TRAIN TO BE PUNCTUAL.
BY H. ADDiNGToN BRUCE
OF

Contrast with this the method EN-
ployed by the second mother, as
described by Mrs. Birney:
THE second mother, as soon az
her children reached school age,
said TO each one OF them very earn
estly:
Now. my dear. you have learned
TO tell the time. and mother aS well
as your teacher will expect you 10
be always prompt at school Moth
er will remind you the first two or
three mornings. but after that you
must depend entirely upon your
self.
1T happened in the first or sec
ond week that the child, being In
terested in something else. forgot
TO make his preparations in time to
reach school before the bell sound
ed; but the one lesson in hardness
was sufficient TO insure perfect
punctuality thereafter.
Though this mother knew the
child would be tardy. she did not
depar; from her rule not to remind
him; and the result was that her
children early learned the value OF
time, while punctuality became sec
ond nature TO them.
NO one could have been more
sympathetic than she over the one
hardness, but at the same time she
very gently and lovingly encouraged
the child TO realize that II he were
careful II need not occur again"
Training like this does more than
develop a habit OF punctuality. II
also helps to make children con-
scientious and self reliant: and IL
awakens In them the spirit OF initia-
tive.
Wherefore II Is particularly TO be
commended to all parents pulling
over the problem OF how to train
their children TO do things st the
right time.

Leonard Boyle, husband in his twen-
