely matter of neighborhood
But it is mental and it is spiritual
In the most subtle ways we all contribute to it.
not merely by our speech, but by attitude to-
ward one another WELL even by our thinking.
When children live in a narrow environment,
accompanied by cramping influences, they are al
most certain to become narrow. When they see
about them expressions of i'll will, of envy, of jeal-
ou.y and of resentment they learn both to express
and to feel all those qualities. In other words they
act UP to those qualities.
Parents. often wonder why their children are, as
they say, so bad" They seldom stop to think of
the influence of the example set by themselves

| used to have a similar sensation myself in
hearing English children speaking Their clear
enunciation their use of words and phrases seldom
spoken by children in this country, their pretty
voices made me realize the carelessness of our
way of speaking.
Those children had not been taught to speak
we'll. By the instinct to initiate they had merely
reproduced the pronunciation and the tones Of
those about them.

Once in Venice l was approached by Italian
guide offering his services. He spoke English
very fuently and l went along with him. AS he
proceeded with his explanations l was amazed to
discover that he used what to my ear was the
most absurd Cockney dialect. favored with an
Italian accent. asked him where he had learned
English He replied: "On board ship. For five
years l was sailor on English steamer rum
ming between Liverpool and Genoa"
He seemed to be unaware that there was any
thing peculiar in his language though, in his
long experience guide, he had evidently met
a great many English-speaking travellers.
By means of the initiating instinct nature had
enabled him to learn language in a peculiar
dialect, and once fixed in his mind it remained
fixed
